Many people wonder: my software is slow , what do I do? The
lack of speed of a computer program, of any type, can have fatal consequences
in the company. Low productivity, an unpleasant work climate among employees, a
feeling that nothing is working, a large number of errors that take time away
or make customers dissatisfied.
If you still think that if your software is slow it is
something that you just have to accept and that's it, let us tell you a few
things.
My software is slow, what is wrong?
First, as we always say in this, you have to identify the
origins of the problems. In computing it is very easy to fall into the
attribution error. We often say "my computer is not working" or
"my software is slow", when in reality it is a problem with the
operating system, or even with the Internet connection, which has nothing to do
with your computer.
If you reinstall the operating system, it will work fine
again. If you check your Internet connection and see what is happening, your
programs will go fast again. It is not always a computer problem related to the
hardware of your computer, although sometimes it can be.
Therefore, before making a mistake and buying another
computer at the first exchange, keep in mind that you are not falling into an
attribution error. A help can be to turn to computer maintenance professionals
.
Where is slow software running?
We can talk about different types of software:
•Your operating system
•Your ERP system and your POS
•Your office automation programs
•Your web browser
•The cloud programs you use
•Etc.
If the operating system is slow, it is normal that no other
program works at an acceptable speed. But be careful, think that for example if
a program in the cloud is slow for you, the problem may be with the server
where it is hosted and it has nothing to do with your Internet connection. Or
vice versa.
The point is that in your company you cannot afford to work
with programs that are slow and destroy your productivity and work capacity.
Given the programs that are slow, you have to take into account many aspects if
you want that a significant part of the time you pay your workers is not lost
to nothing because they cannot work.
What causes a program to go slow
Typically, mature and slow software can do so for several
reasons:
•They are out of date and start to give errors
•They are running on very old or outdated hardware
•You have very little RAM for that program
•There is a Trojan that slows down your computer and
everything goes slower.
These problems are sometimes partly our fault for not giving
our equipment preventive IT maintenance. Other times, it simply has to be
attributed to the passage of time.
Every time we want to work with better programs and our
computers are not always ready for it. Also, since we get the factory computer
until the years have passed, they have been storing and deleting things on
their hard drive, the components are no longer as good and they are
deteriorating, etc.
In short, you have to know when the time has come to replace
the equipment, and when the problem could be solved in a more economical way,
just by giving it proper maintenance and also ensuring that the users of the
equipment are responsible for their use.
How to make my software go faster
In the case of companies that have developed a type of
software (an internal business management program, a web application, etc.),
the problem has a more specific solution.
And it is that it is the programmer himself who should
provide maintenance and apply the necessary improvements to his computer
program.
A program that, from the moment it is installed, does not
have adequate speed conditions, may have been poorly programmed, be full of
errors and give problems of all kinds. Speed is probably not the only problem
you have, so it would be important to thoroughly review the software that has
been developed and see what can be improved to make it really useful in your
business.
Otherwise, if you want to make your computers and software
go faster, ask our technical support service. At Gadae Netweb we work with
companies in Madrid and in different places, giving them our advice for a
better use of computer equipment and better maintenance.
If your software is slow and you want it to go faster, that
your computer equipment is really prepared for what you want to do, we invite
you to contact us , specifically telling us about your problem and the service
in which you would be interested (computer maintenance, bracket, etc.).
