Within every industry, from heavy machinery to computers, possessing the relevant equipment allows a business to properly operate and grow. However, certain equipment may require a costly investment.
If a business is seeking to purchase new equipment or upgrade existing inventory, equipment financing and leasing has become a popular method of equipment acquisition.
Equipment financing and leasing is used to provide companies with the capital necessary to purchase needed equipment–the equipment acts as collateral for the loan. Regardless of the type of business and size, financing important equipment through a finance arrangement can be beneficial. Here’s how:
• Save money. Equipment financing can save a business money by bundling the equipment, installation and maintenance for a single, cost-efficient solution that maximizes budget.
• Stay up-to-date. Because of its affordable cost, a business can remain up-to-date with changing technology trends and equipment to maintain competitive advantage.
• Accelerate ROI. Tax leases allow businesses to secure working capital, invest it, and make more money while paying less for the equipment by writing off payments.
• Hedge against inflation. Financing and leasing allow business owners to lock their original signing rates to avoid future equipment inflation.
• Tax advantages. Depending on the structure of a lease, all lease payments may be written off as a deduction.
WesTec Services provides commercial equipment financing and leasing solutions for businesses of all types. At WesTec, our experts work diligently with both equipment buyers and vendors–offering an equipment financing solution that is suitable for all needs.
Our monthly-payment package may include equipment, software, maintenance, shipping, installing and training for a true turnkey solution for business technology.

Every business relies on communication to succeed. Because communication methods are only enhancing and changing, businesses are constantly seeking ways to cut telecommunications costs. In fact, it is estimated that telecommunications services are the third largest operating expense for most companies.
If you’re searching for ways to cut costs within your business, telecommunication audits are an easy, accurate way to discover what business practices are working and which ones are not. Telecom audits could potentially save your company thousands of dollars each year. Here a few benefits of implementing telecom audits: • Increase efficiency. Telecom auditing systems can provide advanced and customized reporting of current phone system services. Utilizing this innovative tactic, any problems with the telecom infrastructure can be brought to the surface–allowing productive time for immediate equipment fix or elimination. • Save time. The use of telecom auditing systems can provide highly itemized and detailed reports for any department. Having quick access to accurate data of system conditions and employee performances saves wasted time for determining what changes need to be made–also, company down time can be prevented if equipment needs to be upgraded.
• Find savings. Telecom audits can identify areas of wireless overspend throughout the entire company. If a company is dishing out extra expenses for mishandling of communication equipment, audits can identify billing errors or other unauthorized charges. By acquiring more data, necessary changes can be made to cut expenses.
WesTec provides telecommunications audits of a business’ current phone service provider. Our IT specialists will review and analyze the existing telecom services and provide recommendations and methods to reduce overall costs and maximize value and profitability.

IT companies offer enhanced consulting and support that go beyond what internal operations could provide–saving wasted time on operational issues. • Access to experts and latest technology.

Today, when people seek information from the Internet, they want it almost immediately. The frustration and delays of dial-up connectivity to the Internet are ongoing and wear on the patience of many web users. However, the upcoming of broadband has eliminated many of these frustrations.
A good broadband connection to a home or office complex means there’s greater capacity to send and receive data–which is highly important within commercial settings. With broadband, users can access the Internet with ease, browse the web more efficiency and download files faster.
Here are other benefits implementing broadband connection may offer:
• It is persistently ‘on’. With this connectivity, there is no wait-time for dial-up connectivity. Avoiding this down time allows for increased productivity in the workplace.
• It complies with media rich websites. Many websites today are media rich with interactive graphics and audio and video streaming abilities. These website elements were designed to be used via broadband for enhanced website experience.
• Working remotely is an option. With increased attendance flexibility at the office, high speed connectivity allows access to links to internal computers and telephone networks–offering the office facilities in the comfort of a home.
• It offers shared access. With the high-speed connectivity this connectivity offers, the connection can easily be shared amongst several PCs or other devices throughout a home or office. Most routers have wireless connectivity–allowing usage for computers, mobile phones and tablets.
• It is cost-efficient. Because broadband typically is offered at a fixed price, a company can budget effectively for their Internet connectivity–ultimately reducing overall operational costs.

