Employees lose up to two hours a week in troubleshoot computer problems annually, are more than 100 hours which are dedicated to fixing daily problems with computer systems, with the subsequent cost of loss of money and productivity this involves a survey collected by NCBs Binary, technological consulting firm specializing in cost savings and increased productivityOffice workers spend between half an hour and two hours per week in solving problems with computer systems. This loss of time, if it is computed at the annual level, reached the figure of more than 100 hours lost on fixing those setbacks that may arise with computers. There is general belief, between the leaders of the companies, that, those small daily setbacks which make the worker leave what you are doing to solve a computer problem, does not cause greater problems. However, and as it stands from BCN Binary, this loss of time in the long run, becomes a drain on productivity, the that translates, eventually, into a significant loss of money for the company. The main reason that argues for not wanting to invest in new computer equipment or having a computer service that has computers a day, is the cost that this entails.

Conversely, while this investment in technology may seem a priori an unnecessary investment in a short period of time, it will show its profitability, and will prevent worse evils such as lack of motivation of employees due to the feeling that can not perform their work in a correct way, comment from BCN Binary. Indeed, 33.7% of employees believed that hardware faults are one of the major reasons for stress at work. This lack of motivation of teams leads to a decline in productivity. For this reason, it is essential to have renewed equipment, updated programmes and a computer service that offers a proper functioning throughout the year. For example, one of the main advantages of counting with a computer maintenance service is the immediate cost savings due to automation of business continuity functions, followed by the fact of being able to avoid loss of information and activity due to a service stop.
