As lovely as it is to keep up with the latest models of phones, laptops and tablets… unless you have an endless pot of money, it just isn’t realistic.
But when your devices are really out of date, they can start to expose you to all kinds of problems. And I’m not just talking about how much slower they’ll run.
Older devices are at a higher risk of attack from malware and hacking. That’s because they aren’t able to run the most current protection.
It also means that at some point you may not be able to run the most up-to-date versions of the applications that you use, because the device wouldn’t support it.
That means you’d have to work on an unsupported version. And it also puts you at risk of attack. When things go wrong, you’d have nowhere to turn to rectify it.
We’re not suggesting you need to run out and upgrade all of your devices. But it’s vital that your equipment’s functionality meets your business’ needs.
If you’d like some help to identify any changes you may need to make, we’d be delighted to help.
We have no idea when the lockdown will end, of course. Or how any kind of phased return will work.
But we do know it WILL happen. So it makes sense to be as prepared for it as you can be (those businesses that were fully prepared for working from home had a much less stressful experience when the lockdown started).
There are three areas to consider:
People: If it’s a phased end to lockdown, you might have some people at work and some still working from home. You need a plan for every scenario
Hardware and software: What’s been difficult during lockdown? What’s caused frustration? What needs to be upgraded or changed?
Data: Now’s the time to check your data security hasn’t been compromised in any way, by all the recent unplanned changes to your setup.
If you need help pulling your “end of lockdown” plan together, or making it happen quickly and efficiently, we can help.
