EOFY Reflections

Posted on June 15, 2015

With the end of financial year coming up – it is a good time to reflect on how much downtime you have had over the past 12 months. A lot of people don’t take into account the total cost.

How much has it cost you and your business in;

• downtime
• lost sales,
• productivity,
• reputation,
• wages (people standing around waiting for things to be fixed) and
• mental health

– SO COUNT THE ENTIRE COST OF DOWNTIME!  This includes your time!

While it can’t be totally eliminated a wise investment in IT,  not just hardware and software but in services also, can dramatically reduce downtime and the total costs involved.

I read the following today –

“IT is a core competency, not an expense to be minimised”

IT is definitely a core competency in most businesses today and it usually is false economy to minimise expenses in this area.  Business owners need to see spending in IT as a wise investment and not just a cost of doing business.
