COVID-19 has changed business and the global economy in ways we could have never anticipated. The pandemic has forced us to consider a different future as we reset our businesses, not only because of the coronavirus but because technological advances demand it!
COVID-19 caught us all off guard as we faced many IT scenarios that we just hadn’t planned for, or ever thought we’d face! The good news is that in the past several months, we’ve all had time to adjust to the new normal. As we march towards 2021 now is the time to put practices in place for the long-term.
For many businesses, staying on top of the fast-evolving world of technology, and having the support needed to keep up, is a challenge. Not only does IT include technology and network functions, but cybersecurity, cloud hosting, printing, device management, remote support and disaster recovery need to be considered too.
Of all the malicious software out there, none is more insidious than ransomware. In this post, we’ll define ransomware, look at ways you can fall victim, and how to best prevent an attack.
While the dream of the paperless office is getting closer all the time, the fact is, paper use in the office is still commonplace. Many companies, particularly law firms, continue to create, consume, and manage huge amounts of paper. Yet, little is actually done to protect these paper documents.
Today, technology is continuing to evolve at an ever-more rapid pace. Businesses that rely on technology need to keep up with changes that are often happening so fast, systems are becoming outdated almost before they’re upgraded. Keeping track of security patches, driver updates, program upgrades and more takes time, energy and focus away from your core initiatives.
As digital transformation becomes more of a factor for business, relations between business and IT seemed like it was improving. In 2012, Capgemini asked 1300 senior executives “do your company’s IT leaders and top executives have the same understanding on IT’s role within your organization?” Sixty-five percent answered yes. Then things turned south. Last year Capgemini asked the same question and only thirty-seven percent of executives responded yes, down fifty-three percent from just six years ago.
Today, security is of paramount importance to every business. A recent Verizon report found that 81% of hacking-related breaches leveraged either stolen and/or weak passwords to gain entry to a network. That’s why it’s critical that you implement security measures like using complex, difficult to crack passwords and for added protection, “Two-Factor Authentication” or 2FA.
The digital realm surrounds us both personally and professionally with benefits to individuals, the environment, and the business world. Before you begin the digital transformation of your organization, it’s important to have a strategy in place to make the transition more efficient and effective. While any type of change can be difficult, going digital poses a unique set of challenges for businesses of all sizes—but regardless of when, or how, you navigate the process the results are the same: employee empowerment, enhanced resource management and increased profitability.
