Outsourcing Your IT: When Is It Time?
As your company grows, you will need to decide whether to outsource your IT and if so, when. If you don’t necessarily know, that’s fine. There are a lot of factors that go into the decision, and it isn’t one you want to take lightly. Let’s go over some of the benefits of IT outsourcing and what factors might contribute to making that decision.
What Is the Financial Cost of Migrating to the Cloud?
Cost savings are easily the biggest driver behind the increasing popularity of cloud computing. However, while predictable costs and long-term flexibility are enormously beneficial, that doesn’t necessarily mean that migrating to the cloud is either cheap or easy.
Why You Should Care about Hardware Lifecycles
Maximizing return on investment is a key priority with every area of your business, but it’s not always easy to determine when it’s time to get rid of old IT hardware. Like everything else, all hardware devices have a predefined lifecycle, which is typically determined by the manufacturer.
Cloud Migration Considerations for IT Leaders
Although on-premises data centers remain relevant in niche applications, the cloud represents the obvious next step in the evolution of small-business computing. Migrating to the cloud offers a considerable reduction in overheads, practically unlimited scalability, and the freedom for your employees to work anywhere, without having to be tied down to a desk.

IoT security attacks your small- or medium-sized business should be aware of
The “Internet of Things,” or IoT, is a network of internet-connected devices able to collect and exchange data using embedded sensors. More simply, these are everyday items that can connect to the internet to share data like your heart rate, the temperature in your fridge, or whether you forgot to lock the front door.
The price small- and medium-sized businesses pay for network downtime
Like ‘cloud computing’ and ‘Internet of Things,’ downtime is a buzzword that small-business owners often throw around. So, before we can talk about how to calculate it, we need to define it. Downtime is the duration of time a system is unable to perform its primary function.
Network assessments: What are they and what are their benefits?
Network maintenance is one of the most challenging aspects of IT. Internet bandwidth usage can be steady one minute, and completely uncontrollable in the next. It requires extensive technical knowledge as well as a deep understanding of user behavior and the business's goals.
