Records Management Best Practices: Canada’s Largest Ever Corporate Move
If you’ve ever had to move your office, your business or even your
home, you know what a challenging task it can be. So it isn’t hard to
imagine what a massive undertaking it was for Imperial Oil to move
its head office from Toronto to Calgary. In fact, it remains the largest
corporate move in Canadian history.
Files are not Furniture
The enormous collection of physical documents held by Imperial Oil
Ltd. was the largest component of the move and presented a major
challenge. It was critical to IOL that the security and accessibility of
its documents be maintained at every stage of the move – files would
not be treated like furniture. Recognizing this, IOL’s head office
move team chose to partner with a provider that could help them
execute a seamless move from start to finish.
After an extensive search, IOL retained TAB Products of Canada,
Co. to oversee the file moves of several groups, including the
Executive, Treasury, Occupational Health and Human Resources.
TAB’s unique approach to a move of this scale is embodied in what it
calls the “Pack, Track and Move” methodology, a fusion of strategic
document management disciplines with on-site design and moving
expertise. TAB’s approach brought a true “end-to-end” solution to
the move, and made them a perfect fit for IOL’s existing plan.
