Being Proactive...

Being proactive; what will it save you? VS: Being reactive; what will it cost you?

As small business owners we often say, “If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it.” But when it comes to technology service when something breaks your business can hemorrhage money. Being proactive in managing your business’s technologies will save you time while increasing staff productivity and over all profits.

Many small business owners have a hard time wrapping their minds around the approach of managed IT services. Unfortunately, they too often wait until there is a disaster before they reach out for help from their “computer guy.” This tactic will most certainly leave them with a much higher cost to get things back up and running. For example, a $1 million company will lose nearly $500 per hour for every hour during a technology outage. You can add to this the hourly rate from the “computer guy.” And, if he isn’t qualified to do the work you wait longer and longer for a resolution. As they say, “time is money.”

Another common mistake business owners make is to designate their most computer knowledgeable staff member as their IT go-to person. This only takes them away from their other duties and puts the business at risk from a poorly maintained and unstable network.
