Time To Upgrade Your Computer Network? Here Are 3 Things You Need To Know Before You Do…

It’s that time of year again when most businesses are scrambling to make last-minute purchases to lighten the current year’s tax burden. One of the things many tax-savvy businesses do is purchase new office and computer equipment that will be needed within the next few months NOW so they can deduct the expense on the current year’s taxes (double-check with your tax advisor to be sure this applies to you!). But if you’re planning to upgrade your server, here are three things you might want to look into before making any decisions:

  1. Cloud Computing. Cloud technologies are far beyond “hype.” They offer real, tangible benefits to businesses, including improved disaster recovery and backup, easier access to data remotely, reduced IT complexities, fewer problems and, in many cases, a cost savings because you don’t have to buy a server and keep it in your office closet anymore. Cloud is definitely not a right fit for everyone, but you should at least consider this as one of your options.
  2. HaaS. In case you haven’t heard enough acronyms in the IT industry, let me give you one more: HaaS, or “hardware as a service.” Simply, HaaS is an option to “rent” hardware on a low monthly basis instead of purchasing it outright. This eliminates the hefty cash drain for a network upgrade and allows you to pay for hardware as a service. It also puts the burden of repair and replacement on the shoulders of your IT company (us) to keep your equipment up and running. You do end up paying more in the long run (as you would if you leased a car or bought a house on payments), but the ease on cash flow makes this a better option for some people.

“I feel very comfortable having Progressive monitoring our systems and handling all our IT needs.”

We have been using Progressive for about 10 years now. The reason we have stayed with them is because they handle any problems we might have in a professional manner and always get things resolved quickly. Many time they have come to us to suggest improvements before we have any problems and to make our system perform better. I feel very comfortable having them monitoring our systems and handling all our IT needs.  This is one area that I do not have to spend any of my time worrying about and, considering the fact that I am not an IT expert, that gives me a great amount of comfort.

“The trouble with paying less for the small guy is he isn’t always available, has limited backup and may not be up on the latest developments.”

You can always find someone for less.  We have been through at least 3 IT companies over the years, many of whom were small operations.  The trouble with paying less for the small guy is he isn’t always available, has limited backup and may not be up on the latest developments.  We were paying much less before and do not regret the change to Progressive Computing.
