For years, businesses have been absorbing the cost of putting a PC on every desk, giving employees a machine with moving parts that can break and software that can be corrupted not to mention allowing each employee to act like their own administrator downloading or installing things that can be very damaging to a business. Consequently, PCs are unreliable, difficult to secure, and expensive to maintain in a business environment.
Although the initial price of the PC remains low at $600 - $800, Gartner estimates the average TCO "Total Cost of Ownership" at $4500.00 over a 3-4 year lifespan. Larger companies hire dedicated staff to deal with these problems but what does the small business owner do?
Small businesses cannot afford a large IT staff or expensive consultants to keep their systems working but they also cannot afford to have their computer systems fail. Caught between a rock and a hard place, many small businesses just muddle through with substandard performance, inadequate security and the ongoing threat of a catastrophic loss of data.
There is a better way!
