How future-ready is your business IT?

A recent study found that 90% of business leaders felt confident that their business IT systems today are “best in class”. But how about tomorrow? 

The same study showed that:

• Only 39% of business leaders felt confident that their current IT system was future-ready.
• 64% worry that their technology might be getting outdated.
• Around half the tech used by businesses was at its end-of-life. 

How do you feel about the technology you use in your business? 

When the manufacturer or software creator no longer supports their technology, it’s like driving a car that hasn’t been serviced in years. Sure, it might run fine for now, but sooner or later, it will break down (probably at the worst possible moment).

When it comes to business IT, cyber security is a big concern

The same study found that 65% of business leaders worry about cyber attacks, and 56% admit that they find it challenging to protect their business from them.

Nobody can control whether their business comes under attack – but you can make sure your business is prepared. And the best way to do that is by keeping your IT systems up to date and investing in the right security tools.

How can you make sure your business’s IT is future-ready? 

1. Take a good look at your current setup. Is your tech starting to slow down? Do you need to start replacing your hardware or software? 
2. If your business tech needs updating, don’t wait until it stops working. Think ahead and start planning upgrades now. 

While you’re at it, make sure your team is trained to use the latest tools and systems.
