Small- and medium-sized businesses have a lot on their plates, often with lower budgets and a smaller workforce to complete projects, offer client services, and market products. However, just because a company is smaller in size doesn’t mean that they don’t have to deal with technology problems that impact larger corporations. In fact, sometimes, small- and medium-sized businesses are more vulnerable to tech problems. Here are a few of the most common technology problems so that you can be proactive and plan ahead before these little problems become big issues.
Strategic IT Planning
Large corporations usually have employees responsible for future technology planning and development of products or services, as well as what hardware and software will be needed for them. In smaller companies, however, the responsibility falls on the shoulders of management of business leaders who may or may not have IT experience. Hiring an IT consultant to keep your company aligned with its future tech goals is a great solution to the complexities of strategic IT planning for a few months or even a few years down the road.
Security Issues
Many small businesses mistakenly believe that they are immune to the security threats they read about in the news. Sadly, hackers are becoming more sophisticated and small businesses are being targeted now more than ever before. Discuss with IT security professionals like our team at M&H Consulting about what security issues threaten your company and what vulnerabilities can be shored up before a future attack.
Disaster Recovery
Whether an event is man-made or caused by Mother Nature, a disaster could loom around the corner for your company. Are you prepared and do you know what to do in the case of a data breach or an event that shuts down your business, like a hurricane or flood? Having a well thought-out disaster recovery plan is critical to getting your business back up and running, and being able to access data quickly.
