How to bring a mixed office into the technological landscape of today

You need to ensure your team’s technical ability is at a certain level. While the modern office will have members from the early days of the PC boom to the young people currently ushering in Web 2.0, where does your office fall into the mix?

The Pandemic has shown that everyone’s tech experience is at different levels. From people attending Zoom meetings with their microphone off to companies learning that their individual computers can’t support modern requirements, lots of people came up short. So, as you ready your onsite office implementation plan, consider the following.

• When was the last time my IT Department updates our technology fleet?
• If my business lost power, what is our plan for recovering data and continuing operations?
• Has my business been using enterprise software?
• What is my business doing to provide proper internet security?
• Does my business rent server space or do we properly maintain it on-site?

Preparing your services for the modern tech marketplace

When engaging in onsite office implementation, your tech focus will split across four fields.

Mail – When engaging in mail services, your business needs to have the following under control.
