Your organization’s technology doesn’t do you any good if it is inaccessible. That’s why having a thoroughly thought-out and carefully implemented plan to proactively keep ahead of technology issues is so important. This month, we want to talk a little bit about technology-related downtime and how to keep it from being a royal pain in your business’ rear.

We live in an era of constant upgrades. How often do you upgrade your smartphone? Do you give the same attention to your business’ technology? Many users ignore clear signs that it’s time for an upgrade, telling themselves, “I’ll manage just fine.” This mindset can be a problem. Knowing when old devices are slowing you down and upgrading to newer, stronger ones is very important.

You've likely encountered the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT), though its full implications might still be unclear. This is understandable, given the broad array of devices that fall under the IoT umbrella. Here, we aim to explore how the average business can harness the power of IoT to its advantage.

Many organizations have become reliant on cloud computing, which provides many benefits like cost savings and access to computing resources. However, they do run into complications with data security. One way to gain control and maintain accessibility is to use a private cloud. We’ll discuss why a business would consider using the private cloud over the more affordable public cloud platforms available today.

Cybersecurity covers a broad range of risks and threats. You’ve got the basics like your computer viruses and malware, to the business-crippling ransomware and data breaches. You have threats that cause stress and downtime, and others that steal information and money, and others still that don’t even have clear understandable objectives. The point is, cybersecurity isn’t simple, but sometimes the threat actors and cybercriminals who target you will use low-tech methods to get what they want.
