There are few types of businesses which do not use information system technology. Even for businesses like landscaping where most work is hands on, physical and outside, the business end of your company will likely use computers. They are simply to efficient at everything from scheduling, mapping, billing and communicating to overlook them as a tool for the company. When the company grows and more computers arrive at the office, the method for handling desktop management must be considered.
The idea of using precious manpower slots to have professionals who focus largely on the set up and care taking of the information technology network would have seemed foolish only a decade ago. But technology has changed and now the internet is an integral part of business and one of its biggest threats. Keeping the system running smoothly and free of attacking programs designed by people with talent but an antisocial streak is a full time job.
The advent of an internal electronic mail system alone can increase productivity dramatically, allowing employees to contact one another regardless of the time of day or geographic separation. A single mass email has the greatest probability of getting to a group of employees in the fastest possible way than any other. Once transmitted, each employee has the exact same information waiting to be retrieved at their convenience. Once initiated, email usually becomes almost a habit, with employees checking for information on a very regular basis.
It is also possible to reduce the cost of software through the use of networks, both in discounts to the required number of copies needed for purchase. Another means of realizing savings comes in the reduction to the manpower required to install and service these programs. With capable technicians, a company can ensure that its employees have the information technology they need to do the job at the lowest costs. The business and employees benefit from the ability to stay in touch with and service clients and accounts from anywhere without traveling, and when they do have to travel, they remain in contact with the home office for support and direction. The gain from the technology, however, can be lost without qualified personnel dedicated to keeping it running smoothly. Every software maker touts their product as a plug and play process that requires no special training or knowledge. To their credit, most of the time that works out pretty well. But regardless the effort and intent, there are simply too many ways to install too many types of programs for the makers to evaluate and prepare for. This leave the occasion where installing a seemingly simple program hijacks the system and freezes or other wise compromises the entire network.
Occasionally employees will bring work home, enter it into their home computer and do their magic, then bring it back to the office. While the energy of the employee is to be commended, the possibility of the thumb drive picking up software that can harm your system exists. A set of professionals dedicated to installing a system and protective protocols to ensure there are no problems is more than worth their money.
When employees introduce software from home, they risk circumventing preventive efforts by the desktop management team to keep malware out of the system. It is complicated enough to fight the constant attacks from the external world of the internet. Protecting from intrusions within the firewalls and other protective measures is difficult, costly and inefficient and a bane to the technicians working hard to keep the system running.
