Lean IT makes life easier, saves money and increases profits

Businesses are being shown that it is possible to realise savings of up to 30% on ongoing IT costs, something all of them needs in this economic climate.

Lean IT will have major impact on business profit margins

The IT landscape is changing fast. Traditional methods of running IT systems dating back to the easy credit pre-recession days are now far too expensive, over burdensome and out of date. Smaller businesses can work more efficiently, save money, increase flexibility and reduce risk, and this will have a major impact on profit margins.

Businesses will benefit from a reduction in the complexity of their networks to make them leaner, using the following initiatives:

Virtual, Consolidated Servers: Seriously reduce space, power and maintenance costs

‘Thin Client’ Computing: Save 50% on running costs, power consumption and maintenance by replacing traditional PCs with Thin Clients: computers that don’t do their own processing but rely on a central, often remote processor.Utilise Manufacturer Warranties: Maintain high end servers economically by utilising manufacturers’ warranties.

Remote only Support: Using remote support, IT issues can be rectified without the need for site visits, therefore driving down the cost of support cover.

Flexible licensing: Reduced licensing costs are possible by renting software applications rather than purchasing them.

VOIP and Least Cost Routing: If you pay BT directly for your phone calls then you could save over 70% on call charges by using Voice Over IP (VOIP) or Least Cost Routing.

If you want to make considerable savings on IT and increase your profits as a result, there are many things that can be done. Contact your IT support company without delay to find out more about a leaner form of IT.
