___________________________
In a world where technology does not stop and continues to be faster and improved, it does not take long to fall behind. Business owners would all agree that with the “right tools you can get the job done right.” This applies to any industry in all facets of a business. For example, in a building trade company, employees require the right tools and materials to complete a job correctly. No one tool is better than the other, but all work in unison to perform the job at hand. Your IT environment is no different, each piece of hardware has its place and affects how your IT systems operate. Your business may have the most up to date operating system and software on the market, but unless you have the updated hardware to support it, your systems will continue to have issues or failures as a result of poor or slow response times or inabilities to support the software, storage or graphic upgrades. This includes all hardware from desktops and monitors to storage, memory and even keyboards. What's more is that as technology continually improves with new methods for computer tasks such as storage and internet services, older models are often no longer compatible. You or someone you know may still own and use a computer with a floppy disk drive, (yes they still exist) but they have now become useless due to storage advancements improving so drastically over recent years with the introduction of CD’s, USB and external hard drives etc. |
Therefore, hardware is the key to your business IT success. Your computer hardware is the most easily identifiable and visible part of your IT but somewhere along the way we have lost sight of its importance in the IT environment. Too often an organisation only recognises a problem or poor productivity when there is a major failure or a complaint from staff rather than working proactively to remediate ongoing issues. In most cases businesses are simply better off replacing the hardware due to new computers running up to 80% faster than computers more than 5 years old and providing far greater efficiencies for users. What next? We all want IT hardware that suits the business and works for us, not the other way around. Contact an Andor Account Manager today on 02 4941 0922 to find out how to update your hardware.

PRODUCT FOCUS FOR THE MONTH
Andor can provide you with complete IT products for your business:
Desktop or Laptop:
When it comes to deciding which of these to purchase, it is important to keep in mind the functionality, portability and power you require. If your staff require a desktop because they need extra power and only work on their desks, then desktops are a perfect fit. Whereas, if your staff are constantly away from their desks or out on the road meeting with clients or partners or have the option to work from home, laptops and notebooks are the best option.
Printers and Copiers:
Before purchasing a new printer/copier, consider what the key uses of the machine will be. Will you need to print colour, double sided and have multiple paper trays to minimise time taken to change paper? Does it need to provide photocopying, faxing and email capabilities? The key thing to consider before a new purchase is, will this new piece of hardware meet your business needs now and in the future? This is very important to mull over to ensure that you do not get stuck with a huge printing machine that performs like a full blown factory, but purchase a machine that actually suits your key business needs. An option for many businesses is to purchase a multi-purpose machine that encompasses all functions including copying, printing, faxing and scanning and does not require you to purchase multiple machines that perform individual tasks.
Servers:
Servers are a very important part of your IT environment and should not be treated lightly. Generally speaking there are three levels of servers: entry level, mid-range and high range. When it comes to choosing what size server is required for your business, you need to be aware of the varying costs aligning with the size and capacity. Please keep in mind that the bigger and more expensive you go the more perks you get, like much higher levels of memory, better warranties and dual processors etc. However, like the desktop situation, ensure that when you are looking at purchasing a server that it will meet your current and ongoing data and storage growth. Also, be cautious of the varying brands with regards to compatibility, parts and warranties as they do differ.
Mobile Devices:
Mobile devices can be a great addition to your business. These devices can provide your business with remote access to emails, data and internal documents as well as access to your servers. When purchasing these devices it is important to purchase devices based on their usability, availability of data and the required functions necessary for business practice. For example, purchase notebooks or smart phones that have enough memory but are not too bulky or inconvenient to hold or use away from the traditional work environment.
Key tips:
1. Make sure that the equipment you buy is suitable for a business network environment.
2. If you don’t have an IT professional in-house, when you buy new equipment, arrange for the vendor to install it.
3. To reduce complexity of multiple brands and styles of hardware, consider limiting your purchases to a few brands and types of equipment that you trust and are familiar with.
