Doing business with Equanet also gives you access to the largest engineering force in the UK with over eight years experience ranging from simple I.T. installations to complex multi-site engineering design and implementation solutions.

Whatever the challenge, you can rely on our technical experts and engineers to act as an extension to your own I.T. department. Our engineers are experts at seamlessly integrating into client organisations to fulfil any IT project.

Why do organisations invest in I.T.?

To increase productivity.

I.T. Services increase productivity by saving time, effort and money. Buying in Professional Services frees employees to use their valuable business skills to generate revenue without having to worry about I.T. issues.

Even if your organisation is large enough to have one or more full-time I.T. people, buying in I.T. services enhances their value to the business, for example, by making deployment of new machines quicker and more efficient or bringing in new skills that the I.T. team lacks.

How services add value…

The day-to-day running of I.T. can disrupt your business and costs more than people realise.

Take the example of a company with an annual turnover of £50m and 100 networked PCs. The company employs a full-time I.T. person for £30,000 Per Annum. When you take into account employer’s NI contribution, holidays (25 days a year) sick days (two a year), office space and all the other costs, the actual cost to the business adds up to approximately 1.5 times a salary, ie £45,000 Per Annum.

Even with a full-time I.T. person, your business is still likely to experience at least 10 days of network down time over the course of a year, probably made up of an hour here and there. On a £50m annual turnover, each working day is worth over £198,412.69. That’s potentially nearly £2m worth of lost turnover due to network outages.

Ensuring that business downtime is limited could save nearly £2m a year. When buying I.T. services, you need to consider the I.T. value to your business, not just the cost of the service.

Equanet I.T. services are available to help ensure your business operates with maximum efficiency and to help reduce costs. That’s not to say that Equanet I.T. services are a replacement for your I.T. staff, but they can free your existing staff to concentrate on the core activity of managing the business I.T. infrastructure.
