For ALL Those Who Want to Save Money
by saving pennies to stomp on $100 bills:
The events below are true... names have been changed only to meet the Privacy Act ...A computer is at the main desk. At least 10 times a week one or more employees have to wait to use the computer. Employees in this location are in the $10 per hour range. 15 minutes wasted 5 times a week for one year buys a super "killer" computer from ISC.
A inadequate internet surfing computer (generally anything less that 800 MHz, 128 MB of RAM and at least an 8 GB hard drive for speed) is in a part time location and surfs about 20 pages per day average. Each page take 5 seconds longer per page than it should. Because the computer is so inadequate is locks up about once per day and takes 5 minutes longer than a better computer to completely cycle. At this rate the employees waste $324 of company money per year. (Not counting all the time wasted commenting to other employees about how the company does want to give them adequate equipment.) This company was offered a used computer upgrade for $125 including labor and they didn't take it!
About 4 employees use the fax machine about 5 times a day. It take about 10 minute round trip to go to the fax machine and back to thier offices. Employees in this area are $8-12 per hour wage group. The 4+ employees waste about 3 hours per day. Or in one month pays for as ISC Fax server that allows the employees to fax from their computers and still do other things with out the interruptions and cuts down on the chat time at the fax machine too.
A company has multiple employees at work surfing porn websites. If some "little old lady" sees this they will lose at least a $100,000 in business by the end of the day. This company has refuse twice to have us install our Firewall content Filtering Server to remove that problem.
A company recieves 200 pieces of SPAM a day in 3 email accounts which cost them $5265 per year in wasted company wages. They refused to have us install our Firewall content Filtering Server which in their case saves them roughly $4000 per year.
A company had some 5 year old hubs that had burnt ports and a lot of dead cables plugged in the system. We recommended to replace them and do some simple rewiring. They didn't and later an employee of the company took the Accounting Dept. down for 4 days and the rest of the business for 1 day. Then they paid to have the rewiring and new network switches installed anyway... but now it was an emergency vs. maintenance.
A company didn't want us to call Veritas to figure out why the software didn't work for $65. But buying a new backup system for $600 was the solution.
