Limited budgets need clear priorities. We help you decide what to buy first and what can wait.
A starter list
Quantities depend on your size. Tell us your numbers and we will turn this into an itemised quote.
- Computers and devicesLaptops, desktops, tablets and screens for offices, classrooms and field teams, chosen for the work they will actually do.
- Networking and Wi-FiRouters, switches, Wi-Fi access points and firewalls, designed around the number of people and devices that will use them.
- Power and backupUPS units, surge protection and backup power so a blackout does not cost you work or equipment.
- CCTV and access controlIP cameras, recorders, biometric attendance and door control that cover the areas you care about, day and night.
- Operating systems and office softwareGenuine operating systems and office software, licensed correctly for the computers you actually have.
- Backup, cloud and virtualisationSoftware that keeps copies of what matters, recovers you after a failure, and lets you run your own systems on fewer machines.
How we would approach it
- Spend on a safe, filtered network and dependable power before anything fancy.
- Back up records of the people and programmes you serve, and keep one copy off-site.
- Ask us whether education or non-profit pricing is available for the software you need.
- Buy fewer, better devices and look after them. Cheap and broken costs more.
