Without effective budgeting, you can run into roadblocks caused by not having the right IT in place.
IT Budgeting is More Complicated Than You Think
If you own a small to mid-sized business, you need two IT budgets. One for the routine expenses you’re going to incur in the current year, and one for all the capital investment required for your business to be alive and kicking next year.

Basic IT Budgeting for Small to Mid-Sized Businesses
If you own a small to mid-sized business, you need an IT budget.
Actually, you need two budgets – one for the routine expenses you’re going to incur this year, and one for all the capital investment required for your business to be alive and kicking next year.
Unless you’re in finance (or a big numbers nerd), this probably isn’t something you want to hear. Not just one budget for IT but two? You’ve already got enough on your plate just running the business day in and day out.
But here’s the thing: Investing in IT is about much more than hardware and software. The dollars you allocate will fuel your growth, keep your operations secure and running smoothly, and make it possible for you to lap the competition.
So how do you go about creating two IT budgets? What are the things you should, you know, be budgeting for?
