Productivity and old computers..

Michael Felder - Monday, April 20, 2009

How to measure productivity in an office is always a difficult task.

I have conversations with business owners almost every day about when is the right time to update their computer system. Normally the outcome depends on the style of the owner. Those who run a slick business by managing the operation from a distance are much more likely to see the value in keeping their computer systems running quickly.

See the problem is as computers get older they slow down. Now I guess this is not really surprising. But the older they get the slower they respond or seem to operate. This is for a number of reasons that I won't go into here, but the slower the response, lower the productivity. Lets add another factor too. As machines age they become unreliable, the older they get the risk of failure increases. When a computer fails it unusable until it can get fixed. Productivity is nil.

So when is the best time to upgrade? Well, I wish I had some great research paper that spend 2 years investigating just this phenomenon. But I don't, only have my experience and that of our staff.  read more
