With so many technology options available, it’s hard to know which technology you can depend on. Here are some tips on how to avoid bad technology for your company.
Investing in overpriced/overrated science projects
Once in a while, it’s worth investing in experimental technologies and engaging in the future of IT. However, make sure you do your research. Investing heavily in untried technologies and flaky vendors can be detrimental and cost you more than you gain.
Selecting an “integrated” future
No one can predict the future of technology, so when choosing an IT plan for your business keep this in mind. You’ll want a plan that covers the always-changing nature of technology and not one that binds you to certain programs, solutions and hardware.
Having unenthusiastic employees
Your employees have a huge impact on your business. When it comes to your IT department, they need to be enthusiastic and informed about current technologies. Also, it’s important to make sure each team member is contributing their fair share in projects.
In-house vs. Outsourced IT
Nowadays, outsourcing your company’s entire IT infrastructure isn’t unheard of. There are many benefits of having an outside team that you should consider. For example, you never have to worry about your IT manager calling in sick, because with an outsourced team they’ll always have it covered. Additionally, instead of paying for individual salaries, you only have to worry about the services you receive.
