Most small businesses start out with simple IT device such as desktop computers, laptops, a simple phone system and a router for stable internet connection. However, it is far from enough for a growing business which required an advanced IT infrastructure with network security, connectivity, computing speed, reliability, to enhance their working productivity.

It is important to keep in mind that as your business grows, so too does your cyber vulnerability. Sixty-three percent of small and medium-sized businesses experienced a data breach in 2019. Even more concerning is that since the start of the pandemic this year, 22% of small businesses transitioned to remote work without a cybersecurity plan. Are you prepared for distributions and security breaches?

Ensuring that your IT infrastructure is reliable and secure is fundamental to not only your business’ sustainability, but also your scalability. Smart investments in hardware, software, network services and the right team to manage it all could be the difference between a profitable company and a failing one. Taking shortcuts with your IT infrastructure to save money in the short-term is unwise – even something as simple as poor cabling could make a fancy software application unusable.
