The Real Cost of Small Business IT
The ever-changing landscape of Information Technology demands adaptation from
everyone, whether it be just for daily life, or for business. It is rapidly making things easier, more secure, more accurate, and if you can’t keep up, you can fall behind in the blink of an eye. Small businesses are becoming increasingly reliant on IT to streamline operations, enhance productivity, and stay competitive in the market. However, the challenge lies in finding the right balance between investing in IT infrastructure and managing associated costs.
Small businesses typically spend a significant portion of their revenue on information technology to ensure high-quality infrastructure and support. According to various sources, the average IT spending for small businesses ranges from 4-7% of their annual revenue. This expenditure includes costs for tech support, software development, cybersecurity, system monitoring, and cloud services.
Larger companies typically spend less for their IT, due to their sizable staff, budgets, and revenue.
The costs associated with IT for small businesses contain many parts, including hardware, software, network infrastructure, cybersecurity, and ongoing support. OSG USA sheds light on the breakdown of IT support costs, emphasizing the importance of having a comprehensive understanding of these expenses.
