As August rolls in, the theme of “back to school” is everywhere — but it’s not just for students and teachers. Businesses, schools, and organizations alike can take inspiration from the season to refresh, upgrade, and optimize their technology. 

With hybrid work models, evolving cybersecurity threats, and the need for better collaboration tools, there’s never been a better time to give your IT infrastructure a fresh start. 

This month, SumnerOne is focused on helping businesses transition smoothly into the second half of the year with strategic IT services and technology upgrades that improve performance, security, and efficiency. 

In today’s fast-paced, tech-driven world, businesses face constant pressure to stay ahead of the curve. Managing IT services in-house can be daunting, consuming time, money, and resources that could be better spent elsewhere. That’s why many organizations are turning to outsourced IT services as a strategic solution.

Let’s explore the top benefits of outsourcing IT services and why this approach could be a game-changer for your business needs. 

As businesses continue to adapt to  the constraints and operational risks created by COVID-19, the need for disaster recovery and business continuity processes has become a common topic of conversation. 

No business is too small to consider the risks and challenges that come with disasters or other disruptions. Anything from bad weather to cyberattacks to political unrest can create  circumstances that disrupt daily operations and put  the future of your business is at stake.

Building a successful business requires a clear vision, great leadership, and the hard work of everyone involved. For your teams to be successful, you must supply them with the right tools. So, it’s not surprising that one in every five corporate employees use Microsoft 365, a SaaS application. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is a suite of software applications with protective cloud services for advanced security and device management.

If the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that disaster and business disruption can’t be predicted. Cyberattacks might be the most prevalent risk to your company’s operations, but disruption can come in many different forms—and businesses should be prepared for any situation.

No business is completely safe from the dangers of unforeseen circumstances disrupting its day-to-day operations. A 2017 survey of cybersecurity professionals found that 67 percent of respondents believed a major security breach was “somewhat likely,” “highly likely,” or all but guaranteed at their organization within the following year.
