Office Move Request

Office moves are frequently required in organizations and therefore standardized procedures are used in most organizations for efficiently handling large number of these requests. The service described here is a simple office move, which only involves relocating boxes and office goods. The Office Move service would often be combined into a composite service that also includes asset updates for moved computers, network reconfiguration, rerouting of telephone and so forth.
