As the business owner, are you the only person in your office who manages your company’s vendor relationships? Chances are that this is a huge responsibility, and one that consumes a significant portion of your time. While communicating with vendors is important for resolving issues or learning more about the service offered, it’s still a pain that you shouldn’t have to deal with.

One particular service offered by managed service providers is vendor management, and it will save you a huge amount of time in the long run.

Instead of you having to deal with this time-consuming process, vendor management allows your IT services provider to directly manage your business’s vendor relations. Basically, you can think of Britek Solutions as your single point of contact for all of your technology vendor needs. This is especially important for problems that might not be covered by your vendors. Britek Solutions can help your business communicate with vendors for technologies like:

• Printers
• Copy machines
• Telephone hardware
• Your Internet service provider

Ask yourself if you have the time to deal with communicating with vendors for all of your technology needs. This includes emailing them, making phone calls, and generally contacting them for everything you would need regarding your product or solution from them. Dealing with vendors in this sense can cost way more time than it’s worth, especially when you’re in the midst of finishing a project, which is one of the best arguments for vendor management services: you don’t lose time and you gain all of the benefits.

Consolidate Technology Vendors into One Phone Number
When it comes down to it, you’re wasting valuable time that could be spent working on other initiatives for your business. This could be a time-sensitive project or important operational procedures. Outsourcing vendor management frees up all of this time to devote to keeping your organization operational, consolidating all of your vendor communications into one point of contact.

It’s a known fact that technology doesn’t last forever. In fact, technology grows at such an astounding rate that some users often feel the need to replace their devices the second a bigger and better tech is launched. What if this unprecedented growth and increase in reliability become a hindrance to the sales of PC manufacturers?

If there’s one thing that our extremely technical society has evolved into, it’s one where technology is always striving to improve itself. This is especially important for businesses that are looking to maximize the return on investment they get from their hardware and software. Do you know where your organization concentrates its resources for tech upgrades?

If you’re in the market for a new computer, then you’re going to have to make a decision: Go with a traditional hard drive (HDD), or a solid state drive (SSD). While a computer equipped with an HDD will cost you less money, an SSD promises to faster speeds and a longer lifespan. This begs the question, is SSD worth the extra money?

As a business owner, your mind is always on your technology and whether or not you should upgrade it. But, how much of your old technology is still lying around the workplace? You might have rooms completely filled with old IT equipment. If this sounds like your office, don’t just throw away your tech; recycle it instead.

Whether it’s warranted or not, some people are worried about the spread of the Ebola virus. Office employees should also be concerned with the many other cooties that remain on common surfaces.
