How much is IT costing you?
To stay competitive, businesses must find ways to contain and control operating expenses. The first step to controlling your IT expenses is knowing your TCO or Total Cost of Ownership.
TCO is much more than just how much you spend on hardware and software every year. The TCO also includes how much it costs to maintain your equipment, update and manage your systems and even spend time on the phone with vendors.
In may seem unlikely, but often times spending less on your computer hardware, software and maintenance can cost more. That is because the TCO takes into account the cost of downtime, lost productivity and lost revenue as well.
