How Data Can Help You Outsmart the Competition

How Data Can Help You Outsmart the Competition

For anyone who has seen the movie Moneyball, remember Billy Beane and the Oakland A's? In the early 2000s, Beane revolutionized baseball with "Moneyball," a radical approach to team building. Faced with a shoestring budget, he eschewed traditional scouting metrics and instead used sabermetrics—advanced statistical analysis—to identify undervalued players. The result? A small-market team consistently outperforming richer rivals, proving that data, not just dollars, could buy success.

Fast forward to today, and the principles of Moneyball are more relevant than ever for modern businesses. In an increasingly competitive landscape, every company, regardless of size or industry, can leverage data to make smarter decisions, optimize resources, and ultimately, build a better business for less.

3 Situations Where Supplemental IT Help Will Be Most Welcome

3 Situations Where Supplemental IT Help Will Be Most Welcome

You might have IT staff in the office, but that doesn’t mean that all of your problems are handled with the time, speed, and attention they deserve. Your people might be overworked and overwhelmed by the amount of work demanded of them, and having coverage at all times comes at a cost—a cost that your technicians (and your business) aren’t willing to pay. Outsourcing helps you make up for this deficit in a way that’s both kind to your team and helpful for your budget.

Technology Upgrades are the Last Thing You Should Postpone

Technology Upgrades are the Last Thing You Should Postpone

If your business’ technology seems to be a-okay, the thought of updating it may seem unnecessary. This is decidedly not the case. Updates are what keep your business functioning (and therefore, profitable), while every skipped update opens you up to vulnerabilities, bugs, and much more severe consequences when you experience a true threat.

IT Updates are Important Enough to Deserve Your Attention

IT Updates are Important Enough to Deserve Your Attention

Updates are critical for the continued utility and security of any computer system or program. That said, updates aren’t always perfect. It’s possible that even a routine update could sideline your critical applications. If this happens, you’re dealing with downtime and failing to serve your customers… all because you were trying to do the right thing and maintain your technology.

Make no mistake: updates are crucial, so to make sure they don’t disrupt your business, they need to be approached with strategy and discipline.

The Most Powerful Word in Your IT Budget: "No"

The Most Powerful Word in Your IT Budget: "No"

Business technology can often put business owners in a tough spot. There are dozens of options out there in terms of hardware and software alike, each promising earth-shattering changes… many with an equally earth-shattering price tag.

This presents a significant dilemma for business owners. While the goal is to innovate and empower their teams, it can seem like many of these tools are simply not worth the investment, but at the same time, denying access feels like denying innovation.

The solution to this dilemma, however, is fortunately simple: leaning on data to inform your decisions and enable yourself to say the dreaded two-letter word: “no.”

What a Successful Onboarding Experience Looks Like

What a Successful Onboarding Experience Looks Like

You probably want a certain onboarding experience for any new hires: meeting the team, getting their computer set up, setting up all necessary accounts, and going through any necessary training. In reality, you’re likely going to spend most of that time ensuring secure access to all necessary resources, and until they get into the swing of things, they’ll feel a little awkward and out of the loop rather than a part of the team. Here’s how you can build a better onboarding process to make sure this doesn’t happen.

You Need to Give Your Business’ Security the Most Stable Base Possible

You Need to Give Your Business’ Security the Most Stable Base Possible

When considering the strengths of shapes, the triangle is generally considered the strongest, its three vertices creating the optimally stable configuration. The same can be said of your business’ approach to cybersecurity. The difference is that, instead of three equal legs working together to support whoever is seated on a stool, your business’ cybersecurity relies on equal investment in three key areas: your people, your processes, and your technology.

Let’s talk about how this holistic approach puts your business in the best position to stay secure, and where many organizations fall short.

How to Predict the “Unpredictable,” at Least Where IT Costs are Concerned

How to Predict the “Unpredictable,” at Least Where IT Costs are Concerned

Some surprises can be lots of fun. That said, any surprise impacts to your business’ IT won’t be.

Whether a server crashes, your wireless connectivity goes kaput, or you’re suddenly dealing with a security threat, the outcome is likely the same: the problem is fixed, but the invoice delivered to you a week or so later introduces a brand-new issue… the bill.

Nowadays, there is no reason for this little scenario to happen. Instead, your IT can be treated as a predictable utility cost without any dramatic surprises to throw off your plans.

A Good First Impression is Critical with Your New Hires

A Good First Impression is Critical with Your New Hires

I’m sure you have some idea of what you’d want any new hire’s first day to be like. They’re welcomed by the team, and brought to their workstation where everything is ready for them to get to business: all accounts are set up, the laptop works, and there’s a game plan for them to follow.

In reality, however, this first day is likely spent obtaining any available laptop and ensuring your new hire has the secure access they need. Meanwhile, the new team member feels increasingly like an outsider, rather than a contributor, as they jump through these hoops. Less appealing than the alternative, right?

Let’s discuss how crucial it is to get the onboarding experience right.

Why Your Business Needs Geographic Redundancy

Why Your Business Needs Geographic Redundancy

Having a backup is always a smart idea, but it is essential to remember that there are different levels of backup that a business can implement. It’s one thing to be protected against a server crash; it’s quite another to be protected against a disaster that destroys your servers, as well as those of every business within a five-block radius. While local backups serve a purpose, they cannot be the only thing you rely on. Real resilience means looking elsewhere to achieve redundancy.
