Companies must always seek new ways to save money and
reduce operating costs. This allows them to bring in maximum profits and
grow their revenue streams. Some companies choose to reduce costs by
cutting staff, freezing employee pay or reducing budgets. These are
effective means of cutting costs but can hurt the company in the long
run. By limiting staff or the resources that employees use companies
hinder the ability to produce efficiently.
When a company decides to limit its resources – employees, spending or
otherwise – they are also creating environments that are not operating
efficiently. An employee who has avoided a round of layoffs will
constantly be worrying about being the next person let go. In a similar
fashion an employee who must perform the same duty with fewer resources
must take extra time to adjust. These problems lead to less efficient
employees.
The first thing a company should do when they are looking to save money
and reduce operating costs is examine the essential tools that they use
in their daily operations. Many companies use computer network systems
to handle the tasks that they cannot do without. From hosting
inter-office communication, sharing software and hardware and keeping in
contact with clients, computer network systems do it all. They even
make sure that essential company data is backed up.
If a company has not ensured that their computer network system is
running optimally it can experience slow operations and experience
problems with completing these daily tasks. Work piles up as jobs take
more time, employee frustration grows and clients become impatient as
they are shown neglect. No company can continue to operate if clients
are not satisfied by the service that they receive.
There are many different reasons for computer network systems to slow
down. The most common reason has been shown to be fragmentation of the
system’s disk. Fragmentation occurs when the integrity of a file is
corrupted. The file is broken into pieces of information that are stored
in several places around the disk rather than as a whole. As time goes
on fragmentation can slow the entire computer network system down to a
crawl. If it remains unfixed fragmentation can also cause a complete
network crash. These crashes mean that company data is lost and hours of
work must be put on hold until the problem is fixed.
Companies are recommended to deal with fragmentation head on. The
problems that it causes are so severe that waiting too long can create
massive losses in revenue, clients and prestige. If your company has
seen a decrease in network performance recently you are the most at risk
for a catastrophic system failure.
Because the problem of fragmentation has such immense consequences the
Diskeeper Corporation has introduced new software to combat it.
Diskeeper 2011 is data performance software that allows companies to
defragment their computer network systems. Defragmenting the system
restores damaged files and helps protect the system.
A computer network system with
data performance software will last
longer than one that does not have protection. It will require less
upkeep and reduce IT costs. Data performance software also makes it
easier for employees to access the information that they need to do
their jobs day in and day out. As an added benefit, data performance
software provides another level of security for the company’s sensitive
data. By preventing fragmentation and the network crash that can result,
files are kept out of harm’s way.
Before a company decides to limit spending in an effort to improve
revenue, they need to make sure that their computer network system is
using data performance software. Cutting wasteful spending on the
network system means that they can focus resources elsewhere and retain
the ability to grow into the future.
