How hosted desktop services can help you budget better
17th May 2021
Every business wants to maximise its ability to efficiently budget. With IT continuing to become a more integral part of daily business operations by the day, it's essential to make savings wherever possible in your computing infrastructure. How can hosted desktop (also known as Desktop as a Service or DaaS) services help you do that?
The importance of consistent pricing
Handling your own IT infrastructure is difficult to budget for because you never have a clear idea of what your costs are going to be on a month to month basis. Out of nowhere, you may need to make key software or hardware investments that you hadn't been able to see coming, which can throw your budgeting into a tailspin. Hosted desktop services eliminate this problem by offering you a simple monthly cost for the service. It's generally worked out as a part of your service package, and you get a straightforward cost on a per user basis. This not only makes it easier for you to budget going forward, but it also makes it easier for you to plan the financial requirements of increasing or decreasing the size of your team. That monthly cost is consistent, as long as your needs stay the same. Something else to remember is that hosted desktop services are tailored to your business needs. That means every penny you invest will be for services you use, and you'll never pay for services you don't.
Making your ongoing IT costs clear and reliable
Hosted desktop packages can be as simple or all-encompassing as you want them to be. More extensive packages will also involve key services, such as ongoing 24/7 support and assistance with upgrading your cybersecurity. Paying for these services independently can make budgeting more difficult, but when you have them as a part of your ongoing hosted desktop package, it makes it that much easier to keep track of your business finances. Being able to properly budget for your essential IT needs is key for businesses of all sizes.
