Those are certainly issues you have to look out for if you aren’t working with a reputable technology partner, but there is actually another hidden IT cost that’s a lot more prevalent: chronic issues that slow down you and your employees as you go about your work.
There are literally hundreds of issues that could fall under this category, but some of the most common include:
- Slow or inconsistent wireless Internet connections
- Hardware failures and glitches that result in lost files
- Spyware and viruses that slow down your computer’s performance or take you to unintended web destinations
- Missing, changed, or incorrect passwords and registration information that prevent you from using the tools you need
We could go on and on, but the point is that we see clients struggle with these kinds of nagging issues day after day, when they should be attending to other work or projects.
Because the delays tend to be short, they never actually get dealt with or show up on a profit or loss statement. Make no mistake, though, they can easily add up. What is a few hours of your time worth? What about the wages and salaries you are paying to your staff for those hours?
Now is a great time to stop paying hidden IT costs for things that don’t work the way they’re supposed to.
