15 years working in the IT industry – we still notice that many start-up and small businesses are sceptical over the financial cost of implementing IT Support/Solutions.
With cloud computing and secure remote access becoming a growing trend – we can confirm that if an IT solution is carefully planned and tailored specifically to your business requirements, the cost will not only be affordable, but it will increase productivity, which in turn will generate more custom and eventually pay far greater than the solution itself.
Large organisations and enterprises know this to be fact. They have been through the initial starting stage, realised they needed computer technology, reaped the benefits and then thought “We should have done that from day one. Just imagine how far ahead we would have been”.
The organisations then begin to put a large chunk of money aside each and every year in an IT budget that maintains and upgrades their technology.
As a small business ourselves we completely understand that our clients within our target market (Start-up & Small Businesses) haven’t got large amounts of money to be thrown about so easily, but if they were to start off really small and their IT Support/Solutions was something that could be grown gradually along-side the business as it gains more revenue – then our confirmation above can be proven.
Let’s take an example using just one of our solutions:
We provide remote IT Support to our clients for £30 per month per computer. This works out at £0.13 per hour and enables us to take over computers remotely to resolve any software issues that arise.
Focusing on the time it would take our customers to research, learn all the technical jargon and then resolve an issue. Their time taken to do this could be used more productively and potentially bring in new customers, revenue streams for their business or even used strengthening their relationship with existing clients.
If the new customer(s) purchase or existing customer(s) reinvest in your business due to gained trust after being able to spend more time with them. The return of investment will clearly be seen.
So there you have it.. Start-up/small businesses with one employee or more – with the help of a trusting provider – can afford to implement at least one aspect of technology that’s cost effective and returns a high yield on their investment.
