What Does IT Take to Support the Technology for Your Business

Thursday, July 5th, 2012

Most  companies today depend on technology to survive and most people make use of a computing device at some point every single day to get the job done. In an ever more connected world, people work together using a combination of computers, tablets, and smartphones over local and global computer networks. It’s a fact that technology has changed the game for modern business, and the company with the best technology wins, allowing employees to work faster and more efficiently than competitors.

What’s the best way for you, the modern business owner, to manage the critical technology for your business? There are a couple of different options. First, you can let Joe, the ‘shade tree tech’ who works in HR, handle all of the technology issues. Second, you can hire a full time Information Technology Specialist. And third, you can hire a professional outside computer consulting company to handle the technology side of your business. Let’s briefly examine the pros and cons of all three options:
 

Enlisting a Non-Technical Employee

Pros:   Cons:
  • This is the lowest cost solution
 
  • Asking someone who is not technically inclined to do technical work can easily frustrate them, leading to an unhappy worker
  • Problems are often resolved the wrong way, what seems like a working fix at the time eventually leads to larger and more costly problems
  • Without detailed  knowledge of the latest trends in the technology industry, these types of workers are unable to provide good input on hardware or software upgrades that can help your business run faster to remain competitive
  • Smaller jobs may be completed quickly, such as clearing a jammed printer, but projects that exceed this workers computer experience will take five to ten times longer to resolve than the time it would take a trained professional to do the same
  • They are unable to perform their main job functions while messing around with technical issues

 
Hiring a Full-Time Technology Worker

Pros:   Cons:
  • You usually receive a high level of technical support
  • Your business can stay abreast of new changes in technology to help remain competitive
 
  • This solution costs the most to sustain, since technology employees are specialized and annual wages to retain them are high
  • For most small businesses under twenty employees, your technical worker will not have enough work to justify a full days salary
  • Without someone already on staff with a background in technology, finding and hiring the right candidates for the job can become difficult and time consuming
  • If this worker leaves unexpectedly, they can leave your business in a very tough spot

 
Hiring to a Computer Consulting Company

Pros:   Cons:
  • This solution costs significantly less than a full-time employee, for as little as $3,800 per year you can keep your technology infrastructure running smoothly
  • You don’t have the overhead associated with employing or managing a full-time worker
  • The level of technical support you receive is often higher than that of an in-house staff, since the computer professionals you will be dealing with often have many years of in-depth hands on experience
  • A technology consultant has access to resources on his team that you don’t get with a single employee, including sophisticated tools, training materials, and additional technology specialists who can assist them with projects when necessary
  • Even when employees change, your IT infrastructure is safe
  • Your business remains highly competitive, as you’re dealing with IT professionals who work with dozens of businesses each year and know about all of the latest productivity enhancing hardware and software solutions available
  • Their up to date training includes many of the latest mobile apps that can help mobilize your workforce via smartphones, tablets, and the cloud
 
  • Finding a reliable company can be difficult

For most small to medium size offices the choice between a non-technical employee, a full-time technical employee, or a technology consulting firm should be a no-brainer. At going rates an outside IT firm can save your business $44,000 per year in operating expense vs. hiring a full-time employee. An outside IT company also provides the security of knowing that your critical IT infrastructure is safely managed by trained professionals.  

What would one day of down-time going to cost you? What would one week cost? It’s not necessary for you to find out! For a minimal investment, an IT support company like my PC Techs  can come into your Phoenix area office once a week or once a month and perform routine server maintenance, computer maintenance, and make sure the network and systems are running optimally.  Beyond that, your expert computer technicians can provide group training on new software, help upgrade existing software to newer and faster versions,  and provide consultation on how to spend technology budget in a way that provides the best bang for the buck.

Save time, save money, and increase productivity by hiring the experts at my PC Techs to maximize your uptime! Call (602) 456-0150 to schedule  a free consultation today.

Satellite A665 Poor Design

Friday, November 11th, 2011

I’m not a huge fan of Toshiba systems and this is just one of the reasons – design that hasn’t been thought out or tested very well. We just finished repairs on a Satellite A665 system that suffers from some interesting design flaws.

Here’s the system in question, innocent enough looking right?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the battery compartment. It’s hard to see in the picture, but there is only a small, thin strip of plastic between the top of the battery compartment and the internal workings of the buttons on the other side (see next image).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the other side of that compartment. Notice the volume up/down buttons and other system buttons in this area?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Long story short, if there is any debris in the battery compartment area or the battery is situated evenly slightly incorrect the volume up/down buttons can get locked into a state of constant pressing. This system, upon boot, was stuck in an audio up/down keystroke event that made it hard to type and produced a horrible buzzing noise in the operating system. We fixed this issue in our computer repair office here in Phoenix.
