Is It Time for Change?

Is it time for change?
There are many reasons why company should re-think about improving and upgrading their IT landscape.
If your IT department is in mess your business will be the same. Every good company improves and works on its IT sector all the time. If you want to be successful your IT sector and other company sectors should be running smoothly and without any issues.
5 main reasons why you should improve your IT sector:
Old Software
There are companies that still use very old software. Let's hope your company is not one of them. If your software is out of date it can cause you more problems than you think. Your system might be too slow, and you could have problems working with people from other companies, who are not using old software. You don't need the embarrassment and will look more professional with updated software
Support Contract Out of Date
Your company had a support contract but it has run out. You didn't bother to renew it. What would happen if your system goes down gets damaged or some virus destroys it? It would cost you a lot more to fix it at that specific moment, than have a support contract in place. Successful companies rely on their IT providers and their support contracts. They renew their support contract every year.
Slow Network
How often do you check your company's network speed? Do your customers and employees complain about it? If they are complaining you should listen to them and work on your network speed. If the system is slow, employees are slow, work is slow, and the output is slow. You don't want to lose customers because of a slow network. Your company should be aware of this and regularly check network speed.
Security Issues
How much does your company spend on the security equipment? Is the value of your company security high or low? The main security issue with any company are hackers. They use the internet to break in to your system, steal your valuable information and damage your software and hardware. If you lose certain data; you will lose the respect of your customers. If it happens once, it will happen again. Information security should be one of your priorities.
Staying Competitive
If you don't keep an eye on the issues that we mentioned, you will lose competitiveness. If your company is not embracing the latest technologies, not improving your offers and products, not working with its customers and not taking care of employees, it will be difficult for the company to remain competitive. If the competition is passing you out, you must do something about it, or it could mean the end of your business.
These are the 5 reasons why you should think about improving your IT landscape and your business, too. Hopefully you'll find this interesting and follow the guidelines of improvement.
