Having helped create, implement, manage, and restore backup and disaster recovery plans for dozens of firms, the good news is that a solid backup plan is very doable; the bad news is that it’s not as simple as you may think. Here are some experience shares and reality checks.

In honor of National Small Business Week, I thought I’d share some technology tools that are ideal for small businesses.
When I first started my business back in 2000, providing IT services to small businesses, we definitely didn’t have what we do today in the way of easy-to-setup and cost-effective technology tools. If your small business wanted file sharing and corporate email, we would have had to setup your own Small Business Server in your office.

Phishing emails (emails which appear to be from a legitimate sender, asking for personal or financial information) have been around for many years.

Last month, we held our annual awards breakfast. As a small business of 25 employees, it’s a much anticipated day, where we all come together to honor team members who have achieved milestones with the company, as well as those who have exemplified our values.

As an IT Managed Service Provider (MSP), the largest, and most important, group in our company is our technical services team, which is made up of different types of support engineers.

This time of year always brings a slew of articles about “what’s next” – the hot technologies, stocks, real estate markets, movies, music, food – what we should all plan to use/invest in/watch/ eat, etc. Since everyone else is doing it, I figured why not chime in on the topic I spend most of my time in: Small Business IT.
