One of the biggest catastrophes that our company has ever suffered is the fire that burnt down our office building.  Thankfully no one was hurt, but most of our computer equipment was destroyed, though thankfully we did have backups.

While the office was going to be rebuilt, we still needed to conduct our business operations to ensure that the business didn’t go belly up.  Though the insurance company was going to pay for the destroyed equipment, they were not going to replace the lost income, so it was up to us to find something that would work.

What we ended up doing is contacting several computer rental businesses in the area to get quotes for the equipment that we would need to setup a temporary office.  We also secured  a couple of laptop rentals for those executive whose laptops were destroyed in the fire.  Surprisingly, the cost for the rentals was much lower than we had expected which was good news after all the tragedy.

We will be setting up the temporary office tomorrow in a building that we are renting for a few months until the old office building is rebuilt.  It will just be nice to get back to business as usual and leave the fire behind us.
