Older technology is typically more expensive to run, and after a while, it's cheaper to simply buy a new desktop than it is to continue pouring money into something that always seems broken. It's a great time to buy workstations, and if things are tight you can even buy refurbished desktops to keep costs low. ## Enforce Energy Efficiency If you reduce the amount of energy your technology uses each day, your utility bill from the electric company will decrease as well. Switching to LCD monitors (if you are still using old CRT dinosaurs), and enforcing company-wide policies to turn off monitors or put workstations to sleep at night can make a big difference. ## Stop Dealing with Vendors You hired your employees to work, not sit on the phone with a PC manufacturer because your hard drive crashed. Businesses waste money by paying employees to go around in circles with vendor tech support all the time. IT firms like COMPANYNAME build relationships with vendors and are able to get things done faster. This means issues get resolved quickly and your employees don't need to deal with less-than-helpful support. ## Stop Paying your Phone Bill Yes, you heard us right. Cease paying your phone company by switching over to a VoIP solution instead. Small businesses save up to 80% on their telephone communication expenses, so the investment pays for itself quickly. Many VoIP systems allow your users to take their phone and use it anywhere, giving you increased flexibility and functionality. ## Get Proactive Monitoring and Maintenance Nearly all day-to-day IT issues can be completely prevented with just a little bit of maintenance. COMPANYNAME offers these services to our clients, reducing the amount of downtime they experience. Traditional computer support only fix computer issues when they arise. COMPANYNAME provides proactive monitoring and maintenance to ensure fewer issues plague your business.
