Quote for the Month:

"Productivity is being able to do things that you were never able to do before."
    -- Franz Kafka

For most companies, the single largest cost to the business is payroll. Unfortunately, the level of productivity related to payroll costs is very difficult to measure. It is safe to say that all companies rely upon technology to be more productive. If that technology is not proactively managed, in many cases it will hinder, and in some cases impede productivity. This impact on productivity dramatically increases the company's IT costs.

The most productive use of time within a business is activity related to driving and retaining revenue. Generating revenue, however, is typically the most difficult task to accomplish. This is why many businesses look to outsource other tasks that are not directly related to revenue, such as IT. Companies that spend time on IT tasks have a lower level of productivity than companies that outsource their IT support. Lower productivity results in higher costs and reduced revenue. Proactive, outsourced IT service providers can always provide a lower cost service than reactive or in-house models.

Each and every time you expend resources on IT related issues, it is costing your business more money as employees become unproductive. A proactive model where your IT service provider is preventing issues, increases productivity and reduces a company's overall IT costs.

Is this occurring in your business?

• Your staff complain about the speed of your computer systems;
• You have concerns regarding how your data is being protected;
• You do not have peace of mind with your system;
• You do not have a clear understanding of the costs associated with technology;
• You do not know how your system or cost structure compares to companies of similar size and complexity;
• Your systems are unstable;
• Building your own IT department is too costly.

Outsourcing is a concept that many small and medium sized businesses are familiar with as they search for ways to reduce costs and/or to hire expertise they don't employ in their business. Benefits of IT outsourcing include:

• Gaining peace of mind knowing your network is stable and secure. Anticipating and resolving IT problems before they occur;
• Creating more productive employees through proper technology management;
• Lowering the costs associated with risk in your organization;
• Empowering your business with an IT strategy that combines knowledge in managed network services with the tools you need to guide your business towards success;
• Making efficient use of resources by letting experts take care of your IT needs;
• Saving money by hiring only the IT resources you need and avoid spiking IT costs with a fixed fee solution.
