Debunking office myths

When you’re a small business, you may be encountering some small business myths. The phrase “ignorance is bliss” doesn’t apply to finding the best technology for your business. When you start believing these small business myths, it can be difficult to get started. You need to know what can benefit, or hurt, your business. We here at Brock Office Automation have busted three common myths about office automation and small businesses.

Upgrading to new technology is too expensive

While technology can be expensive, it doesn’t necessarily have to be. Now more than ever, there are low-cost small business solutions. Whether you’re an office of 5 or an office of 15, there is affordable office equipment to suit the need of your office. Will you be using a scanner, printer, and copier? Combine all functions with a multifunctional printer. This MFP can be a space saver for your small office and will also streamline your procedures. Don’t have the capital to purchase? Leasing can be an affordable solution for smaller businesses.

 

My business is too small for software

Every business can benefit from streamlining processes, which will ultimately help to increase revenue. You don’t need to wait until your business is a specific size to take advantage of this software. You also don’t need one with the largest price tag. There are multiple applications that are affordable and can suit the needs of your specific business. The emergence of cloud computing has allowed businesses to utilize mobile technology to enhance their business operations and also provides them with data protection when managed properly.

 

Outsourcing my printing and copying is cheaper

Although it may seem cheaper up front, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it will be cheaper in the long-run. The key thing to keep in mind is that these businesses are looking to turn a profit as well. They’ll charge a flat fee, however if you are producing a significant amount of printing and copying a month, calculate the ROI on the purchase or lease of an MFP. A local dealer will be able to show you the cost of each print/copy (which will undoubtedly be less than it would be to outsource it).
