The last thing you want when you’re trying to solve problems for your business is to hire an amateur. Not only will a novice take longer to solve your problems, you’ll also spend more money to redo their work when it’s done incorrectly. This goes for IT as well, which is why it literally pays to work with professionals.
Oil well firefighter Paul “Red” Adair said, “If you think it’s expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur.”
The reasoning behind this statement—the idea that a novice will take longer and make more mistakes than someone with more experience—is particularly applicable when it comes to your business technology and its management. Let’s explore a few reasons why this is.
Keeping your business technology running can sometimes feel like being on a treadmill—you work hard to keep things moving, but eventually, something breaks, and you’re forced to fix or replace it. You should try a technology needs assessment to avoid surprises and stay ahead. This process can help you figure out what’s working, what’s not, and how to plan for the future.
Some businesses feel pressure to get the newest, most advanced technology. It sounds like a great idea, but just because a tool is available doesn’t mean it’s the right choice for your business right now. Here are some smart strategies to help make sure your business gets a good return on any tech investments.

Planning business actions can be a difficult and time-consuming experience. What’s worse, things don’t always go to plan and it can really throw your business off. In today’s blog we advocate that the best thing you can do—especially when there is technology involved—is not to get too far ahead.
Project management, or the process of managing all a business' internal efforts, is something every organization deals with regularly. Therefore, this process must go as smoothly as possible. We’ve put together some practices that should help.
Data powers businesses, but it’s not just confined to the professional world—we share vast amounts of data in our personal lives, too. Even seemingly trivial communications like chats, grocery requests, and meme or pet picture exchanges are data. And wherever there’s data, there’s a place where it’s stored.
Technology plays a vital role in nearly every operation. As a result, businesses—especially those that rely heavily on IT—need reliable IT support.
For most small and medium-sized businesses, managed IT services have become the go-to solution. Here’s why.
