But before you finalise those plans I would strongly advise you to do an audit of your recurring IT, Telecommunications and Maintenance Charges.

We have already come across several situations where companies have reduced their staff and have not reduced their corresponding recurring costs.

  • Are you in a contract with your Mobile Phone provider that is designed for 10 phones and now only have 5 reps on the road.
  • Are you paying annual Software Licenses, Software Maintenance and Hardware Maintenance for systems are no longer used.
  • Do you still need the highest speed Broadband Connection when you have half the number of people using the connection?

So before you finalise those budgets take the time to review those costs, and if you feel that you are out of your depth, then talk to your Computer  Services provider and they can conduct a Business Technology or IT Audit for you.
