Where Did Your IT Budget Go?

Across many organizations, one struggle remains constant: determining and managing the IT department’s budget. What’s worse, IT budgets are often pulled for another department’s use. IT spending should theoretically be viewed as a way to invest in the organization’s future — but not everyone sees it that way. This is often an unfortunate result of misunderstanding IT department purposes and its budget use.

To combat the loss of IT money, Atrion offers the SolutionsBank, a budgeting and funds storage program that allows your IT group to hold on to that budget with no questions asked — and no begging from or fighting with the accounting team! Atrion simply holds the money for you until you’re ready to use it. Think of the SolutionsBank as a rainy day fund for your network.

Here’s how it works:

• After your first deposit is made, funds are held in an account and can be withdrawn at any time.
• You can add funds at any time.
• If you have leftover budget money, you can add money to save for future initiatives, essentially pre-allocating that money for IT use.
• Each month, you receive a statement with your balance and the scope of projects from the prior period
• Call Atrion when services are needed, and money is immediately available.

SolutionsBank is ideal for many situations, including:

• Emergency break-fix
• Preventive and scheduled maintenance
• New projects within defined scope of work
• Large-scale projects without defined scope of work
• Network design
• Security analysis

Best of all, the money is always yours to use as you want. Your funds never “expire.” At the end of the year, you can request any remaining funds be returned to you or rolled over to the next year.
