Setting up a new business is a thrilling venture. You’ve raised some money and you’re ready to get on with your plan for your business. But before you get into the swing of things and set up your office, you should first consider your IT needs. Who else to consult than an IT support company?
You’ll have a number of considerations for setting up an office. By far the most important question to ask yourself is how many employees you plan on hiring and whether or not your business is the type that will expand massively over the following years. You’ll need to estimate your data usage, storage, and internet requirements so you can determine what type of server you need and what type of broadband you should sign up for.
You’ll also need to make a choice about your phone system. Do you have a traditional PBX system in mind? If so, you’ll need to determine how expensive it will be to buy or rent the equipment and handsets as well as working out how much it would be to add on extra extensions in case you need them in the future. If you choose a VoIP system, you’ll likely have to ensure you have the best quality broadband for your area, though it will probably be cheaper overall.
On top of this, you’ll also need to purchase all of your hardware for all employees, install operating systems and necessary software, and customise each PC to fit each role. Obviously, you as founder would not actually do this; you’d hire a few IT experts to do it. Instead of reaching out to whoever is available and changing things in the future, why not consider your IT support more carefully from the beginning?
