It’s not easy running a business. All kinds of things can interfere and disrupt operations. Today, most businesses rely on their business technology to keep everything running smoothly. Technology failures can be a huge headache, and can seriously affect a company’s bottom line. There is a way to protect against this: managed IT. Outsourcing your IT to an expert provider could make all the difference when technology goes wrong.
Risk Reduction
All business owners deal with managing risk on a daily basis. Running a business is inherently risky and successful businesses are built on effective risk management and mitigation. Making use of IT professionals to oversee your IT system – in whole or in part – is a smart strategy to mitigate risk. The IT experts at Quikteks strive to provide organizations with the technology that’s right for them, and to ensure that the right measures are in place to keep IT systems functioning optimally.
Shielding Your Business from Cybercrime
Small business owners often don’t consider managed IT as an option, even though it’s been available for some time now. Yet it can be the most effective and affordable way to manage your cybersecurity. Most people are aware of the scale of cybercriminal activity in the present day, but not many are up-to-date with the latest and best strategies for protecting their businesses against it. IT professionals can advise on the latest and best solutions, as well as helping you to formulate a continuity plan in case of a cyberattack or other disaster that affects your security and data access.
3 Ways to Keep Your Business on Track
1. Proactive Management
The best way to ensure business continuity is to stop problems arising in the first place. We monitor and manage your network and hardware remotely. That means you won’t have issues with issues like hard drive failures, and we’re alert to any potential issues early on. It’s the smart way to avoid downtime and the hit to your productivity and profits that tech failures can cause.
2. Threat Prevention
The scale of the threat caused by cybercrime today is massive. Malware, ransomware and phishing attacks can all have a catastrophic effect on a business. A multi-component system for protecting your network against cyberattacks, including firewalls, spam and content filters, and a virtual private network (VPN) are some of the key measures for repelling cybercriminals.
3. Data Backup
There are many ways your vital data can be compromised. Fires, natural disasters, hackers and even simple human error are some causes. If you lose your data, or lose access to it – even temporarily – your business could grind to a halt, with potentially critical consequences. You can’t afford to skimp on an effective data backup solution. We can ensure that your data is backed up regularly, and stored both on-site and remotely in the cloud, so access is assured and downtime can be kept to a minimum.
