Is Your Business’s Technology Future-Ready?
How do you feel about the technology you use in your business? A recent study found that 90% of business leaders felt confident their IT systems today are “best in class”.
But what about tomorrow?
The same study revealed:
- 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- 64% worry that their technology might be getting outdated.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 of the tech used by businesses was at its end-of-life.
When technology is no longer supported by the manufacturer or software creator, it’s like driving a car that hasn’t had a service in years. Sure, it might run fine for now – but sooner or later, it’s going to break down (and it’ll probably happen at the worst possible moment).
When it comes to business IT, cybersecurity is another big concern. The study found that 65% of business leaders worry about cyberattacks, and 56% admit they find it challenging to protect their business from these attacks.
While nobody can control whether their business comes under attack, you can ensure your business is prepared. 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 Ensure Your Business’s IT Is Future-Ready?
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 things stop working. Think ahead and start planning for upgrades now. And while you’re at it, make sure your team is trained on how to use the latest tools and systems.
