When you are ready to set up your new business office..

Starting up a new business can be sometimes overwhelming. There are many things that you need to set up and it is easy to fall for convenience of buying things from one source instead of going to the source. However, when you compare programs offered and signup prices, as well the cost increases further down the road, you may notice how much more you will be charged in a long run. In some cases, the difference in prices is quite substantial and the savings could be used to purchase other, necessary things. Reversing such purchase, without losing data can be very costly and you are left unnecessarily overspending on software that you need to run your business for many years to come.

Just recently, we have had an opportunity to look at the comparison of pricing for email through MS Office, that one of our clients originally purchased through other source vs. what would be the cost of it if it was purchased straight from Microsoft. When comparing different products and including future price increase, the difference in cost would be enough to cover buying proper, MiKSMedia managed antivirus for his computer. As we all know, one cannot run a computer without proper data protection, regardless of working on the cloud or keeping one’s data on a computer. Switching the email hosting to Microsoft is too involved and it would cost the client too much money to bother at this point. But should he ever decide to not to deal with the other source anymore, he will have to switch hosting and migrate his email to Microsoft He will have to spend hundreds of dollars for work involved in the whole procedure and his email will be down for 24 to 48 hours, potentially affecting his business.

In conclusion, before you go and be seduced by a “great” IT-related “deal”, you may want to do a bit of comparison shopping or save time and money and give your friendly neighborhood IT company a call.
