How future proof is your business’s IT? • Blisstech Solutions

How do you feel that the technology you use in your business is future-proof? A recent study found that 90% of business leaders felt confident that their 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  • 64% worry that their technology might be getting outdated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.

When the manufacturer or software creator no longer supports technology, it’s like driving a car without a service in years. Sure, it might run fine for now, but sooner or later, it will break down (probably at the worst possible moment).

Cyber security is another big concern when it comes to business IT. The study found that 65% of business leaders worry about cyber attacks, and 56% admit that protecting their business from these attacks is a challenge.

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.

So, how can you ensure you future proof your business IT?

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?

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.

If you need help building a technology strategy for your business’s next few years, that’s what we do – get in touch.
