How does regular IT maintenance cut company costs?
It might seem smart to only pay for IT maintenance when something goes wrong – but this is false economy. The cost of an emergency call-out to resolve a technical issue can be as much as five times more expensive than carrying out preventative maintenance, but these fees are just the tip of the issue.
Consider how much your company relies on technology to operate. When an issue arises and systems go down, you team can’t work, which means you’ll pay them to wait until the problem is fixed. While computers are inoperative, you won’t be able to access company data to make informed decisions, pull up customer information or help them with concerns online. A whole host of processes may be rendered impossible – from performing payroll and invoicing accurately to fulfilling orders for purchases.
Regular IT maintenance means that a trained engineer monitors your systems and devices for faults and fixes them before they impact how you operate. For a regular fixed amount you can plan for, your firm can access expert help and have all its equipment and systems working at optimal – instead of facing a huge bill out of the blue.
