Knowing exactly what you need to do for your IT compliance can feel overwhelming. Where do you start to be confident you’re compliant? How far does your organization’s tech footprint extend?
Ten years ago, when you landed in a new city you probably took a cab to the hotel. Now you can choose to take an Uber to your Airbnb instead. New technologies made this possible and provided people an alternative to the status quo. Similarly, managed IT services in Seattle have changed with technological advancements.
Expert IT support can be difficult to come by, and it’s more important now than ever. The message at conferences, on the evening news, and in magazines is clear. As a leader, you need to be aware of the risks to your organization and you need to take action to protect your sensitive data from attacks.
Recently we stepped in to assist a local nonprofit agency with what many would call a “good problem to have.” They were presented with the opportunity to take over another territory which would double their size. At that time, they employed a small internal IT team with some external consultants. The leadership team realized their current approach was not scalable to support the organization as it grew. The decisions they had to make “in the moment” would have a profound impact on the success of the organization for years to come and caused them to need extensive IT help.
You need a security IT consultant you can rely on to keep your systems secure. When the holiday season rolls around, the Elf on the Shelf becomes Santa’s partner to keep an eye on everything. The same concept holds true for your network security.
Your employees need to have uninterrupted access to line-of-business (LOB) applications. Critical software systems like your ERP, accounting, and CRM are what enable your organizational processes to work seamlessly. In today’s always-on world, chances are you’ve moved several of your line-of-business applications onto cloud computing platforms.
Seattle is home to hundreds of thriving nonprofit organizations, covering everything from the arts to providing much-needed services to the neediest among us. The city benefits from the generosity of different technology companies willing to provide free hardware and software for use by nonprofits.
Technology is the lifeline of any organization – for profit or not-for-profit. Most organizations rely heavily on technology to connect with customers, manage internal operations and to promote their services. While for-profit organizations typically have the resources to invest in technology, nonprofits usually have to be more strategic with their budget and be more careful when allocating their resources.
