... where I'll will be reviewing information technology products and services geared for the small to medium sized business.
So much technology.... So much change... So much terminology... All so fast... What will work for me and my business? That is the info tech world we all must survive in; and the one that I hope to help shed some light.
You may be a small office with nothing but a few laptops or maybe your computing infrastructure is supporting 200 users in several offices across the country. There is one thing in common for us all: the information and processes to run and manage our businesses are critically dependent on a strong, dependable computing platform.
We are definitely moving into a more service-oriented world, but when is it a good time to move into these services and when is it good to invest in your own?
A little about me... I'm a small business owner in the information technology field in Houston, Texas. I helped build this business from the ground up. It's been over 8 years now and I've seen so many of our clients having the same questions and have the awesome position of being able to see all of the good (and not so good) business practices related to I.T.. Before joining CAP5, I worked in retail sales and operations management from sales person, through store sales, operations and warehouse management, up to a four-state division position overseeing pricing and marketing. I've seen good I.T. and not-so-good I.T. and the business practices around it.
Over the next few weeks, I attempt to discuss and review products and services that will answer the kinds of questions all of us - the small to medium business owner and/or manager will need to know. Planned topics include (in no particular order):
- What is this "Cloud" and what will it do for my business?
- What should every business have in place for their information needs?
- How much security do I really need?
- The Big Dilemma: PC vs Mac
- What really should be done to maintain and protect my information?
- Do I need off-site backups? What is a "good" backup solution?
- Software licensing
- Why are patch updates so important?
- Benefits of true collaboration
I also plan to take suggestions for this blog in things that you want to know more about... please send me feedback and suggestions.
Until the next post...
