Our Desktop PC Relocation Service

Whether you’re moving your offices or relocating an entire call centre, at Edward Baden we can help make your move as smooth as possible. One of our most popular and very handy services is our Desktop PC Relocation Service.

You may think that moving some computer equipment is easy but just consider the logistics of moving 2 or 3 or maybe over 20 PCs, each of which needs to have the monitor, hard-drive, keyboard and mouse moving. Plus everything reconnected to the network so employees can access software and files. It’s no easy feat.

At Edward Baden we will do all this for you – plus more. We also audit all your IT equipment during the move to ensure you end up with exactly the same equipment as you started with. We will even document the preferred position of equipment at each desk so your employees experience the least possible upheaval – getting them back to work quicker. For example some employees prefer their monitor straight in front of them, some to the left or some to the right. We’ll make sure everything ends up a suitable position at each terminal after your office relocation.

We will work with you produce a relocation map layout and reinstall equipment in a predetermined order in your desired timeframe.

Keeping Track of Your IT Equipment

Whether you’ve recently undertaken an office relocation or are considering a business move, it’s important to get a complete audit of what your company has in terms of IT equipment. In a large business, it can be especially difficult as staff may move equipment around. One of the services we offer at Edward Baden as relocation specialists, is a full IT audit.

This is relatively straightforward to do and will require very little time on the part of your staff. We will come to your business premises and identify and tag all IT equipment, regardless of its location. For each item we will give you the following information:

Date – the date the audit was done which identified the equipment was within your business.
Item Description – a full description of the item including the make and model number.
Tag Number – the number of the tag we allocated to the individual item.
Current Location – the current location of the item. This will comprise of the desk number and office number, if applicable so you will be able to instantly find the item.
Value – the current value of the item.


Our IT audits are not only great for identifying equipment you thought was misplaced, but also ideal for providing to your insurance company. Regular IT audits going forward will also help to identify loss, theft or damage to equipment, as well as the flow of equipment through the premises.
