BusinessDictionary.com defines a hidden cost as “Expense not normally included in the purchase price of an equipment or machine, such as for maintenance, supplies, training, and upgrades” and typical computer service is wracked with them.
Many of these expenses can pop-up in the form of unexpected computer problems that lead to major downtime. And, as many businesses know, time is money. If your systems are down, that means you are paying your whole staff for an entire day with little productivity.
That is why many small businesses are switching to a fixed-price model of I.T. services where the focus is on preventing issues from happening, rather than reacting to the problems as they come up.
While paying by the hour may seem cheaper on the surface, the cost of being down far out-weighs the potentially higher investment of preventing issues.
