Now that we're into football season, you'll probably be seeing games where it all comes down to what happens in the fourth quarter. The decisions made during that period can make all the difference in a team's score – or in its entire season. Well, business purchasing decisions are like that too, especially where IT is concerned. Let's take a moment to examine how some well-considered Q4 purchases, as guided by our Austin IT business support team at Gravity Systems, can help you prepare your business for its next profitable and productive year.

Buying necessary IT equipment now can help you at tax time. If you're looking for smart, legitimate ways to balance your books, racking up some sensible business expenses in the fourth quarter of the year can help you reduce your company's tax burden. This benefit isn't limited to hardware, either; investment in IT managed services can also count as a deductible expense.

A new year means a fresh start. The beginning of the business year is traditionally a time to redouble efforts, rethink goals, and refine processes. You'll want to make sure you have the right tools for the next phase of your journey, whether that phase involves a total re-branding, an introduction of new product lines, the growth of your current location, or the expansion into multiple locations.

New employees need extra resources. Are you planning on bringing new team members on board next year? The last you need is to have those new employees sitting around while you scramble to procure the desktops, network access, or mobile devices they'll need. Stock up on those items now so everybody can hit the ground running in 2019.

Remember, Gravity Systems can help you choose and purchase high-quality equipment from leading manufacturers. Give us a call today and let's discuss your plans for “next season.”
