Managed Operations

Managed Operations WILL Save YOU Money!

Through education, Managed Operations work with their customers to refine the IT spending.  Some of the more common areas where growing businesses can experience out of control costs are:

• Highly paid IT staff *
  1. 401K
  2. Benefits
  3. Salary
  4. Office Equipment and Space
• Uninformed Infrastructure purchases
• Unnecessary Software costs
  1. Too many software licenses
  2. Multiple versions of software applications on maintenance
  3. Multiple applications performing the same tasks
  4. Inappropriate application versions (professional vs. standard)

By taking control of the most common IT spends additional funds can be made available to drive productivity and grow your business.

A skilled IT professional can demand a significant salary.  Along with the salary comes soft cost.

Soft costs can be easy to loose track of since they are not day-to-day purchases or easily reconcilable. 

Example: The average member of staff well trained and certified will demand a salary in excess of $60,000 (sixty thousand dollars) per year.  For a specialized, or experienced IT professional the salary alone could reach $75,000 (seventy five thousand) a year.

In addition to a significant salary, other financial considerations may be:

• Quarterly or Annual Bonuses
• Dental Insurance
• Vision Insurance
• 401 or TDSP Savings
• Office Equipment and Space
• Sick/Vacation Pay
• Other miscellaneous expenses – travel expenses
• Education / Certifications

The resulting HR package can exceed a staggering $130,000!!!

The cost SAVINGS associated with outsourcing your IT responsibilities to Managed Operations are clearly visible.

Making the wrong decision with IT will have a heavy penalty. 

Some of the more typical “wrong decisions” are as follows:

• Purchasing Inappropriate Hardware for a Short-term Fix

  • Short-term hardware solutions always result in more expense later. What appears to be a “good deal” today usually means a bad deal, strategically for you, the customer

• Purchasing Inappropriate Software

  • Software companies will not take software back once it has been opened, resulting in additional software expense

• Uninformed Software Purchases

  • Not fully understanding system software requirements can result in additional hardware cost just to make your new software work correctly

• Self Help Problem Diagnosis and Remedies

  • Pushing the wrong button when technical problems arise can lead to critical data loss. Significant time and money will be spent trying to fix the problem and recover the data (if it can be recovered)

• Retaining Old IT Infrastructure Assets

  • Aged systems are a false economy.  With older hardware the risk of server outages increases significantly.  Additionally out of date IT Hardware and Software will impact the productivity of your business

• Non-Productive Personnel

  • Problematic or unstable systems will result in many wasted man-hours.  Idle staff results in lost revenue and increased cost

•  Incorrect Software Installation

  • Unskilled or frustrated staff can result in poorly implemented software applications.  This can have a knock on effect upon other systems within your company
