Quick Tips for Replacing Technology

It's the time when businesses are finalizing their operating budgets for next year.  Planning for IT needs and equipment should be a part of this annual process.  In other words, don't wait until your equipment is obsolete and you can no longer order parts or worse; critical technology breaks down and interrupts your business operations for multiple days.

Here are some quick tips:

Assess Current and Future Needs - Build a three to-five-year plan, including employee and business requirements and compliance and productivity improvement needs.

Budget - Determine spending levels to support sufficient company needs and prioritize equipment replacement and devise backup plans in case revenue doesn't keep pace with expectations.

Performance - Can the equipment perform adequately now, with upgrades, or does it need to be replaced?

Installation and upgrades by a professional - Skilled consultants and employees make sure systems are properly set up, adding to improved operations and greater longevity.

Reputation - Ensure faster replacement of computers and systems that are customer- or client-facing. Consider the implications of failures or unprofessional appearance.

Disposal - Follow the rules for your state and consider extra costs and fees for planning purposes.
