- Maybe cut back on services yes.. but make sure to trim maintence carefully
-
We moved to VM for our new project and i fully plan to move most, if not all, old servers to VMs. The cost savings alone in servers, space and electricity are amazing. The lease for the existing stuff just ended this month, so costs just went down 6000 a month.
We also moved to fiber at all our sites for a net 4000 savings for data services a month. We plan to move to voip with the same provider for phones, that should net us another 4000 per month. The downside is we have to implement a new voip phone system internally ( most of ours are really old ), but the cost savings from both should make up the cost in three - four months.
We provide our techs with their vehicles and gas cards, so there is no wear and tear expense checks going out the door.
It will be up to those in charge to find their own savings areas and capitolize on them.
Maybe use used printer cartridges rather than new ones? Only give users monochrome lasers rather than color, move to color copiers instead and let them print the color stuff there. Ban all overtime? Move your webhosting to a cheaper host? Drop web services that are not used? Use cheaper SSL certs or even self published ones.
I could go on. - Posted by: Been_Done_Before Posted on: 03/03/09 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
