Let’s face it, your business’ cybersecurity starts and ends with your staff. They need simple, practical directions to follow or they simply won’t pay any mind to it. You don’t want to be the business that deals with significant turnover because security tasks are so demanding that their employees would rather work elsewhere. You will want to take the time to go through every part of your IT and brainstorm potential problems. You will address situations such as:
Video conferencing tools were useful before the COVID-19 pandemic caused the implementation of stay-at-home orders. Now, it is a tool that everyone uses to catch up with people in all types of situations. For the business, it is a huge benefit to be able to meet from anywhere at the click of a button. Since commercial-grade video conferencing solutions need a little more than your individual-license ones, it is important to find one with the features a business needs. They include:
Many businesses typically hold periodic meetings, which is hard to do when an entire team is cooped up at home. As a result, the business slows down as tasks are prolonged and miscommunications create challenges. For efficiency to be preserved, businesses need to be able to continue their typical procedures… but how, if they aren’t all in the same place at the same time to meet?
Video conferencing answers that question, enabling a virtual meeting to be conducted over an Internet connection, using webcams to broadcast video between participants. By unifying a team, ideas and data can be shared and co-workers can act more cohesively to accomplish organizational goals… and video conferencing makes it much easier than other, audio-only options.
Many advancements in technology have been direct responses to the health concerns of the time, and we aren’t exaggerating when we say that these advancements have historically been the ones to trigger massive societal and cultural changes. Today, we have a virus completely dictating the way that we interact with one another: necessitating social distancing, halting travel, shutting down businesses, and otherwise isolating us as we all work to avoid becoming another casualty. Hospitals and other healthcare facilities are now the busiest places, and the economy has taken a major hit.
The average business owner typically prefers to have their workforce located in their place of business, and are not afraid to spend a hefty sum to do so. Utility costs alone for a brick-and-mortar location can range in the thousands of dollars each month. However, with a staff that can work from home, the many of these costs can be reduced (or even removed). The costs of a business’ location will typically outpace even the cost of the computing infrastructure and software, as there are often discounts for these essential business needs and services.
