If you’re reading this blog, you’ve probably just invested in new technology for your business, or you’re thinking about doing so. Either way, congratulations, as thinking about new technology for your business means you’re motivated and striving to be innovative. New technology allows your business to thrive at its fullest capacity. The use of updated and modern technology will increase your employee motivation, satisfaction, and ease and flow of work. When you get new technology in your business, you’ll want to set up everything properly to ensure organization and safety.
Whether you’re a business owner buying new laptops for each employee, tablets unique to each workspace, or new desktops for the office, you have many choices to make.
Maybe you need more options for your office, maybe you want to provide clients that visit your office with modern and up to date tech, or maybe you want wearable tech like apple watches for your employees while at work.
There are some crucial components to setting up new technology that you’ll want to remember. First, decide who the admin or owner of the technology will be. Will this be listed under the business owner’s name and information? If so, you’ll want to keep this admin name consistent on all of the new devices you’re setting up.
Consider Insuring Your New Technology
When you get the best and most modern technology within your budget, you’ll want to insure each device in case anything happens. Your IT consultant can help you budget for your new technology, ensure longevity, and help keep your new technology safe.
Passwords/Passcodes For New Business Technology
Be sure that all of your new technology is password or passcode protected. When employees are logging in and out of accounts, advise them to always uncheck the “remember me” or “keep me signed in” boxes. Choose passwords that are original to each account, and never use the same password. Look into multi-factor authentication for your accounts and devices.
Keep Everything Logged & Recorded
Organization is key with new technology. Record all passwords, accounts created, users, admins, and any relevant notes. Log each time you update or make major changes on devices. If you have multiple devices, consider naming or numbering each one to keep things organized and accounted for.
Properly Train Employees With New Technology
If your employees are trained to use the new technology properly, you’ll increase the longevity of each device. Be sure everyone is on the same page with creating accounts, updating as needed, and storing things properly as you go to optimize storage as best as possible.
