Making the right choice

Purchasing hardware is far from a simple process and there are a lot of aspects you need to consider when looking to doing so. Companies must ensure the hardware meets the requirements of the company both now and in the future, that it aligns with company policies and delivers beyond expectations.

There are a number of things to consider when planning hardware procurement which include:

  • What are your 'must have' and 'nice to have' features?
  • How many computers, printers and storage devices will you actually need?
  • Desktops, laptops, tablets - what choices should you make and how do you integrate devices to optimise communications across your company?
  • What is the hardware being used for? What are the memory requirements to run chosen software?
  • Do you need single or multi-function printers? What are the print quality and speed requirements for the business?
  • Ensuring that technology that integrates into your chosen network, and provides efficiency
  • Data storage - understanding your data storage requirements will dictate the best options for your hardware purchase
  • How will data and systems be accessed? Locally or remotely?
  • What is your overall budget for the correct infrastructure for the business? What is the best spend for your budget?

In our experience there are too many factors to list when looking at a large purchase of hardware, but with any hardware that is being used on a daily basis, you will require an ongoing maintenance program that fully supports your operational requirements in the future - there is little point in having redundant machinery!

Consider your team!

We have always recommended to any business considering upgrading hardware that they consult with the employees who will be actively using the new equipment. Understanding and incorporating their needs is one of the most important parts of upgrading hardware. A computer that doesn't provide functionality and flexibility can be frustrating, lead to a drop in productivity, and generate headaches for internal IT departments - all of which costs the company valuable time and money!
