Computer Maintenance - How Computer Performance Effects It Has In The Work Place
July 9th, 2009
Many of you know that I am now managing business development for Geeks For Less. My experience with Geeks For Less as well as my own personal experience has forced me to look in the mirror. It’s time for me to upgrade my system for many reasons.
Yeah, it would be less frustrating for my windows to snap up while working with high end web design and development programs, photo and illustration programs meanwhile social networking on Facebook and working with my email client to communicate via the internet—all at the same time. But performance is more than a luxury. It’s an investment that you and your clients will appreciate collectively.
I typically work on fixed quotes when providing web design and internet marketing oriented services, because most people prefer to know what they are going to pay. Yeah, I base those quotes on an hourly rate, but the less efficient I am the less I make per hour. Well, I am self employed. But if you are an employer, you should listen to what I am saying. Regardless of your type of business, production is costing instead of making you money by not keeping your systems upgraded, and the more employees you have using insufficient systems the more money you are losing.
The good news is that you can invest in a little computer repair or maintenance, do not necessarily have to go and buy a new system for every employee in order to operate more efficiently and can have less frustration in the work place. A PC tuneup is a very small fraction of the price and will typically increase a system’s performance dramatically and can be completed within an hour. A good technician should know what I am speaking of and will most likely agree unless they have an agenda that differs from yours or are not as good as you think they are. There are bells and whistles that can be turned on and off, hard drives that can be defragmented, spyware and viruses detected, software installed or uninstalled and much more to help a computer run more efficiently.
So, if you are an employee and work on a slow computer, or you are an employer and know you haven’t addressed your technological standards in a while, I suggest looking at computer repair as a business investment as opposed to a cost. Mention it to your boss or make the investment yourself and start making more money. It makes sense and that’s all it does.
Geeks For Less is in Nashville, TN (615.202.1544), Knoxville, TN (865.805.3051) and soon will be coming to Buffalo, NY and Chattanooga, TN. For more information, please contact info@geeks-forless.com.
