7 tips to reduce IT costs

Information technologies are essential for companies that want to ensure a good operational routine. Companies are increasingly computerized and we live in an increasingly technological environment. Therefore, it is imperative to invest in information technology. However, many managers consider these investments to be very high and this mindset ultimately makes companies obsolete. In today’s article, we present 7 tips to reduce IT costs while maintaining all organizational efficiency!

Delete the software licenses you don’t use

Software licenses are often expensive and companies often pay for software they don’t use. Thus, it is advisable to regularly review all the software licenses the company pays for and analyze their real importance to the business. Not worth paying for software that is never used!

Form the collaborators

Often companies make the mistake of not properly training employees to use a particular software. This will cause people to make mistakes repeatedly and the company incurring superfluous costs. Training the workforce to properly utilize technology tools ensures greater process efficiency, increases productivity, and dramatically reduces IT costs.

Automation is the way

Many tasks in the area of ​​information technologies are quite repetitive. Automating processes is a way to reduce IT costs, as it is not necessary to highlight a collaborator to be exclusively dedicated to monotonous tasks. Automation reduces the time that the tasks take to execute and decreases the probability of human error.

Cloud Storage

The Cloud has come to stay and is very useful for reducing IT costs related to data storage. Transferring the entire IT infrastructure to the cloud is a way to reduce costs and increase the security of company information. In addition, by using this storage method, the manager can access information from anywhere in the world and from any device.

Privilege SaaS

Using software as a service can change your entire IT area. SaaS is a secure, simple and remotely managed solution. Equipment maintenance costs are eliminated because the service provider is responsible for this maintenance. Using the software in this way is one of the trends of the future and is already used by many companies.

Use fewer servers

Many companies use multiple servers, all with low individual performance and high costs. To minimize this problem, it is advisable that these servers be replaced by more powerful ones that concentrate all processes. Often companies use 5 servers and if they used only one they would have lower costs and better results.

Use videoconferencing

This is one of the easiest ways to reduce IT costs. Meetings can be held using videoconferencing technology as this reduces travel, accommodation and food costs. In addition, videoconferencing meetings are usually of shorter duration, which frees employees to perform their responsibilities and, as a result, the company’s productivity increases.

The importance of technology in team management

Managing a team and having effective communication between all members is not an easy task. Technology plays a very important role in this area as it helps to reduce communication noise, encourages good communication among all, and reduces costs. In today’s article we will address the importance of technology in team management!

How does technology improve team management?

Using the right technology allows employees to stay productive and connected throughout the day. The right tools help to define priorities and track tasks, as well as manage relationships within the team, avoiding conflicts and minimizing communication errors. Using software and applications, managers are able to communicate more easily their strategy and objectives and define KPIs for employees.

There are several tools that help managers communicate more effectively with their team. Let’s find our top 4!

Instant Messaging Tools

Tools like Skype and WhatsApp are very important for team members to keep in touch and to communicate with each other. Although these applications are used for professional purposes, they are also important for creating cohesion and linkage between the group.

Video conference

This tool is very useful for group meetings and allows even the team members who are far away to participate in the meeting. The manager can share presentations and reports with all participants. In addition, videoconferencing helps reduce travel and accommodation costs and helps reduce lost productivity.

Cloud

Cloud storage is already seen as a competitive strategy that responds to the needs of small, medium and large companies. Companies like Google and Microsoft provide servers where files are stored the same way if they are stored on a computer or mobile device. Files are stored for miles, but over the Internet, through a login and password, you can connect to your account and access all of your files. This facilitates sharing of documents by all members of a team.

BAM tools for real-time data analysis

The business world is increasingly accelerated and it is essential that a manager knows, at every moment, what is happening in the company. Analyzing reports with a few days means to have a reactive action to the events, which can bring losses to the company. Thus, real-time data analysis is increasingly essential in the business world. Multipeers is a BAM system that allows you to analyze the business to the minute, through a platform where all the information of the company, from the diverse sources of data is found. This allows for faster, more effective decision-making and an in-depth knowledge of each employee’s work.

Increasingly it is essential to keep up with the business world every minute in order to be one step ahead of the competition. Softwares such as Multipeers are increasingly a necessity in the business world because besides allowing to monitor the business in real time, they also send alerts to the user whenever something relevant happens.

Internet of Things

In a very simplified way, Internet of Things aims to connect any device to the Internet. According to Gartner, by the year 2020 there will be more than 26 billion devices connected to the network. At home, this concept aims to make life easier for people, but its application will also have an impact on the business world. In industries, for example, Internet of Things proves to be very useful since it is possible to measure temperature and humidity levels. The sensors are integrated with network and system monitoring tools and, if stipulated values ​​are exceeded, alerts are generated to take corrective actions.

Drones

From pest monitoring in agriculture to surveying in the mining industry, the use of drones (unmanned aerial vehicles) is expected to grow strongly in the coming years. Due to the high costs, these devices are currently only used by large companies, but the trend in the coming times is to lower costs and thus may also be adopted by small businesses.
