Does this scenario sound familiar?
Your primary software vendor has finally released a new version of their product that has all of the bells, whistles and bug fixes that they have been promising for years. The hard cost of the upgrade is nominal and can be shipped in two weeks. Sounds great so far.
By the way, the product won't run on you current operating system, the upgraded operating system won't run on your current workstations and the upgraded workstations won't operate in your current network environment.
Now the nightmare begins.
A comprehensive budget, tied to a sound technology plan is needed so this doesn't happen to your business.
Costs are spread out over time without financing.
Systems are continually being upgraded.
Data is more secure on upgraded systems.
A realistic budget with goals and contingencies allows you to act instead of react to the changing world of technology. Knowing what will be needed allows you to make adjustments well in advance of needs.
Upgraded systems just work better. Unless it is mission critical for your company to be on the cutting edge of technology, there are best practice guidelines available for maintaining your systems in a cost effective way.
The data on your systems is irreplaceable. Every effort needs to be taken to ensure its safety.
