Is The Current Economy Changing Computer Services As We've Known Them

Jan. 14, 2014 - PRLog -- Recently there has been a growing trend in the computer service industry. Industries like online backup services, antivirus protection, and remote computer and network management has began to change. Not only has the average home been attempting to decrease the monthly and yearly bills but companies large and small have been doing the same.


Monthly Yearly and Lifetime Computer Services

For years the only way that average people and companies have been able to get the computer protection and services that is needed on every computer was to choose between free services that may not be completely up to the task, or choosing to create a new monthly or yearly obligation which increases the total household or business overhead.

Since the economic trends of today have decided to stay around longer than promised everyone has been attempting to lower the monthly and yearly cost of everything. Computer services have not been safe from this downsizing of expenses. Many have been doing their best to find the same type of antivirus, online backup and computer services at a free or much lower rate in order to survive this tough economy.

As a result many computer service companies have created a new and surprisingly affordable trend. The new trend is the Lifetime Service agreement. Antivirus protection has usually cost between $39 and $79 a year. This added up over a 10 year period is an atronomical price. In fact it is actually cheaper to go with the free protection and simply replace the computer if bad things happen. This is why there has been a rising trend to seek out free protection like MSE, AVG, and Avast. Even though these programs do not offer the same level of protection as many paid antivirus protection programs the long term cost decrease even if a system must be replaced is still much better for the home and businesses.

With the new trend of Lifetime antivirus protection and lifetime unlimited online backup services many companies and homes have decided to spend more upfront for services that no longer have to be renewed every month or every year.

A larger one time fee is much easier to endure than a continued commitment that to many feels more like extortion than a viable expense. After all, once you commit to an online backup company what choice is there but to continue to pay whatever fee they ask in order to keep your pictures and important files that are stored on their servers?

A Changing Computer Industry

As the economy continues to limp along an entire industry is changing their old ways in order to survive. While the trend may only be short lived while current demands of the market continue the creation of an affordable Lifetime option has made many homes and businesses more likely to jump in and purchase the protection they have always known they needed but were hesitant to commit to. Companies like Tech Wizard Solutions at http://www.techwizardsolutions.com have created a trend that has quickly forced an entire industry to re-evaluate how they approach the market.

This new trend may be gone tomorrow if the economy decides to finally improve or it may be here to stay as it offers both the computer industry and the computer services consumer what they need. For the computer services industry these lifetime packages allow for more capitol up front while at the same time decreasing the extended commitment for home and business consumers.
