IT Support: How a Conflict of Interest Affects IT Expenses

it support how a conflict of interest affects it expenses

 

IT support teams understand the technology

There’s often a conflict of interest when it comes to IT-related purchases. In the end, it all comes down to who’s making the decision and what he or she values to be the most important. Sometimes this isn’t the best option for the entire company.

IT spending should be left to IT teams. They understand the technology best and know exactly what the business needs to upgrade in. Their decisions should be verified by the accounting team, of course. It’s a system of checks and balances that keeps expenses under control.

In some companies, the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) is in charge of IT spending. This is presumably because they want to decide which marketing software the company uses. A recent CIO article explains how this scenario can lead to a spending catastrophe:

“When CMOs take control of IT spending, then they may well move fast and break something. With budgetary responsibility comes the responsibility for things like security, scalability and performance. The first time the systems go crashing down because they can’t scale sufficiently, or for whatever reason, the CMO is going to have to go looking for help from the CIO.”

If your business doesn’t have an IT team, don’t just put a random person in charge of IT expenses. Chances are they don’t know the equipment well enough to make a prudent financial decision.

If you need advice or consultation, consider getting in touch with an IT support team. They understand the technology and can tell your business what needs to be upgraded and what you should buy. If you already outsource your IT support, then make sure you contact them before making any major technology purchases. All of this is in the best interest of your business.

Take Advantage of Managed Services by AE Technology Group

how it support can help your business

What are Some of Managed Services Advantages?

With managed services from AE Technology Group, you can strategically improve operations and cut expenses for your business, by outsourcing the day-to-day oversight of technical support, cloud computing, VoIP phone systems, and disaster recovery. These aspects of your business will be handled efficiently and professionally, while you are left to focus on other responsibilities.

Technical Support (IT)

Our team of remote technicians will be available to support you at all times. That’s right, 24/7/365. Whether it’s mobile phones, televisions, computers, software products, or any other technology, and no matter if you’re working late into the night or arriving early in those wee hours of the morning, help is just a phone call away. Reliability is the standard for our computer network support services.

Cloud Computing

The days of accommodating your own data center, using up valuable energy, space, man-power, and capital, all for a single app, are soon to be long gone. With cloud computing managed by AE Technology, your business can utilize a shared data center and be connected within a few days or weeks. It works similarly to a utility service, allowing you to easily plug in and get started. You can log in and use many apps, including custom ones, without purchasing any hardware or software. Instead of purchases, there will be a monthly subscription fee, and you’ll pay for no more or less than what you need.

Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP)

VoIP allows your business to use its existing IP (internet) network for real-time voice communication with the same quality of service as a conventional phone line. This technology makes wide-ranging, including international, business communications more cost effective and easier to scale. Don’t let communication costs be a barrier against the growth of your business. Stay connected without breaking the bank with the help of AE Technology Group.

Diaster Recovery

Our monthly service packages are two-fold. With data backup protection, your data is secured against hacking, theft, and system failure. With automatic off-site backup, copies of your backup files are stored at a secure facility, to be regained in the extreme event that the physical location of your business is rendered unsalvageable following a disaster. This kind of foresight can truly turn an emergency into an inconvenience, allowing your business to function in spite of unfortunate circumstances.
