In January we wrote about\u00a0TBRs<\/a>\u00a0(Technology Business Reviews) and how they provide vital benefits to business. Almost half a year on and we\u2019re delighted to announce that the first round of\u00a0TBRs have proved highly successful and customer feedback has been wonderful.\u00a0Take up was high and we\u2019ll be providing these on a half-yearly basis.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

TBRs represent the consultative aspect of Net Primates IT\u00a0provision. We don\u2019t just want to provide you with IT equipment \u2013 we want to make sure you have exactly what you need to function effectively now and in the future.\u00a0You will be better able to make informed decisions and plan for different eventualities.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Being proactive with IT is always far more preferable to dealing with emergencies and consultancy is one way to ensure you are on top of IT. Emergencies\u00a0are\u00a0expensive,\u00a0disruptive and risk reputational damage; planning, on the other hand, makes emergencies far less frequent, spreads costs,\u00a0and allows you to maintain consistent customer service.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

IT does not stand still\u00a0<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As we all know, IT is arguably one of the fastest moving industries in the world. Hardware and software are constantly updating and with this comes increased customer expectation. Speed and efficiency\u00a0are\u00a0demanded, and having up-to-date kit helps your business meet and beat expectations. Conversely, sluggish IT\u00a0can make your business appear sluggish.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Consultancy does not = expense\u00a0<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We\u2019re not saying that IT isn\u2019t a business expense \u2013 of course it is, but using IT consultancy does not necessarily equate to additional expense, in fact it can save you money.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    \r\n
  • Keeping a keen eye on warranty dates ensures IT kit is always maintained. Kit that\u2019s fallen out of warranty could prove costly to repair\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\r\n
  • IT Security will be up to date,\u00a0greatly reducing the\u00a0risk of an expensive cyberattack\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\r\n
  • Planning for staff changes and work patterns ensures that the right kit is updated\u00a0<\/li>\r\n
  • Emergency purchases can prove unnecessarily costly, especially if availability is low\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    As the old\u00a0wives’\u00a0tale goes, \u2018a stitch in time saves 9\u2019, and\u00a0we want you to have a business that functions seamlessly.\u00a0Continuing\u00a0with the sayings, look after your IT, and your IT will look after you (and we\u2019ll be there to support you all the way).\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
