A recent study of SMB’s in America showed that 70 percent of IT budgets are typically spent on maintaining current IT infrastructures, and only 30 percent are typically spent on new capabilities.

What does that mean?

It means that most businesses do not or have not developed a business model that allows for the adaptation or adoption of new technologies to assist in business growth.  It has been argued (rightfully so) that all businesses need to consider the power of Cloud Computing, and apply more resources to the many benefits of The Cloud.

What is Cloud Computing?

It is the next big paradigm shift in technology.  Simply put, Cloud Computing is a new consumption and delivery model for information technology and business services characterized by:

• Ubiquitous network access
• On-demand self service
• Location independent resource pooling
• Pay-per-use
• Rapid Elasticity and Provisioning

Evolved from grid computing, and building significance in virtualization, networking, and provisioning multi-tenant architectures, Cloud offers a new way of doing business. Utilizing The Cloud, businesses can help provide access to new markets, enable new business models, while creating value within the business by lowering costs.

How can this affect my business?

These value drivers have the potential to transform businesses in the following ways:

• Providing an open and elastic IT environment
• Driving business innovation with large numbers of new applications
• Increasing business responsiveness
• Lowering cost of ownership and improving asset utilization
• Enabling real-time data streams and information sharing
• Providing global resources
• Optimizing IT investments

Show me what that means….

PSS Enterprises has helped businesses:

• Reduced hardware costs, resulting in a 65% savings via reduced infrastructure and improved hardware utlitization
• Saved 27% on licensing costs simply by improved practices
• System administration savings of 45% by eliminating administration and operating costs
• 76% savings in labor by reducing service request management.

Proof that using The Cloud will lower capital and operating costs of IT by providing dynamic infrastructure implementation and management automation.

For Example:

The data that the user works with is normally stored on their machine. Using The Cloud, the data is saved in the cloud, not on the machine, so when the laptop is broken, lost, or stolen, all is not lost.

Your employee has suddenly come down with an infection that would wipe out the whole office if they came to work.  With Cloud virtualization, they can login to work from their home PC and work from the comfort of their infectious home.  For that matter, with cloud, all employees could work from home, thus elimiating the need for office overhead.

You are on a business trip. You forgot the CD, thumbdrive, or laptop that had the killer presentation on it.  With Cloud, the data is stored online, you simply access it online from anywhere and forgo the drama.

Cloud Computing is the future of best business practices everywhere.

The competitive marketplace has companies stumbling over each other for business. This is certainly true in the Information Technology field. New IT firms appear overnight and many are gone just as quickly. What should a company look for when determining if they need Technical Outsourcing or who should do it?

Look for the company that “Adds Value.”

What separates the masses of IT Firms? Certifications, years of experience, staff, hours of operations, price, and namely, reputation. What if you had a company that offered everything mentioned above but added one main component that competitors often overlook, VALUE.

When it comes to determining value, it is best to look at age-old business practices. Getting the most for the money. Whether it is services, products, project management, or accountability, is your provider giving you the most they can at a price that is beyond your expectations? If not, the company has fallen to another age-old business practice, being fleeced.

Evaluate current needs. Money spent on technology service and what is being offered at that price. Contracts, Service Level Agreements, or other inflexible documents that do not evolve with the technology needs of tomorrow. Then call Denton IT. Their solutions specialists will arrange for a Business Expert to come to your place of business, understand your needs and expectations, design a solution, and execute.

One call can shift the paradigm. 1-800-285-2448. Check us out on the web, http://www.dentonit.com for more information. Find out what adding VALUE can do to a company.

Business owners are innovators, leaders, and scapegoats of today’s society.  Every business owner has 3 main thoughts that drive them out of bed everyday and become the productive member that they are. 

One: They know that people need or want their products and/or services.

Two: People depend on them.  From the best customer to employees, a business owner is not an island.

Three: People want to give them money.

Of those three thoughts, it is the third thought that is the most intriguing.  The great question is WHO is it that wants to give them money and WHY.   Marketing 101 tells the owner their MARKET is WHO wants to give them money. WHY is answered with their PRODUCTS or SERVICES.  PSS Enterprises is offering business owners 4 simple ways to help develop their business so that the market is aware of their product.

1. WEBSITE- Businesses today without a website are deemed (sometimes unnecessarily) untrustworthy.  There are a variety of reasons that businesses do not have websites.  The fact remains that today’s consumer expects to be able to check a business out online before spending their money.

2. SEO-  Search Engine Optimization.  SEO is key to letting the world know about products and services.  The costs associated with SEO varies and can be set on a budget.  Utilizing page rank and repetition, SEO puts the company name, product, or service at the top of the webpage, where consumers are likely to click first.

3. Mass Listings-Simular to SEO, mass listings puts the company name, address, phone number, and web page on multiple directories.  The repetition of information in conjunction of backlinks create stronger, more credible web presence.

4. Public Relations- PR events still work in today’s digital world. A professionally written press release informing the public of a product or skillfully designed marketing piece will reach a demographic of the market that values traditional marketing.  Community events, volunterism, and social events bolster market presence. 

PSS Enterprises has marketing packages that fit any budget and every marketing package is uniquely designed for each client.  Mention “DENTON IT” for 10% off of your final bill!! Call 1-800-285-2448 today to speak with a Solutions Specialist who are trained to identify your market and know how to exploit your products and services.
