Embrace the Change: Why Businesses Should Reinvest in IT [FUN Friday]


FUN_Friday_Blog-_Embrace_the_Change-_Why_Businesses_Should_Reinvest_in_ITInvesting in IT is not an easy decision for business executives to make. There are a lot of factors that go into this decision making process and a lot of research as well. However, it is one of the most important decisions a company can make. Not many realize that IT is the backbone of companies (click to tweet).

Without a good system in place, human errors, bad communication, limited commerce opportunities, and many more inefficiencies can occur. The business world is ever changing and the companies that have the ability to adapt and respond to new challenges and opportunities are the ones that will survive and succeed. It’s time to embrace the change of implementing updated affordable software systems rather than fear it (click to tweet). Read more

Data backup, recovery, disaster; three of the most sensitive topics for business owners and executives. Questions that are being raised more and more, due to the accessibility and affordability of technology in small to mid-size enterprises, include ‘How much time does it take for my business to go back to normal in case of data loss caused by a natural disaster or hardware malfunction?’ and ‘what is the committed response time of IT professionals in case of a disaster at my company?’ The goal of course of every executive is to reduce business losses (revenues, data, time) by having the quickest recovery possible.

I will not tackle comparisons between different mobile platforms (i.e. Apple, Samsung…), since I have already addressed this in a previous post Mobile business applications: Apple vs Samsung Tablets comparison, which I invite you to read and share its content.

Mobile business applications: Apple vs Samsung Tablets comparison

Whenever a project to implement a mobile business application within an enterprise comes to the surface, executives, IT personnel as well as operation managers, start debating about which option would be the best suited for their business. This is a valid question, but unfortunately there is no one single answer. It all depends on the business needs, the requirements, the compatibility of the mobile device with the features requested and obviously the budget that the company has to spend on equipping its personnel with such devices.

The debate within the enterprise, about which one would be the best, Apple versus Samsung tablets (since these are the major players in the mobile market) or any other brand is primarily based on each person’s own experience with one or the other. While all opinions and arguments are valid and impossible to contest, the last word in such projects is the cost and the different IT parameters required to maintain the pool of mobile devices that will be deployed within the enterprise.
