36% of small businesses have PCs that are at least 4 years old. When you consider the costs, these
SMBs actually aren’t saving money by choosing to not refresh.
PCs built with 4th generation Intel Core vPro1 processors deliver up to $585 in total cost savings over
the life of the PC2. With savings like that, it’s hard to argue that limping along with an old PC is anything but cost defective.
In addition, many SMBs are using desktops as rudimentary servers. The reality is that A new Intel® Xeon® processor E3 family-based server delivers more than 3 times the performance of 4-year old desktop PC3, along with greater
productivity, efficiency, and security.

8 Reasons to Upgrade Your Server
Your server hardware is a ticking
time bomb. Don't be alarmed. It
may never actually "blow up"—
which is to say, melt down and
take lots of data with it. But one
day, sooner or later, it will
become obsolete. And for your
business, that's potentially an
explosive liability.
News: Blogs
The Hidden Cost of Ageing Hardware
It’s tempting to try and push the
limits of your hardware to delay
inevitable upgrades. This may
seem like a money-saving
measure on the surface, but the
truth is…

New PCs Can Save SMBs Money
There are five main ways small

newer PCs, including better

The Ageing PC Effect – Exposing Financial Impact for SMBs Small businesses are continuing their sharp focus on cost control and cash conservation. However, “cost” is sometimes a
tricky item to nail down. Too often, small business owners focus on short term costs and while in most cases this approach is
absolutely valid, at times it can lead to situations that cost them more.

News: The Business Bookshelf
The Innovator's Dilemma
by Clayton M. Christensen
What the book talks about: At the heart of The Innovator's Dilemma is
how a successful company with established products keeps from being
pushed aside by newer, cheaper products that will, over time, get better
and become a serious threat.
Christensen, an associate professor at Harvard Business School, focuses
on “disruptive technology,” showing why most companies miss out on new
waves of innovation. Whether in electronics or retailing, a successful
company with established products will get pushed aside unless managers
know when to abandon traditional business practices. Using the lessons of
successes and failures from leading companies, The Innovator’s Dilemma
presents a set of rules for capitalizing on the phenomenon of disruptive
innovation.
