These should have an IT supplier 

We will not force our services on anyone, but we can make some general recommendations. There are a number of factors that influence whether you should have an IT supplier or not. 

So let's consider some scenarios that could affect it: 

  • Your company has grown rapidly and has now exceeded 10 employees.
  • Your company belongs to an industry with strict rules for e.g. information sharing, privacy or products and ingredients. 
  • Employees are left with IT problems, wifi that won't play in teams, and files straying from their work. 
  • You find that you don't get to spend time on it du is good at because you are stuck with solutions that work more against you than for you.
  • It is difficult to make decisions and get an overview of what you need or have a need for in terms of technological gadgets in the future.
  • Every day, Norwegian companies experience attacks via email, SMS or other channels. This is very unpleasant, and attacks from unknown quarters can be very dangerous. The attacks are mostly random and therefore you can be next on the list.

If you recognize yourself in any of the points above, then you should get an IT supplier. 

What is the price for an IT supplier?

Previously, we have told what a company with under 50 employees should have in its technological equipment park. You can read about that in this BLOG post. Now we will take a closer look at the actual costs for these services and this equipment. The examples use our own prices where relevant, and aAll prices in the following paragraphs are stated without VAT and establishment costs.

Spoiler alert: Having an IT supplier costs from NOK 11 per employee, per year if we take our minimum prices as a starting point. You can multiply that by the number of employees you have, and you will get an idea of ​​what their monthly costs will be.

365 Workplace

Price: From NOK 575/month x 12 months = From NOK 6900 per employee, per year.

365 Arbeidsplass gives you a complete cloud-based IT solution, including Microsoft 365 which we all know well. A modern workplace most likely uses collaboration tools such as Teams, Word, Excel and Powerpoint, and easy file sharing with OneDrive for Business, among others. With 365 Arbeidsplass, we experience that productivity increases, the level of interaction rises and the level of security is top notch.

There are many advantages to using 365 Workplace apart from those we mention. We have written an article that goes into more depth about why you should use Microsoft in this way. Read it here.

Device as a Service (PC equipment for rent)

Price: From NOK 390/month x 12 = From NOK 4680 per employee, per year.
The price is based on a standard work PC called ThinkPad L14 from Lenovo.

With "Device as a Service" from us, the PCs you need are delivered as a service with a fixed monthly price per user, with no commitment period. Our clear recommendation is that you should own what increases in value and rent what does not. Thanks to this service, you can also be sure that you will easily get help if the PC does not want to cooperate, if something is wrong or if the PC needs upgrades. The price provides predictable costs, and hopefully flexibility with when you need to scale up or down. 

Why should you rent computer equipment rather than owning it? We know that it is often the opposite of what we think in this country. Therefore, we have explained why we believe and see that it pays to rent rather than own in this article. 

Network as a service

Price: Wifi from NOK 320/month + Firewall from NOK 700/month x 12 = NOK 12 per year.
*The price is based on our smallest packages of up to 50 units. That means approximately NOK 245 per unit. 

With Network as a Service, you get the network boxes fully configured. This means that they are laid out in the way you need and with the security needs you have. You just need to plug in power. Both wired and wireless networks are tailored to your company. We make sure it is always up to date. Then you don't have to play IT manager when you'd rather spend your time being a complete boss in your own field. 

Did you know that the network box can help you against the hackers? Encryption, access points, access and your firewall help to determine that. When we say that your network boxes are fully configured, that's what we've been working on. Read more about how the network box can contribute!

The journey to the cloud

Price: Depends on the size of the company and complexity. 

There is no fixed price for the journey to the cloud - and we understand that it can be a bit difficult when you have to calculate your IT costs. The positive thing is that if you have first completed the journey to the cloud, the heaviest (and often most expensive) job has been completed. After that, you must maintain and ensure that you maintain the routines that are set early in the process. We take care of the rest!

The cloud sounds very pleasant, but it is difficult to know exactly what it means. Therefore, we have considered both the words, the expressions and the reasons why we recommend to use the cloud actively in everyday work at the BLOG.
