Weigh Up Your Options

1. Weigh Up Your Options Businesses all have to ensure they plan properly before they open their doors in the morning. This means also having to consider, in addition to the importance of HR issues, cash flow, and expenditure. These days al businesses, right from the one-man show to bigger organisations and corporations use computers and various other IT-supported machines, devices, and services during the course of their operations. The computer, these days, takes on various forms, the desktop in any office is a well-known contributor to the firm’s assets and almost indispensable in the day-to-day operations of any business. Depending on the size of your business, and how much store your organisation sets by modern systems and processes, having to acquire desktops – and other computers and devices – can quickly drive up expenditure. Not only the initial procurement of these computers must be factored into your cost – ongoing maintenance too, breaks fix incidences, and other, regular monitoring as well. It makes sense that very quickly the business’s budget may suffer because of overspend. Bigger organisations, especially, develop cash flow problems if management does not take all steps to curtail unnecessary spending, also spending that could be better channeled elsewhere. So, these days many are turning to other options and they consider the possibility of renting, rather than owning their desktops and other devices as it makes better financial sense, it improves cash flow and helps with planning ahead. To own your desktops, or the office’s laptops, iPads, and other IT options may no longer be the answer. It becomes costly to acquire, costly to repair, and maintain – and to replace when new, more advanced options are introduced to the market. And, as IT changes and develops on an almost daily basis, it is a fact that companies have to adjust regularly to allow for newer computers and other devices. Buying these may place unnecessary financial strain on the business; therefore rentals as an alternative are more often considered. It makes sense, especially if the business owner rents the desktops at a fixed monthly rent and does not take responsibility for maintenance, for example. Therefore businesses are starting to look around more than ever before for those services that offer this option: you rent from them, you let them come to your premises and ask them to install and test these devices as you look on, they retain ownership – and responsibility for maintenance. This is an arrangement that suits so many businesses as it reduces responsibility, as it gives them greater control over their cash flow – and the option to enter into agreements with service providers to suit their requirements and needs. The best among these hiring services take it one step further: they often offer the client an option whereby computers, cell phones, tablets, and other devices are sold to them after the initial rentals period. Of course, this depends on circumstances and the profile of the lessor, the hiring company. The bigger, well known among these are often those that offer options such as a rent-to-buy agreement.
