Green and Affordable, Smart Bold Ideas for MSMEs

I want to share with you how we saved approximately INR 30 lacs while upgrading all our IT infrastructure at one of the subsidiaries of Synersoft. We applied a bold yet logical idea and minimized our investment in highly depreciable assets like desktops and workstations. I would request all my MSME connects to go through the same as it really helped.

Background

This idea series is about sharing smart and bold ideas to save enormous IT infrastructure costs without compromising quality and functionality. This version discusses minimizing the cost of desktops and operating systems for MSMEs.

Need

Enterprises have to change their desktops and workstations in various conditions. With the arrival of Windows 11, the hardware needed to change. Sometimes, due to wear and tear performance issues, the enterprise has to change the hardware. Sometimes, new generation software requires upgradation in processors and operating systems.

Problem

The cost of desktops and workstations has increased significantly in the last five years. Also, they are highly depreciated assets with minimum resale value. A good desktop with windows 11 for typical usages like Office, Email, and Internet costs approximately 30,000 INR and a suitable workstation for Solidworks and AutoCAD kinds of software costs 90,000 INR. The upgrade cost for a model 25 users network, could be anywhere between INR 7,50,000 to INR 22,50,000.

Smart Idea

When the computer is used for many years, its hard disk deteriorates. That is the main reason the computer slows down. Sometimes the processor is not compatible with running Windows 11. There is an idea of procuring compatible processors with Windows 11 in the resale. Further, a PC can be assembled with an SSD hard disk to boot and a new hard disk to store the data. Compatible high-capacity RAM can also be assembled in the processor procured in resale. It can perform a new computer with upgraded windows 11 operating system. The addition of new components like Harddisks can extend the life of the computer.

Maximum RoI

Procuring a 2-year-old processor installed in a cabinet (eligible for windows 11), adding SSD for booting, and adding a new HDD and RAM can save immense costs without compromising the computer’s performance.

R for Refurbished

UnitedSMEs, supported and funded by Synersoft, procures old computers loaded with OEM operating system, refurbish them for optimum performance, and offer them to SMEs for any requirements. Check this store to source desktops or workstations for your IT infrastructure upgrade.

It has helped many MSMEs curb the replacement/upgradation cost of desktops and workstations. I want to share this idea with all my MSME readers. Please connect with UnitedSMEs if you are interested in upgrading your desktops and workstations.
