The cost of a poorly managed IT system

Your IT systems exist to enhance productivity and streamline your business. If your systems are not optimised or are being used incorrectly, you won’t be able to take full advantage of the benefits that a properly managed IT system brings.

Customer impact

Downtime and an ineffective IT infrastructure damage more than just your team. The same consequences will be felt by your clients as well. You could experience loss of sales if your website goes down or your ordering process experiences an issue, resulting in a loss of profits and reputation. Your business will also suffer embarrassment by not being able to produce results or information on demand as expected by customers.

To manage customer requests, assist them with support inquiries, and ensure the systems they use are functioning correctly, you need reliable systems. Any downtime you have will affect how successfully you serve your clients, so a well-managed IT system is a must for your business.

Be proactive rather than reactive when it comes to planning IT

 

Loss of productivity

Any IT-related issue can lessen your team’s overall productivity, whether it be due to a lack of software updates, frequent internet disconnections, or general downtime that prohibit them from working. This directly translates into lost time, money, and increased frustration.

If your IT systems aren’t managed well, your company’s growth may be hampered, and you risk higher staff turnover. By understanding and optimising your IT systems, you will see a significant increase in productivity and higher employee engagement.

Higher Operating Costs

A poorly managed IT system will also end up costing your company a lot of money.

It will cost more money to repair hardware, losses from software or a network failure will be more expensive to recover from, and of course the cost of unproductive employee’s or interruption to trading resulting from downtime. In addition, if your software and hardware isn’t standardised, you run the risk of being over licensed or under licensed and employees not having the right tools to be able to undertake their work.

To avoid this, you should standardise your hardware, software, and system configurations to reduce complexity; protect your IT systems against cybercriminals by having effective security measures in place; and outsource key IT functions such as technical support, data back-up and security.

How to manage your IT system effectively

By paying closer attention and understanding your business’ IT requirements, you can resolve or pre-empt potential issues and keep your systems running smoothing and efficiently while optimising your IT spend.
