The High Cost of Recovery

 

 

recovery

Small to medium sized businesses are what keep this country moving. Unfortunately, for many of these business owners, budgetary needs force them to make cuts that the mammoth corporations do not have to consider. These budget cuts can often result in reduced security and sub par IT services that in the long run can end up costing the company even more money.

Recent surveys have suggested that many companies end up spending more time and money recovering from a security breech or IT security attacks. This comes as a surprise to many small and mid-size companies who are under the false impression that hackers and other security threats target larger corporations. It has been discovered that companies that have less than 500 employees are actually more likely to be at risk of an attack than a larger corporation. Of course, this becomes a problem when the larger corporation has the resources to maintain higher levels of security at a time when smaller companies are dealing with restricted or in some cases frozen IT budgets.

 10 Emails You Should Never Send

 

Here's a scenario most of us are familiar with, whether first-handemail or as a witness to a colleague's faux pas: an email with a crude joke or a funny picture that crosses into the personal-email realm is sent to a cluster of friendly internal contacts and accidentally included on the recipients' list is the company CEO. Embarassing for the sender? Yes. Grounds for dismissal? Unlikely.

What can prove far more detrimental to your career, however, is the way you compose your everyday emails. We often treat email communication in the same casual manner as we do informal telephone conversations, and it's all too easy to forget that there's a flawless digital record of what's been communicated.

Unlike verbal conversations, emails can be forwarded to the wrong people. Likewise, if a message is written in a hurry, it can end up sloppy or leave itself open to misinterpretation and, as a result, it can have nasty repercussions. It's always better to think before you send.

 7 Ways Technology Saves Money

 

bankEvery small business owner knows that new technology can be pricey. But technology can also pay in the form of significant savings - particularly over the long hual. Savings from technology isn't just a matter of plugging in a new gizmo and watching the cash roll in. You have to evaluate your priorities and choose the right technology that meets your operating and budgetary requirements. With that approach in mind, here are seven ways that technology can save your small business money:

1. Cut down on paper use. Not only is excessive printing expensive, it's a needless waste of a valuable natural resource. To cut down on printing costs, Andre Preoteasa, IT director at Castle Brands, a New York City importer of premium spirits, suggests investing in a duplex printer: "It can print on both sides of the page - you cut your paper use in half, thus half the cost. It's particularly valuable when printing draft documents."
