TWO – Take Inventory

Option 2: We can do it for you! We can scan your network to to gather this information. 

THREE – Determine Upgrade Vs. Replacement 

Just like old smartphones that get slower with every upgrade, moving to new operating system  may cause older servers to slow down enough that they hinder workflow within your practice. Microsoft’s published minimal specifications for upgrading  could be far less than what is required to run your business software.  

Consider All Costs. Windows 10 is currently available from Microsoft for $199.99. Be sure to factor in at least two hours of labor costs to upgrade a single machine to Windows 10. Replacing a PC can cost $800-$1,000, depending on a number of factors. Don’t forget labor costs for new PC installation. 

FOUR – Evaluate Replacement Strategies

1. Purchase New Computers
   1. Advantages: Could be the lowest overall cost
   2. Disadvantages: Capital outlay, possibly significant with a large number of PC’s; Assumes responsibility/cost of installation; Assumes responsibility of handling any warranty claims; Extended business workflow interruption with warranty claim
2. IT+PC
   1. TECH SUPPORT + COMPUTER HARDWARE = IDEAL SOLUTION 

   2. Your Exit From The Computer Business 

      It’s a chore to keep up with an arsenal of aging workstations. Sooner or later some will need new video cards or hard drives. Sooner or later each and every one will need to be replaced. It’s not simple, it’s not cheap. Worse, when a workstation isn’t working your staff can’t work either. Let us handle this job for you, and focus your time on more important parts of the business.
