Companies
don’t become successful because of chance or luck; they become
successful because they are built on solid business plans, philosophies,
and methodologies.
While there may not be a blueprint that has been followed by these
successful companies there are certainly common practices that they have
all implemented that have contributed to their standing. One of these
practices is the reduction of waste, and this
includes wasted resources, wasted hours, and wasted money.
By
eliminating waste a company can dramatically improve its bottom line
and create a favorable outlook for future growth. The only trick to
eliminating waste
is understanding where that waste originates and for some companies
this can be a problem. That problem gets worse when a company assigns
blame to the wrong area and wastes more resources, hours, and money
trying to fix something that is just a consequence
of what’s really to blame.
This
is why it is imperative that a company properly identify the real
source of their waste and in today’s business world that source is
almost always related
to their computer network system. Because the computer network system
ties together so many areas of a business when a problem with its
performance arises it affects every facet of that business. Trying to
fix each of those issues rather than the central problem
of the computer network system’s performance is nothing more than
trying to plug the holes in a leaking dam rather than finding a more
permanent solution to fixing the dam.
A
quick look at what the computer network system is responsible for makes
it easier to see what kind of impact it has on a business. Employees
rely upon
the company’s network system to access and share files, software, and
hardware, browse the Internet, communicate with customers and clients as
well as other employees, store data, and secure information. These
functions are exclusive to a particular department
inside a company; they are vital components for every aspect of the
business.
When
the performance of a computer network system begins to slow it creates
problems for each of those functions and often leads to file hangs, lost
files,
computer freezes, and network crashes. This is all part of inefficiency
and lost production, both central figures in waste.
Now if the wrong approach to solving this problem is implemented then a company will continue to see these issues. Those wrong approaches include laying off employees, cutting budgets, instituting pay freezes, etc. All of these actions carry negative connotations and don’t solve the problem of waste, they actually create more problems with employee relations.
The
real answer to solving waste is a positive action, installing data
performance software so that the computer network system remains health
and capable
of performing at its highest level. This simple step not only improves
efficiency and productivity- cutting waste instantly, it also extends
the life of the computer network system- meaning a company won’t have to
go through the expensive process of replacing
their system due to a crash.
When a computer network system is operating at its peak level the resources of a company are maximized. Employees are able to complete their work in a more accurate and timely manner and actually take on a greater workload. Ultimately for a company a healthy computer network system is a means of getting more for their payroll dollar, something that would benefit any business.
The reason
data performance software is so significant is because it can
actually restore the health of a computer network system. Unprotected
networks will always fall victim to problems like fragmentation, a
condition in which pieces of individual files and free
space on a disk are not contiguous but rather broken up and scattered
around the disk, but what data performance software is capable of doing
is repairing those fragmented files and reorganizing the drive so that
those files are easier to access and more reliable.
Once
data performance software has repaired the existing damage on a network
system it is also able to monitor the drive to ensure that issues like
fragmentation
don’t reappear. Again, this is a significant step in reducing waste for
a company because they don’t need to worry about dedicating a lot of
resources to safeguarding their network, they can rely on data
performance software to do the job.
Of course not all data performance software is the same and
Diskeeper Corporation has designed Diskeeper 2011 with performance
enhancements that can’t be found in other software. What truly separates
Diskeeper 2011 from all other data performance software is the fact
that it can actually stop fragmentation from
ever occurring. By installing this data performance software early a
company locks in the health of their network and its ability to operate
in an efficient and reliable manner.
Data performance software is really an essential tool to combating waste within a company because its benefits are so far reaching. Every area of a business is improved when a computer network system is operating at its highest level and that is exactly what data performance software like Diskeeper 2011 provides.
