Costly Systems?
Example Issues
  • Do you have to call someone out to your systems on a regular basis?
  • Do you often feel like you only get a short term solution instead of a complete cure?
  • Do you avoid buying software upgrades because the license costs are too high?
  • Are you missing out on business because your systems cannot support you?
  • Do you avoid buying new hardware because it will be out of date too quickly?
Possible Causes
There is often the assumption that as a business, you need to have the most up-to-date equipment to be efficient but it is simply not the case. Most businesses can function perfectly well without the fastest processor or the latest version of software that is available. The key is to have hardware and software that can work together to meet your requirements. Example causes for these issues are:
  • Your IT provider is only dealing with the symptom of the problem rather than getting to the root cause
  • Your software or hardware is not compatible with each other
  • Your system performance is suffering because you have added a number of bolt-ons rather than purchased upgrades or new software
  • You have numerous single licenses rather than a bulk license agreement
  • You look at the prices of the newest kit on the market rather than analysing exactly what you need and pricing that up
Our Approach to a Solution
Our approach would be to spend some time with you and your staff to identify where your unnecessary or inflated costs are for your systems and talk through what you really need from your systems. We would then suggest several options to either reducing the amount you are spending, or options to get the most out of your systems for the money you have already paid. Alternatively, it may be more cost-effective in the long-run to spend a little more in the short-term to help reduce your monthly outgoings.
