TechRepublic KY 
If anyone requires payment the day of service make sure you have the checks signed and ready. If the client is paying the bill directly don’t forget that their accounting department is also moving so don’t spring the request on them at the last minute. If IT is a critical resource how will you keep the business up and running while everyone else is moving? Not every company can unplug its IT department even for a few minutes let alone for a day or two. Remember that this isn’t a comprehensive checklist for moving day; it’s a list of things you should consider long before moving day. (If you’re supervising and coordinating the actual move you’ll need someone to help because you can’t be in two places at one time. Choose this person well ahead of time and include them in the planning stage. )Have you helped a client move its IT department? If so tell us what worked and what didn’t.
