Once a month, we provide computer maintenance support at the offices of customers who run equipment-related businesses. A few years ago, we asked this customer to review their contract for internet connections, multifunction devices, etc. I received. The reason was that the monthly expenses related to these things were increasing, and the total amount would be a considerable amount per year, so I was wondering if there was any way to reduce those expenses. Therefore, we first carefully checked the contract at the time, compared it with other companies’ services, and considered whether it was possible to reduce costs. As a result, we found that switching to another company could reduce costs by several tens of thousands of yen per year. Specifically, we have changed internet companies, abolished email addresses with unique domains, and since various services were included in the contract for the multifunction printer, we have canceled contracts for those that are less necessary.
Additional work
Later, due to a change in the contract, I had to change the connected equipment, so I was able to do that work as well. Other tasks included canceling the email account I had been using, leaving the incoming and outgoing email data as is, and creating and setting up a new email account. The contract modification process took a long time, and it took several months to complete the work.
Maintenance work
At that time, I perform various maintenance tasks such as checking the security environment of the computers in the office, providing computer guidance to the company president, etc. Currently, there are no problems with the PC environment in the company that existed before, and people are using the PCs comfortably.
