How to maximise every dollar invested in computer technology Do you know all your computer costs? In addition to direct costs (purchase of computers and software, personnel assigned to computer operations), you must also include indirect costs, which are more unpredictable, intangible and often more damaging. We’re talking here about: - Non-productivity of your personnel due to wait time when computer problems arise
- Unavailability of the network due to breakdown or damage
- The user’s inefficiency with tools and software due to a lack of training
Even though computer technologies have undeniably contributed to an increase and improvement in productivity for small and medium-sized businesses over the last fifteen years, these other costs should not be underestimated. When taken together, they can add up to a considerable sum. The objective is not to systematically reduce computer expenses, but rather to reduce costs that are unnecessary or provide very little added value for the company, with the goal of investing these sums in value-added solutions and services.
