Spring is here and it’s time to do some virtual clean up! We encourage our clients to be proactive in protecting their business with products like antivirus protection, hardware updates, and a full-service IT support managed service plan. By taking the time to do a little maintenance on your business’ tech, you save yourself time and money later. Here are 3 ways to get your IT in check with Twin Oaks Tech and make sure it’s in gear to support your business for the next three quarters:
Anti-virus
Anti-virus software provides comprehensive protection against a wide range of threats, including viruses, malware, spyware, and more. With real-time scanning and automatic updates, you can have peace of mind knowing that your computer is always protected from the latest threats (and believe me, new ones roll out almost every day!).
Here’s what to look for in an effective anti-virus software solution:
- Real-time scanning: scans your computer in real-time to detect and remove threats as soon as they are detected.
- Automatic updates: updates itself automatically to ensure that it always has the latest protections against new and emerging threats.
- User-friendly interface: is it easy to use and navigate? You shouldn’t have to be a software expert to understand it!
- Comprehensive protection: provides protection against viruses, malware, spyware, and more, so you can rest assured that your computer is always safe.
Replacing old or outdated hardware
While you may be thinking of dusting off your shelves and decluttering your home, have you considered taking a closer look at your computer, desk phone, printer, or any other hardware?
Outdated hardware can slow down your productivity and hold back your business’s potential. We love to work smarter, not harder – and the right equipment helps you do just that.
Here are just a few reasons to upgrade your hardware:
- Increased speed and performance: old computers have old operating systems and that might be holding you back from using the most updated versions of apps.
- Enhanced security: Protect your sensitive data and keep your business safe with the latest security features.
- Better connectivity: Stay connected with your team and your customers with higher speed, more reliable technology
Managed Services
This is something we are super passionate about at Twin Oaks. If your business has 10 devices or more, it’s time to consider a managed service provider to keep you on your a-game at all times. A good managed service plan includes comprehensive support for all your IT needs, including network monitoring, data backup and recovery, software updates, and a comprehensive potential threat assessment to keep your business proactive instead of reactive.
Benefits of managed services:
- Proactive monitoring: 24/7 monitoring to identify and address any potential issues before they become major problems.
- Expert support: Outsourcing a team of IT experts as opposed to having one in-house gives you access to a wealth of background and expertise.
- Cost-effective: Minimizing the risk of data loss or security breaches that can lead to extraordinary expenses.
This spring, take the time to clean up your business and ensure that your IT systems are running efficiently and securely. We are ready to provide you with the highest level of support and protection for your business. Don’t wait until it’s too late – start protecting your business today with Twin Oaks Tech!
