Credit Crunch? What Credit Crunch By Angela Hart, Client Services Manager, Supreme Systems
Despite the downturn, this is definitely not the time for SMEs to be cutting down on their IT spend.
Credit crunch or not, small businesses need to embrace technologies that encourage better efficiencies and enhance productivity. IT dependant businesses need to ensure they have in place the right support to ensure their business is able to ride the current econmic storm. Reducing your IT spend may not necessarily be the right reaction to the current economic climate and in many cases such a reaction can be catastrophic for some businesses leaving them vulnerable.
At Supreme Systems we believe that SMEs simply need to ensure they are making sensible IT choices to ensure they are getting value for money on their IT spend. For example:
1. Rethink your decision to recruit an in-house IT specialist. A typical SME with 20 users could spend up to £25,000 per annum on recruiting an in-house IT specialist. Our team of engineers can provide IT services and support for a fraction of this cost - circa £10,000 per annum. In addition to this huge saving you are tapping into a wealth of IT expertise that no single in-house IT expert can possibly have. You also avoid administrative headaches such as PAYE obligations, contractual obligations etc.
2. IT need not be expensive. Try to match your requirements with packages to suit your needs. At Supreme Systems we have different support packages designed to suit your environment and your pocket. You can see an overview of our support packages here.
3. Go as you please and Pay As You go. Never go without an IT fall back. Pick a company you can trust to provide you with support services when you please. Our competitively priced Pay As You Go bundles will give you the peace of mind of having an on call IT specialist with no additional commitment.
4. Spend, Spend, Spend. The old adage "spend money to make money" applies here although we would advise businesses to spend money on IT intelligently. Spend more on boosting your internet presence. Redesign your website and implement search engine optimisation campaigns to drive traffic to your website; spend money on introducing processes designed to improve productivity such as introducing CRM packages to help you get the most out of your customer data; consider having your own bespoke software created rather than buying software off the shelf (a common misconception is that off the shelf is cheaper than bespoke - not true!)
Right now at Supreme Systems we have various special offers designed to suit every budget. From money-off offers for website design; discounts off our Pay As You Go packages and free systems audits, we will ensure that together we can beat the credit crunch.
