Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) need every advantage they can get. The Internet of Things (IoT) offers a powerful way to boost efficiency and drive growth.
Simply put, IoT connects everyday business objects—from machinery and vehicles to thermostats and inventory—to the internet. These connected "things" use sensors to gather data and communicate, often automating actions without human intervention. This creates smarter, more responsive business operations.
Before we even get into small business technology management, it’s worth noting that your typical SMB is already handling a lot. IT isn’t as simple as adding new hardware or downloading a new application; it’s managing an entire technology ecosystem that needs to operate and interact with each other. Let’s examine what goes into small business IT and what you should prioritize as a business owner.
Let's talk about something that might not be the most glamorous topic, but is absolutely vital to the health and survival of your business: data backups.
Think of your business data as the lifeblood of your operations. It includes everything from customer records and financial information to crucial project files and intellectual property. Now, imagine a scenario where this lifeblood suddenly stops flowing. What would happen?
Data centers—off-site locations where you can store your business’ data—are an excellent opportunity to decentralize your data infrastructure and improve accessibility, redundancy, and security. But how do you choose a data center for your business’ needs, anyway?
Today, we’ll explore some of the more critical elements you should consider for your data center needs.
Malware sounds like one of those tech words people throw around, but don’t understand. Still, if you’re running a business or even just using the internet for work, you need to know what it is and how to deal with it. Malware is any kind of software designed to mess with your devices, steal your info, or hold your data hostage. Not fun.
