Use Technology Like a Real Business

There's a reason why business technology is categorized differently than consumer technology. For example, nobody in their right mind has a copy machine the size of a Smart Car sitting in the home office. More is demanded from business technology, which is why you need a professional partner to assist you with your professional technology!

There's More to Business Technology
This business/consumer distinction is clearly seen when it comes to purchasing new technology. Whereas the mild-mannered consumer will casually browse the isle of their favorite electronics retail store and shoot the breeze with a sales representative, technology shopping for a business owner is much different. It often involves being inundated with catalogues and sales calls from major vendors, and there's much more money on the line. For many business owners, purchasing new technology for their company is a pain point because they're not technology experts. Business owners simply don't have adequate time to research the best buy, therefore, it's common for them to second guess their purchases.

A great example of this is with workstations. Some users may use the term "workstations" and "personal computers" (PC) interchangeably, but technically, workstations are heftier pieces of equipment designed for the heavier workloads of businesses. Workstations come equipped with more memory, more CPU, and more power. Workstations are optimized for networking, whereas home computers typically aren't connected to an intranet. PCs are designed with the casual computer user in mind, and your business deserves something better.

This isn't to say that a PC user can't max out their machine and make it more powerful than a workstation. Instead, we're referring to the purchasing of computers. Shopping for a workstation vs. shopping for a PC are two different experiences. A business owner that shops for computers will often buy their workstations in bulk and refresh multiple workstations with a single swipe of their corporate credit card, which is different than how a consumer buys their PCs, one at a time.

The Need to Plan Your Business Technology Purchases
The advantage of buying business equipment in bulk is that the purchases can be budgeted around. Purchasing new technology works best for businesses when they have a carefully planned IT roadmap. This is where buying new hardware and refreshing old hardware is carefully mapped out. Planning technology purchases allows companies to get the most use out of their equipment, as well as update at key times whenever new solutions are released that provide their business an advantage.