No matter the size of the business, regular backups performed on the necessary technology platforms are essential to securing a company’s network. In the case of a virus, system failure, humor error or natural disaster, the results could be irreversible. Technology backups ultimately ensure the data needed to continue running business operations is secure and clean. Consider these additional motives to hire a professional IT support team for implementing a proper backup strategy: Data loss can be costly. Because the modern business is supported greatly by technology and computer networks, the loss of network data can financially scar a business. Implementing an effective backup strategy can act as an insurance policy for a business. Failure to backup systems could compel business closure. Due to the potential irretrievability of imperative information, a business may be forced to cease services as a result of extreme decrease in revenue. Remaining proactive and consistently performing technology backups strongly increases the longevity a business. Backups provide peace of mind. Performing regular backups allows a business to focus on deliverable business efforts instead of fretting over network security. Backups help rebuild a network regardless of a virus or a hack attack and eliminate frustration along the way. Every business is susceptible to an IT disaster. However, integrating a cost-effective backup strategy into the daily operations of a business could manage and secure irreplaceable files. WesTec Services offers backup disaster and recovery services to small and medium-sized businesses. Not only can our trained IT experts cure technology issues but also take preventative measures to avoid future occurrences–including conducting thorough backups to all technology.

Inevitably, technology is becoming more important to businesses of all shapes and sizes. Utilizing the right technology effectively can help a business become more profitable, versatile, and sustainable against its competitors. However, the rise of complex technology brings increased confusion and problems for many.
Here are some reasons to hire an IT professional to work alongside your business:
Technology is everywhere. No matter the market or size of the business, technology is involved in some shape or form. Investing in an IT professional can help optimize existing technology within the company and ensure the systems that are used daily are always working when they’re needed.
Technology is always evolving. Because technology is always developing, it can be used to push a business to the next level. An IT expert can assist by implementing updates to existing programs or introduce a company to new programs that can simplify work duties. Hiring a professional can save time and money. Whether some technology needs updating or needs to be fixed, outsourcing to an IT professional can help a company save time and money by trying to fix it themselves. Asking an IT expert to help is considered to be a cost-effective solution avoiding technology down-time.

Facebook’s most recent monthly active users numbered over 2.3 billion. That’s almost one account for every three people on the planet! Many of your ideal customers use this platform to interact with businesses and creating a page for them to engage with yours costs almost nothing. Here are six free ways to get more eyes on your business’s Facebook page.
Focus on getting comments
In the beginning of 2018, Facebook announced broad changes to what it shows to users. Notably, the social platform now prioritizes posts from friends and family over those from businesses. Zuckerberg says the aim is for users to engage with their connections more often, and going forward, the number of comments a post has will be the biggest factor in how many newsfeeds it shows up in. Posts from businesses lost a lot of visibility, but the ones that generated the most conversation weren’t hit as hard.
Facebook-only promos
Another great strategy for boosting user engagement is to offer product or service discounts that are only available through Facebook. You want users to see value in your page, so avoid copying and pasting a special, such as a discount code, from another marketing channel. One popular option is to promise the release of a new promotion in your next live video broadcast. Announce the details during the broadcast and tell viewers to leave a comment if they want to be included. Then, you can send them a direct message with a confirmation and a thank you.
Facebook CTAs: Update them often
Businesses have several text options for the ‘call to action’ button on their Facebook page. Would ‘Contact Us’ get more clicks than ‘Learn More’ for your page? Experiment with the different options and where they link to until you find the most successful combination. You probably spent more than a few minutes working on the CTAs for your website — why wouldn’t you do the same on Facebook?
Don’t just post about yourself
If a user has already liked your page, they know you exist and they have a decent idea of what you sell. Occasionally take a break from posting links to your site and include news and information that relates to your products or services. Remember, Facebook places the most value on social posts, and limiting yourself to company updates and promotions will bore your followers.
Pin posts to the top of your page
When a post generates lots of engagement and holds users’ attentions for a long time, don’t let it get buried underneath less popular posts. Click the arrow in the upper-right corner of the post and select Pin to Top to make it one of the first things people see when they visit your page.
Be personal
Most importantly, always look for ways to make your company’s Facebook page more personal. Stiff and formal posts are a dime a dozen and rarely catch anyone’s attention. If you share fun, behind-the-scenes photos of your business, respond to comments in a conversational tone, and make jokes, your page will stand out from the rest.
A Facebook business profile may be free, but generating engagement will take some effort. We can help by installing and supporting communication and customer relationship management solutions that simplify the engagement process. Contact us today to find out more.
