Cost Reduction Strategies

We realize that your IT dollars have to be spent wisely. Each year, we assist our clients in creating an annual technology plan that focuses on the business objectives to be achieved, how these objectives translate to technology requirements and cost reduction strategies that can be employed to save the business money. Some typical areas we help our customers leverage for cost reduction include:

Reduced software licensing costs. Software licensing can cost thousands of dollars per employee once you factor in cost of the desktop operating system, Microsoft Office software and peripheral programs such as PDF generation software. These costs can be substantially reduced - and sometimes even eliminated - by selecting products such as OpenOffice, Google Apps and desktop equivalents that look and feel like Windows at a fraction of the cost. Through the annual plan we establish for all our customers, we help our customers evaluate, plan, roll out and train end users on these technologies - saving them thousands of dollars every year.

Reduced hardware costs. The average computer user uses less than 10% of the available power in a desktop computer. Why, then, does one person need a whole computer to themselves? Why not share that computer between two or three workers? For a fraction of the cost of a new PC, multiple people can simultaneously share one physical computer, with each person having their own keyboard, mouse and monitor - the cost savings are amazing and it even simplifies administration. Using this technology allows our clients to reduce hardware and electricity costs by 50-60% when compared to running independent workstations.

Server virtualization. Similar to in concept to sharing one computer between multiple users, multiple servers can be run on a single physical server through the user of virtualization technology. Combining multiple servers onto one physical platform simplifies administration, reduces costs and extends the longevity of our customers' IT investment.

Free hosting. As a simple value add, we offer free website hosting to all of our clients - just our way of saying "thank you" for doing business with us.
 

Trimara vs. In-House IT Support

Are you trying to decide between hiring an in-house support person versus engaging a provider like Trimara? Here are a few reasons why you should consider partnering with Trimara.

Multiple support agents. With one in house support person, what do you do when that person become sick, takes vacation or makes the decision to move on to other opportunities? These problems disappear when you partner with Trimara because you're backed by a team of support agents, not just one. 

Lower cost. Partnering with Trimara to fill your in-house support needs is actually cheaper than hiring your own employee. With Trimara you don't need to worry about benefits, sick leave, employment insurance or all of the other extras that take away from your bottom line - you pay one low price every year.

Transition plan. Are you interested in switching to a managed service like Trimara's but you already have someone in-house? Don't worry, we've encountered this before and we can work with you to develop a plan that will allow you to transition to our service without needing to let go of your in-house person.
