Why outsourced IT always beats DIY
Did we ever tell you about our friend Dave? Dave’s a business owner, just like you. And, maybe just like you, Dave struggled to let go of some of the things he did in his business. Whether it’s because you’re trying to save money, you don’t trust anyone to do things as well as you do, or maybe there’s another reason, one thing’s for sure: when you try to do everything yourself, you hold your business back. And that includes DIY’ing your IT. Our brand new guide tells you exactly what happened to Dave, and what he should have done way, way sooner.
How proactive monitoring will help your business weather any storm
You’re the captain of your own ship and have an excellent crew, you are prepared for anything! Or so you thought. Then one day, out of the blue, a massive digital kraken tentacled its way into your ship’s systems, causing havoc. What you needed was a vigilant lookout, alert for any small sign of danger. This is the difference between being proactive about monitoring your business’s systems, or reactive. We all know that prevention is better than cure. Our latest guide explains everything you need to know about proactive monitoring for your business.
Secure Your Data Under Lock And Key
The data in your business is invaluable. Without it you wouldn’t have much of a business left, would you? So that data must be kept safe… and one of the best ways to do that is to encrypt it. That way, even if a cyber criminal gets their hands on it, your data is worthless to them. Our latest guide explains everything you need to know about encryption, and why it’s something you should implement straight away.
Why you’re better in a contract with your IT company
What happens when your business suffers an IT issue? A break/fix relationship with your provider (that’s where you only call them when there’s a problem), can mean unexpected costs and delays. Whilst break/fix is a solution that works perfectly well for some businesses, having a contract with your IT partner gives you peace of mind. Knowing your business will take priority if an issue arises. In fact, with a contracted IT partner you may not even know there’s been a problem… thanks to proactive monitoring, the issue may have been spotted and fixed before it affected anyone. In our latest guide we talk about break/fix vs contracted IT support, and the benefits for your business.
90% of cyber security attacks start with an email. Why?
Did you know it can just take one email to bring your entire business to its knees? A surprising 90% of cyber attacks begin with an email, and if you and your whole team are reliant on email every day, your chances of falling for a scam increase. Fortunately, there are lots of smart things you can do to reinforce your email security and keep your business and its data safe. Our latest guide tells you what these things are and how you can implement them to stay safe.
Windows 10 is reaching end of life – Your Options

In our latest guide we explain the options your business has, as well as what you need to consider for each one.
