Hidden Cost of IT

Uncover the Hidden COST of IT

Computers, Software and/or Server Systems are an INVALUABLE part of most every business today. Even the smallest businesses rely heavily on computers to keep things organized and profitable.
So what exactly is the “Hidden COST” I am talking about??? Well, there are actually “2” overlooked cost that people need to be aware of with the first one being the cost of electricity to power the units. A single computer (left on 24 hours per day), without a monitor, can easily use $250 worth of electricity per year. For a business with 20 computers that $5000 per year! The second cost deals with the environment. In 2007, the EPA estimated that 157.3 million computer products (including CPU’s, monitors, keyboard, mice and printing devices) were disposed of with only 18% of those being recycled. Electronic Waste (E-Waste) is one of the fasted growing waste streams today. As more and more of this waste ends up in landfills, our environment will suffer and impact our children’s future.
