Tip of the Week: Take This Quick Quiz

When a business utilizes its technology properly, the chances of it yielding positive results improve. That being said, technology isn’t a priority for every single business out there. There are some business owners out there that don’t prioritize the latest technology releases, and that’s perfectly fine, as long as the organization doesn’t let it hold them back from greatness.

Some organizations that have been using the same old technology for years might find it difficult to fund improvements to their IT infrastructure. SCW understands that each organization we work with is special and has different needs. The key to your organization’s success might be in the answers to the following eight questions. Consider how your business will answer the following:

Question #1 - What technology do we use?

Question #2 - What business problems do we expect technology to fix?

Question #3 - Does the technology that we use support what we do best?

Question #4 - Do we have the expertise to manage this technology?

Question #5 - What are our biggest IT-related costs?

Question #6 - How long have we been using this technology?

Question #7 - Where do we store our data?

Question #8 - Do we have systems in place to protect our data?

These might seem like they have clear-cut answers, but it’s very important that you think carefully about them and answer them as honestly as possible.
