Finding That Computer Gold

By Bob Cramer










In several firms, most appear to operate by a completely different set of rules and communicate in a different language than those utilised by the IT or computer services sector of the business. This division is a little artificial and partially maintained by the IT folks themselves as a result of a certain culture technical folks have about their specialized information and application areas. But at heart, those weird people down in IT have the same goals as every other business person which is to achieve success both personally and corporately in shared projects.

But those among us on the business side of the company landscape rely on the PC people to allow us know how things are going with that highly prized asset that we have in our IT systems, hardware and software. Most mid size to large firms run high capacity PCs or multitudes of PCs connected thru a network and those systems must perform at top capacity each day to accomplish the goals of the business.

The upgrade and upkeep budgets for the PCs that run your business without doubt represents a fairly sizable proportion of the company budget every year. But because those systems are what make you competitive in the market, that investment is really worth the cash to reassure that the mission critical jobs those powerful systems do get done on time each week and month.

When a computer begins to show signs of straining under the load of work, we are giving it, that may be a reason for heavy concern for a business. If your business framework dictates the load of traffic or system resources may be pushed to beyond what the computers can do with their existing computing power, that weakness in the IT infrastructure represents a significant risk to the company should the system become overloaded when there's a massive body of work to be done by these machines.

What every business person might not know is that there might be a concealed treasure-trove of computing capacity already resident in your IT resources that simply is not being tapped to its fullest. You know that it isn't uncommon for your IT execs or internet marketing specialists to report that your systems are at 80-90% capacity and must be upgraded to handle the next large increase in business.

That Hidden Goldmine is a discipline that has actually been around for a long time but is intermittently tapped in the modern world of business. That discipline is named capacity planning. By kicking off a capacity planning office and monitoring function, you can put the tools and the talent in place to exactly measure scientifically if your personal computer systems are at capacity of if there is just a need for system tuning or re-aligning of computing schedules to get a bit more out of the systems you already have.
