Welcome to kinda-sorta spring in Minnesota. The awkward time where we desperately try to hold onto temperatures above fifty degrees and our grass need some serious attention. Nevertheless, we have already pulled out our barbeques, enjoyed long bicycle rides, and spent time with our children at the parks. Indeterminate weather cannot keep us hearty Midwesterners down!
On the downside, some of us may be emerging from our hibernation chambers a little rough around the edges and that swimsuit goal may be a little farther away than you thought. However, it’s never too late (or too early) to get a jump on your health and wellness.
Speaking of health and wellness, have you checked in with your PC lately? Sometimes it is easy to forget your technology may need a little TLC as well. There are some easy ways to check-in on the health of your PC and other technology. However, it can seem like a lot when you are also trying to run a business. By partnering with an IT services provider like Vodigy you can take some of that stress off your shoulders.
Keep it updated
Technology support means a lot of things, one of the largest of them being keeping everything updated. Most businesses utilize at least a few pieces of software when it comes to managing their everyday operations and when they are not functioning properly, everything can come to a screeching halt.
One of the biggest ways you can keep software bugs from interrupting your business is by keeping everything updated. Check out one of our past blogs for some more specific content related to software updates, plus some good stories.
At Vodigy, we keep an eye out for you. While most software and PC updates will prompt you automatically to update, some require more urgency than others. At Vodigy, we will be sure to keep on top of managed IT service and cybersecurity related news to ensure your infrastructure remains functional and protected.
Let's Office-Space it
We have all dealt with the one printer, scanner, or fax machine that lives to make you question your sanity. Having to deal with that on a regular basis is a headache to say the least. Whatever the reason, sometimes you might just need a replacement.
Technology is consistently evolving a rapid pace. Unfortunately, this means that technology can become quickly outdated if you are not paying attention. You can find our guide for replacing your business technology here.
An easy way to keep on schedule and on top of your technology is by having someone else do it for you. With Vodigy, you can be assured that the correct and most reliable technology is procured for your business. Sensing a theme here?
Cybersecurity is the name of the game
IT cybersecurity services continues to be one of our clients’ top interests when it comes to their IT infrastructure.
Tensions have been especially high due to the current geo-political climate, and many are finding that their current level of cybersecurity just isn’t enough. At Vodigy, we employ a multi-layered approach to cybersecurity. Protecting everything from emails to critically sensitive data.
One of the many ways we accomplish this is by enabling Multifactor Authentication (MFA). When utilizing this security function, users are required to submit additional information beyond username and password credentials. This may seem like a pain or an unnecessary step, but we assure you it is worth it.
For example, if a cybercriminal were to gain access to a user’s email and password combination with MFA enabled, the results could be catastrophic. The cybercriminal would have unfettered access to other inboxes, company data, and other sensitive information. With MFA enabled, the road stops there for a cybercriminal. Without that second validation, the cybercriminal will be unable to access any information and Vodigy would be immediately alerted to the threat.
You may be in the pattern of thinking that this won’t happen to me but unfortunately, some people just like to watch the world burn. Right now, cybercriminals are launching all out assaults for the shear joy of wreaking havoc. Don’t let your business be a victim.
The bottom line
Health and well-being is important all the way around. Take care of yourself, take care of your business – and let Vodigy take care of your technology. We are your trusted partner in managed IT services.
