Company moving premises (general question)

    Hi all,

    I will soon be consulting to a company that is moving about 6 hours drive away - and that's all I know for now!!  No idea if they are moving to the Cloud or remaining on-premise.

    Very broadly, what kind of questions would you ask, or what considerations should I know about?

    Thanks.

    I would start with
    1. Source infrastructure
    2. Target infrastructure
    3. Tolerable / allowed down time
    4. Business level plan for the move

    I would also ask them what their expected completion date is for the migration.

    Are they hiring you as a consultant to make the move for them?  What did they hire you to do?  And a 6 hour drive sounds a bit far for a commute. 😉  My first question would be "When will remote access be available and what are the steps to login remotely?"
