OPEX<\/span><\/h3><p>The spend on a lift does not necessarily have to be viewed as a capital expenditure (CAPEX). In fact, this may complicate attempts to get purchase approval. Recategorizing the DC lift as an operating expenditure (OPEX) can help.<\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Categorizing as a Safety Expenditure<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does your organization have an environmental health and safety team? If so, start there. These teams often have their own budgets, and therefore, potential wiggle room. Since a data center lift is, by many definitions, a safety device, this way of budgeting is very feasible.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Credit or Expense Cards<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can make room for a new data center lift with a high-enough discretionary spending limit on a company credit or expense card. Even if the cost of the lift exceeds that limit, here at ServerLIFT<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, we can split the purchase into multiple payments spread out over time\u2014usually without any credit check. Placing part of the cost on a credit card and the other half as a purchase expenditure is also a good option.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salary Spend<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lifts increase efficiency and eliminate the need for multiple people on a server move or install. \u201cNow with our data center lift, I can use one person per rack going up . . . and I can have two guys working on two different things instead of having everyone working on one thing together,\u201d notes Chris Boyll, DC Manager at Flexential. This translates to savings on salaries allocated for server installs and refreshes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a colocation facility like Boyll\u2019s, where services are managed and clients need an immediate response, acquiring a lift is a crucially important change.<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overnight or third shifts covered by one person can be more productive, because the on-shift tech can spend downtime doing server installs, instead of waiting for a shift with more coverage.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emergencies can be responded to without waiting for another employee to arrive.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a build-out or a migration, time and labor are saved and potential damage is mitigated.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Considerable labor savings add to the bottom line and justify the cost of a DC lift<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When there\u2019s no money allocated for a purchase like that of a data center lift, considering the purchase\u2019s impact on other budget items like your labor costs can make a compelling case that spending the money today will have a net zero or net positive impact on the budget for the year.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insurance Advantages<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, contact your insurance broker; savings may exist for the implementation of safety upgrades including the purchase of a data center lift.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data Center Lift Savings<\/span><\/h2><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employee Retention<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tim Dixon, CEO of <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.interoptic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">InterOptic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, writes that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.informationweek.com\/cloud\/cut-data-center-costs-without-sacrificing-performance\/a\/d-id\/1332087\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">boosting employee retention<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is critical in cutting data center costs.
