How long does it take to boot up your computer when you start your workday? Most people would be fine with a one minute boot time; five minutes can get a little annoying, and anything longer than ten minutes warrants a coffee break. You may not have realized it, but a few extra minutes of boot time can impact the productivity of your company in a big way.
Let's say that you're on the phone with a client going over a major proposal and they utter four words that fill you with dread, "Fax it to me."

The value of professional services is that you can contract someone a reasonable fee to do something that you don't have the time or skill to achieve on your own.
