How to Avoid Bill Shock within your Business

Posted on June 19, 2024

Nobody likes to be surprised by an increase in their bills, even more so when running a business during a pandemic.

You may have heard the term ‘bill shock’ flying around lately – it means what it says on the tin, the shock of getting a bill, more specifically an unexpectedly high bill.

Along with this, the UK government have announced the highest tax increase in 28 years in 2021, with a £65 billion raid on household incomes and company profits. With this in mind, budgeting and financial planning is almost an impossible task.

This guide will provide you with the information you need to find way to save money on your IT resources and create an effective monthly budget, eliminating those nasty bills.

In our latest whitepaper, we discuss:

  1. What is bill shock?
  2. What are the common causes?
  3. Preventing bill shock with:
    • Azure Advisor
    • Role-Based Access Control
    • Indirect CSP Provider
    • Choosing a Private Cloud Provider/Partner.

For more details and advise on how to prevent bill shock within your business, Citadel Technology can help. We are a team backed with over 50 years’ experience and knowledge in the IT sector, in which our team can advise you on which IT solution can benefit your business the most.

TESTIMONIALS

Client Reviews

speech mark

“Citadel have been a much valued and supportive partner to Beaumont Textiles for many years and are unfailingly helpful. A measure of any partner is when things go wrong and a few weeks back Martin at Citadel reacted incredibly to a business-critical issue for us, that was not “His” problem. Great stuff”

Managing Director
Beaumont Textiles Limited, Chorley, Lancashire.

“We chose Citadel as our new IT partner at the end of 2022 as we were dissatisfied with our previous provider and therefore, decided that a local and more accessible IT partner would be ideal. The decision was vindicated, as Citadel have been extremely responsive to any of our requirements and they have guided us seamlessly on our journey to the cloud without any fuss and disruption, a great local IT provider and a great team to work with.”

“Citadel has provided IT support to TSA for the last 13 years, during that time their service has been and continues to be exceptional. Citadels hosted platform is extremely reliable with routine upgrades and development, advisors are knowledgeable, friendly and quick to answer any questions or deal with any issues. I would highly recommend their services.”

Customer Service Manager
The Shredding Alliance Limited, Shredding Service, Barton, Preston

“Citadel has allowed us to remove a large, bulky server creating more storage and allowing us to focus on what is important rather than IT. Throughout the pandemic, the continuous and ease of use from different work environments was vital and still is now, as for certain members of staff we have introduced hybrid working.”

“I would just like to say how pleasant and polite Ben is whenever I have a problem. I am near retirement age and anything technical is quite daunting for me. He is always reassuring and helpful I think compliment should be said when due.”
