As a business owner, you have to wear many different hats. That’s just the reality these days. At month end, you’re an accountant, when employees complain (that’s always fun) you’re in HR, and when you need to make payroll, you’re in sales.
Unfortunately, in many cases, you can’t simply take a hat or two off - what needs to be done needs to be done.
There are no universally accepted solutions in the world of IT. Mac vs. PC, Office 365 vs. Google Apps, PBX Phone Systems vs. VoIP, or On-Premise Servers vs. Cloud, are just a handful of the choices business owners must make. Each one has its pros and cons so it is up to you to understand these differences and pick the solution that aligns with your company’s strategies and goals.
Being in charge of a small to medium-sized business is no walk in the park. You have to worry about hiring new team members, boosting morale, and making sure your customers are happy - all while trying to achieve your business goals. To top it all off, you need to install a proper IT infrastructure that runs smoothly.
Having a proper backup and disaster recovery plan is an essential component to every business - yet is so often overlooked. Whether you’re a large corporation or a small business, you have business data that you wouldn't want to lose. So why aren’t you protecting it?
Think about it, could you imagine walking into your office one day, and finding out that your data was lost? Accounts receivable, customer and prospect contact information, confidential files, important documents that help you run your business - all gone.

Unless you have been vacationing on a remote island (if so I’m jealous and congratulations) then you’ve probably heard of “Office 365”. However, I’m still surprised by the number of businesses who haven’t adopted the technology. The fact of the matter is, all businesses should be using at least a part of Office 365, whether you’re a small business or an enterprise.
