Small firms wasting £7bn on unnecessary IT equipment
Small businesses in the UK are wasting more than £7bn on unnecessary IT equipment, according to research by online storage specialist humyo.com.
Ignorance of new technologies is driving many small firms to invest in traditional server technology in the often false belief that it offers the cheapest and most secure access to business files.
Few companies are examining the true cost of server computing or looking at alternative options, such as cloud computing, which could save their businesses around £1,500 a year.
"Just a few phone calls or some limited web research can give you an idea of the upfront cost of buying a new server but not enough companies are aware of the longer term investment required," said Dan Conlon, founder of humyo.com.
"We have developed an equation to enable small businesses to work out the true cost of server-based computing in order to help them weigh up whether it is the best, most cost effective option for them."
