What is the actual price tag of a worst-case scenario? Most business owners view IT as a safety net, something that only needs to be there to catch them when things break. But here is the cold, hard truth: If you are waiting for the crash to happen before you take action, you have already lost.
The climate is a weird, weird thing… and when you introduce it to your critical business tech, things only get weirder. Extreme temperatures are harmful to technology at whichever end of the spectrum you’re talking about, hot or cold.
In short, the wrong temperature conditions can kill your tech prematurely.
This makes it essential that your business IT is properly prepped for such extremes, regardless of which end of the spectrum seems more likely. That’s where we can help.
Let me pose a (hopefully) hypothetical scenario: your business has relied on your server since 2019. Each and every day, it handles every request that your business has had of it, but on an otherwise uneventful Tuesday, it suddenly conks out, dead as a doornail. So, what do you do?
This is just one example of why an IT roadmap is a non-negotiable need for modern organizations. That still leaves an important question… what should this roadmap include?
Backups are a common subject in IT and in business alike. You can think of them like your spare key or the spare tire, where they are the emergency fix for when you do something silly or something unexpected comes along. But with business, the stakes are higher, and when your company’s data is at risk, a simple backup approach—unlike the spare key or spare tire—is not going to be enough.
Relocating your office is a major milestone, but treating your IT infrastructure like just another box of supplies is a recipe for a Monday morning meltdown. The difference between a seamless transition and a week of lost productivity often comes down to early planning. If your company is eyeing a new space in the next six-to-12 months, avoid leaving your technology to chance.
