Let's say you, a small business owner, are currently using a "by-the-hour" computer guy who only visits once or twice a month whenever there's a problem. You believe that you are just fine with the couple of hundred bucks you spend a month on break/fix service and don't need our basic  flat-fee maintenance plan.

But what if because your computer guy doesn't monitor the server, they never discover that the mirrored drive array is dead and you're only operating on a single drive. And what if, because they don't monitor, they don't discover that the backup hasn't run successfully in almost two months.

And what if that last hard drive dies?

Statistics show that your small business will be closing its doors within a year of any critical or catastrophic failure. Of course you’re going to try your best to save the business after a disaster, but the question is, will it be enough?

How much will you spend to rebuild the server? How many hours of lost productivity will your firm suffer in downtime... or as your staff tries to recreate the lost data instead of doing their regular work? How much money will be lost because your last month's invoicing is gone and you don't have the work records to recreate it? How many opportunities will be lost or relationships damaged because you lost all your contacts and schedules?

Does the cost of trying to save the business... if you actually pull it off... exceed what you would have spent on a maintenance plan that could have prevented this from ever happening in the first place?

What is the wiser purchase... spending as little as possible in computer maintenance just so you can watch the performance of your systems continuously degrade, watch the productivity of your staff slow to a crawl, suffer through ever increasing occurrences of system outages and downtime until one day - BOOM! - everything comes crashing down and a complete, expensive overhaul is needed...

Or is it simply wiser to pay a fair, steady price to have the systems that are the very lifeblood of the company properly monitored and maintained so that performance stays at peak levels, productivity remains constant and profits are maximized?

The value your business can receive with a proper maintenance plan can far exceed the cost of trying to save your company from going out of business. And a savvy business owner will recognize this. Tech Prognosis believes you are a savvy business owner and will make a wise investment in your business.
