For small businesses with limited budgets and workforces, getting the type of maintenance needed to keep complicated pieces of machinery and technology in tip-top shape seems like a tall order. Sometimes it might be a budgetary issue, where it costs too much to hire in-house staff to handle this burden. Other times it might seem like you just can’t find any talent in your location. Thanks to modern technology—remote monitoring and management technology, in particular—you are no longer stuck by these limitations

It’s easy to focus on threats that are external to your business, like viruses and malware that are just waiting to infiltrate your network, but what about threats that exist from within? While insider threats are not particularly common in the dramatic, over-the-top way that they are made out to be in movies and media, they are still a very real issue that should be addressed by your organization’s network security protocols.

The last year and a half has ushered in many valuable lessons, and for many smaller businesses, the takeaway was the importance of good people and reliable technology when it comes to making major shifts to how a business operates.

From the technology side, many businesses struggled to obtain normality in a world that suddenly shifted to remote. If you managed to do it on your own, we applaud you. We saw the struggle and were able to assist with our clients through technologies we had been using for years, and for the most part, it paid off.
