SMBs waste too much time on IT

We’re as surprised as anyone

Research from BT Business has revealed that many UK SMBs (small and medium sized businesses) waste more than 24 working days per year on non-core business activity, which apparently includes IT.

The study coincides with the launch of BT’s ‘triple play’ offering for business, in which landline, mobile phone and broadband services are all grouped into one. By spooky coincidence, it seems that a lot of this wasted time could be avoided if only these SMBs were to use it.

“It sounds simple, but by bringing together fixed-line and mobile phones with broadband, businesses can cut the number of suppliers they have to manage,” said Bill Murphy, managing director of BT Business. “This not only reduces complexity, but also brings down cost, giving companies one bill, removing the headache of running a business and helping UK SMEs get back to doing what they do best.”

Yeah, it's MUCH more efficient to let BT **** up all your comms in one fell swoop than to have multiple providers just ****ing up their own bits… :P
LOL :telephone:
Since when did the Super Mario Bros waste time? :laugh:
Sigh…. You launch a site covering channel news and what happens? Some gaming nerd wanders in and clever with acronyms. :P
When I see SMB written, I never think of Mario nor small and medium sized businesses…
