Maintain your hardware

Have you ever been driving your vehicle down the road when a warning light illuminates on the instrument panel saying “Check Engine”? What is your initial reaction? Do you panic and take it to the repair shop or do you say “Ah…it’ll be alright.”

Well…your “Check Engine” light may have never come on if you had been taking your vehicle in for regularly scheduled maintenance.

Oh sure, you may get lucky and drive another 5,000 or 10,000 miles before you finally break down. On the other hand, your vehicle may not even start the next morning, leaving you stranded. Then you have to call the repair shop, get a tow truck to take the vehicle to the shop, call your office to let them know what happened and possibly even be put in a position to where you have to call all of your appointments to reschedule.

Business waits for no one or anything else for that matter. Business can be a ruthless monster that devours everything in it’s path whether you want it to or not…so what do most people do? They keep their vehicles running smoothly by taking it in for oil changes and regularly scheduled maintenance.

So why wouldn’t you do the same for your business computers and networking equipment? Computers and other networking equipment are nothing more than machines. Machines need to be maintained. If you ignore a piece of machinery long enough, it will fail.

However, literally millions of businesses continue to ignore the warning signs that their computer equipment sends them. The error messages come and go until one day, your PC simply won’t work anymore. The result is the same as if it would be with your vehicle. You call a repairman, an appointment is scheduled and more times than not, you get your PC back running like a top some week or so later. Following the repair, you also get a repair bill that could be mistaken for a vehicle repair bill.

Have you ever stopped to think about how much that repair actually costs you? There are a few different factors to consider including, loss of productivity for your company, loss of employee productivity, loss or delay in receivables causing cash flow issues, delay in providing your deliverables…I could go on but I think you get the picture.

Of course I have taken a long time to get to the point which is, your computer equipment is machinery just like your vehicle that you drive. You MUST keep it tuned up and running efficiently in order to keep your downtime to a minimum.
