It’s a new year, and with that comes new year’s resolutions. You probably have personal resolutions, such as to eat healthier or spend more time reading. Maybe you have goals relating to your business, too, such as increasing profit by 3% in the first quarter. But what about resolving to update your employees’ old, slow computers and investing in a new, high-capacity server? Here are five reasons why now is the time to reevaluate the hardware and software that keeps your business up and running.
If your employees are spending more time trying to load a document than writing it, it’s time for new computers. Hard drives that can’t be relied on are also risky business, because missing data can cause an upset. A server that is nearly full makes it difficult to save files accurately. Kota can determine the hardware and software you need to provide to help your employees work efficiently.
Hackers, viruses, malware, oh my! Older tech is more susceptible to threats. As software ages, there becomes less and less support to keep it safe. Upgrading your software allows the latest security to be installed. Incorporating data protection and backup helps decrease the impact of a potential attack as well.
Kota makes it as cost-efficient as possible for your business to invest in new hardware and software. Still, upgrading your equipment can be costly. But if you continuously pay for repairs on old tech, it’s more than likely worth the investment to upgrade now, rather than to keep paying for temporary fixes.
Maybe you’ve hired more people, possibly even had to downsize, or, perhaps your business now incorporates hybrid work, with some employees working from home part- or even full-time. If you have computers with unused Microsoft Windows accounts sitting on empty desks, it’s time to reconsider your options. Or, you may need to upgrade your cloud software and invest in laptops if you have remote staff. No matter business size, Kota can analyze and recommend upgrades.
Instead of going to in-person meetings, Zoom virtual meetings have taken over the office space. Employees need access to computers with cameras and microphones, and conference rooms with large TVs to host group meetings. Not only can Kota recommend the computers and TVs, but we can also install the audio and video technology.
If you resonated with any of the above five reasons, it’s time to contact Kota Tech. We will evaluate your business’s current hardware and software situation. Then, we’ll recommend and work with you to upgrade your equipment. Start 2023 by being efficient, with growth in mind!
