Disaster Recovery

All businesses are vulnerable to business disruptions such as extreme weather conditions, economic downturns or, as recently experienced, a worldwide pandemic! Having an effective business continuity and data recovery plan in place is therefore by no means a luxury, but an essential part of every business strategy. 

Companies of all sizes increasingly rely on IT systems to deliver products and services. These services manage large volumes of data, which puts them at higher risk of cyber attacks. Some of this data is business critical. 

More and more organizations are becoming increasingly reliant on online business, which has led to exponential growth in digital exchanges of data and information. Thanks to the rapid pace of advancements in technology, organizations can operate more efficiently, while providing products and services that better serve their customers. However, with the greater reliance on online business and widespread availability of more powerful technology, organizations must prioritize their network and data security needs. After all, in the same way that businesses have benefited from advancements in technology, so too have those who engage in malicious online activity.

Cyber attacks and phishing scams are nothing new — organizations all across the globe collectively invest billions of dollars into cyber security solutions to protect their systems, employees and customers against social engineering and phishing attacks. As hackers become increasingly more clever and find new ways to target their victims, cyber security solutions must adapt in tandem. 

For decades, in-house IT services have been a traditional component of organizations of all sizes. Though with the increasing reliance on remote talent, coupled with a move towards greater specialization within many organizations, the case for out-sourced, managed IT services becomes all the more apparent -- particularly for small to midsize businesses (“SMBs”).

As of late, employers all over the world have drastically changed the way that they operate -- many of which, at least for the foreseeable future, have transitioned from an in-office environment to a fully remote one. With many businesses almost exclusively relying on the internet not only for their customers, but also for their internal operations, how they manage their IT infrastructure is of utmost importance.

As more and more businesses transfer their operations online, the need to create a solid strategy to meet their tech needs becomes pressing. Your IT set-up can be thought of as the vehicle that you will use for your journey on the road to business success.

Our CEO, Anzor Zurhaev, recently wrote an article for Forbes with useful tips to help businesses determine whether managed IT services are the right strategy for them.

Cloud computing has become the new standard for how companies and organizations in all industries access, manage, and secure their IT infrastructure. Traditional business tools have been fairly complex and expensive to maintain.
