Overview:
In a recessionary economy, companies are reexamining expenses against a smaller bottom line, and actively looking for savings across the board. IT departments are increasingly under pressure to justify the considerable capital expenditures attendant with hardware upgrades and OEM service and maintenance. This white paper details how OEM maintenance and regular IT hardware expenditures negatively affect the bottom line when viewed through the alternative approach of non-OEM support and maintenance. By examining IT support and maintenance expenditures at a theoretical company (based an actual examples), the paper illustrates savings versus expenses over a three-year period. Significant savings of between 20% to 50% are realized in the theoretical example involving non-OEM (third party) support and maintenance. The implications demonstrate that considerable maintenance savings can be realized by many IT departments. These substantial savings are particularly attractive and worthy of further consideration in the current - or any - economy. |
