Step 1:

View the IT budgeting process as a discussion of necessary spending, so use it as an opportunity to decrease costs and speed up company processes.

Step 2:

Work with your IT partner to identify vulnerabilities and prioritize your company goals. Prepare a budget that aligns with these goals.

Step 3:

Give yourself ample time to plan. Depending on the size of your company, our experts recommend reviewing 90 days before the new year.

Step 4:

Get feedback. Ask for opinions from a blend of those who will be affected by such changes, your IT partner, leadership, and employees alike.

Step 5:

Properly maintain and replace IT assets. Your IT partner should track the expirations of your hardware and software, as well as updates and necessary upgrades. Don’t wait until something is irreplaceable, to try and replace it.
