Whether working in the office or from home, here are a few low cost upgrades to make yours and your staff more productive.

1. Multiple Monitors

Having a single monitor or just using a laptops screen can limit users productivity. With multiple monitors:

• you can reduce the time spent scrolling through open windows.
• copy data between two documents easily.
• you can have email always open on one screen while you work in other applications on the other screens.
• save you from printing documents and cluttering your desktop with paper.

2. UPS

A UPS (uninterruptible power supply) provides battery backup power and surge protection. This of it as a large battery, if something happens with your mains power a
UPS will power the computer so that you can save your data and power off the computer safely.

With a UPS, size typically matters: the bigger the battery, the more power it will store so the longer you can run the computer when the power goes out. Consider what technology you need to keep up and running and for how long when considering a UPS.

3. Digital Scanning

The business environment has gone digital but a lot of home offices don’t have scanners or the scanner is located in a different room. For small one or two page scans did you know that you can quickly scan using your phone?

There are a few different apps you can use but we recommend Microsoft Lens (available for Android and iOS devices). MS Lens is a great way to capture notes and information from writing and sketches on paper and transfer it to a PDF.

4. Standing Desk

Some people may get tired and or sore back wen sitting at a desk all day. Investing in a standing desk can help your energy levels and reduce stress on your body from sitting in the same position all day.

5. Headphones

Noise-cancelling headphones make it easier to focus on your work while your fellow staff members talk or if working from home your family are making noise. They are also invaluable if you are often in online meeting
