Don’t Let Technology Sink Your Budget!

Blog
The whole point of making a budget is to control costs. All it takes is one surprise to undo all the careful work of budget planning. No department is immune to unplanned expenses, and while it's impossible to totally prevent budget-busting expenses across the board, you can take action to turn many surprise expenses into controllable costs. Turning the expense of technology maintenance into a controllable expense is exactly what PACE Technical Services's managed IT services are all about. This is because when it comes to budget-busters, technology is one of the worst culprits. Other budget categories, like personnel for example, are controllable and yield few surprises; not so with technology, it is difficult to plan in which Quarter your workstation will go down. Your computers and your IT infrastructure are nothing more than complex machinery, just waiting for the worst possible moment to break down and leave you up the creek without a paddle or a smartphone. While you are stranded up Technology Creek in your canoe (the S.S. Budget), you will find yourself being pulled into a tributary called Major Repair Expense Stream.
