Is time really money?

Hey! What do you think about this article? Are you interested? Let me know if so and I will find more info on the same topic.

Like many good techies, I have this quirky habit of trying to fix things myself. This has led to friendly jabs from my business friends over the years.

“Mike, do you realize what your time is worth?” they ask.

“They have people that know how to fix brakes, you know!”

I nod my head and accept my friend’s superior wisdom, but then as soon as they leave, I sneak back into the garage and finish the repairs.

So what is right? I agree that my time is worth something, but I also want to enjoy my life. And many techies like me consider fixing things to be part of a happy life. But business is different. Your employees’ time really is money. This is because most employees have this thing about wanting to be paid! If you can save your employees time, it will ultimately save you money (among other benefits).

Let’s look at some interesting examples.

Start me up

Did you know that Microsoft Windows XP had a design goal of 30 seconds from power-up to usability? Wouldn’t life be great if this were actually the case? But to make things worse, PCs gradually degrade, pushing the power-up time into minutes rather than seconds! Your employees start their computers once a day (plus restarts when their applications crash) and then they wait. A couple of two-minute boot-ups per day, multiplied by 250 work days per year, works out to 16 hours and 40 minutes per employee.

A good IT person can restore the original 30-second boot-up by various methods, such as reformatting and reinstalling applications. It’s not pretty work, but neither is watching all your employees watch their computers boot up. Even if it takes two hours and 40 minutes for an IT person to reinstall Windows and applications, it still results in a net 14 hours saved.

In a company like Fidus, with approximately 60 employees, we’re looking at a net savings of $58,800 (using a $70 fully loaded hourly rate). And the real savings could be closer to $200,000, if you consider all of the benefits of speeding up application software. Consider how many times people open Word, Excel and PowerPoint each day. Everything goes faster, which means more productivity. Adding $200,000 to the bottom line of a 60-person company isn’t negligible.

And there’s more than the monetary savings. Employees who get more done per day will be happier and will be able to get home sooner to spend time with their family.

Food, glorious food

At Fidus we spend thousands of dollars per year to keep the kitchen stocked with free, healthy food (we do let some good stuff in occasionally). We didn’t do this at Fidus to increase the average weight of our company. We do it to save our employees time and money. But ultimately, we do it to make Fidus money by eliminating the need for employees to roam the streets looking for food.

I’m not going to tell you exactly how much money this saves Fidus, because we consider this to be a trade secret. However, I will tell you that our CFO is Scottish and knows how to save every possible penny, and our food policy has passed his scrutiny!

Fast and furious

Let’s say your dinosaur fax machine just blew up and caught fire – you lost the fax machine and need a new one, not to mention a new fire extinguisher. Do you buy the fax software that is the cheapest, or do you spend the extra $300 to get the fastest and most trouble-free machine? Well, the answer depends on your business. If you do a lot of faxing, you should buy the absolute fastest machine possible. Capital purchases are a one-time cost, but your employees’ time is a daily expense.

If you frequently scan documents, buy a machine with a document feeder that actually works. And set it up so that the scanned files go directly to your server, so that everyone can use the shared scanner with ease.

Don’t sweat the small stuff

Another common criticism: “Mike, you are the CEO – don’t worry about the small stuff.” Again, this is probably true, but I failed CEO 101. Here’s my opinion, for what it’s worth. If you as the CEO identify and fix one or two time-wasting annoyances that impact your staff, they may decide to fix one or two other time-wasters themselves. This models positive behaviour where the benefits turn out to be geometrically progressive.

So, at work, time is money. But at home, time is precious.

County has new tool to fight crime

Hello! Found something new! Every week I post here messages about crimes and scams, and other unpleasant accidents. And I sincerely believe that once there will be the time when technologies will allow us to find the criminal in some minutes but not as now: within months, years or even never! Next topic is about some novelties that are already used to find outlaws!
White County now has another tool in the arsenal against crime in the form of software to create composite drawings of individuals being sought for various unlawful activities.

According to Detective Ruben Hormilla with White County Sheriff Department, he and other officers have recently completed training with the software that will allow law enforcement officers find suspects more easily.

“This is a composite sketch, which is meant to closely resemble a suspect,” said Hormilla. “It should help us narrow the search more quickly.”

Hormilla stated WCSD has purchased the software and paid for officers to attending training on how to use it.

The use of the tool is being offered to all agencies in the county in an effort to share resources and bring perpetrators to justice as quickly as possible.

“The purpose of the software is to exclude as many subjects as possible, narrowing the search,” continued Hormilla.

According to information from Identi-Kit, the company that developed and markets the software, the program is a powerful investigative tool that creates accurate photo realistic facial composite sketches based on verbal descriptions provided by a witness or victim.

Users have the ability to make customized wanted posters, transmit the composite sketch via the web, email or fax, or export the composite sketch to other imaging programs. Additional upgrades and training are made available to users as they are developed.

Hormilla also pointed out the sketches produced with the software can also be published in media as a means to get the public involved in solving crime.

“We are lucky that people around here pay attention when something bad goes down,” stated Hormilla. “We believe this tool will help in a tremendous way.”
