NSI IT Support Connecticut: Perhaps you have seen an NSI wrapped Prius cruising down the highway or hanging out in a business park trying to pick up customers by showing off.
In a previous post, I mentioned that as business owners we are always weighing our options; so, when the idea of moving to company vehicles was presented to me I had an immediate knee-jerk reaction. I recalled a previous decade when the use of company cars did nothing but cost us money. I’m sure my initial response was written all over my face, but thankfully, my mouth said, “let’s run the numbers, and see what our options are.” With the help of our executive team (I’m lucky to have such a great staff, I’m surrounded by good ideas every day) we analyzed our auto expenses from the previous years, and compared them to what the Prius would cost. To add to the excitement, a couple of our vendors were willing to contribute to the cost of the wrap, as it is advertising for them as well. Factor in the cost of gasoline, and we were looking at a winning solution. Here is how it played out:
NSI provides complete IT Services and Small Business Computer Solutions, and has since 1985. Fifty percent of our staff is comprised of certfied technicians, skilled in both managed IT services, remote computer repair, and on site server and pc repair. Our technical staff is always on the look out for the next greatest thing, and finding free or inexpensive apps is an ongoing quest. Their basic criteria is pretty straightforward:
It has to be free or worth the price, and it has to be awesome.
Connecticut IT Support and Computer Solutions Provider, NSI, weighs in: Inside the FREE TRIAL, DEMO, and GIVEAWAY. We’ve all heard some variation of the saying: "If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail”. This is a component of “The Law of the Instrument” which is defined as an over-reliance on a familiar tool. What is your familiar tool? Is it attending networking events? Running newspaper advertisements? Getting referrals? Is it sending an email vs. making a phone call, or vice-vera?
Why choosing the right IT service provider matters now, more than ever. You’re a business owner. It’s 8:30am and your cell phone rings. It’s the office; your faithful early bird employee who opens the doors and gets ahead of it before the whirlwind of the day takes flight sounds distraught. The Server is down. There is no email. And, the report you need for your meeting won’t be waiting on your desk.
You find a way to print some of the information at home, and head in to the office. When you arrive, everyone is standing around talking about the situation, “how long will we be down?” Naturally, other social topics evolve from the conversation, and soon everyone is engaged.
