Imagine how different your business would be without Microsoft 365’s suite of apps and tools. 

It’s a business essential that makes everything easier. 

Now imagine these apps and tools could do more. Imagine they could summarise reports, documents, and meetings. Or analyse spreadsheets and other data to help you make decisions. Or even automate some of those necessary-but-time consuming tasks you do every day. 

With Microsoft’s AI, Copilot, they can.

In our latest guide we talk about everything that Copilot Wave 2 brings to the table, and how to get it set up. If you want to save time and boost productivity, you won’t want to miss it.  

If your employees – or worse, your customers – have started to complain about your phone systems, it’s time to look at a new solution.

Something that works well for everyone, whether that’s making life easier for your team, or giving your customers a smoother experience. 

But what are your options, and which one is best for you?

Cloud Telephony and VoIP phone systems are both excellent solutions, but as we know, every business has different needs. Our latest guide compares both to help you decide which is most suitable for you.

You may think of your email signature as a digital business card.

It lets people know the different ways they can contact you. It might also strengthen your business branding. 

But have you ever stopped to think how all that information can be used for bad? 

Cyber criminals can use your email signature to pretend to be you and trick others out of data or money. Likewise, you may be fooled by a genuine-looking email signature that’s not the real deal.

Next year we’ll say a final farewell to Windows 10 as it reaches end of life.

Microsoft is stopping support. This means no new tools or features, and no more security updates.

If you’re still using Windows 10 in your business, now’s the time to act so you avoid any last-minute panic… or putting your data at unnecessary risk. 

In our latest guide we explain the options your business has, as well as what you need to consider for each one. 

The worst time to decide how to deal with a cyber attack is when you’re right in the middle of one. 

Unfortunately, it’s something you’ll probably need to deal with eventually – small and medium sized businesses are a prime target for cyber criminals. 

It’s a good idea to make a plan now, so that if the worst happens, you and your team are prepared to minimise the damage caused, the money spent, and the downtime suffered.

Our latest guide highlights 5 steps to stop a cyber attack causing the downfall of your business.

Did you know it can just take one email to bring your entire business to its knees? 

Why?

Because a surprising 90% of cyber attacks begin with an email. And if you and your whole team are reliant on email every day, your chances of falling for a scam increase. 

Fortunately, there are lots of smart things you can do to reinforce your email security and keep your business and its data safe.

In our latest guide we tell you what these things are and how you can implement them to stay safe.

What happens when your business suffers an IT issue? 

Whether it’s suspected malware, a data breach, or a computer that refuses to connect to anything, chances are it’s going to cause you and your team downtime. 

And if you only have a break/fix relationship with your provider (that’s where you only call them when there’s a problem), it’s going to mean unexpected costs, lots of waiting, and stress. Plenty of stress.

But if you have a contract with your IT support partner, your business will take priority, the issue becomes easier to fix (because your partner knows everything about your business), and there will be no additional costs. 

In fact, you may not even know there’s been a problem… thanks to proactive monitoring, the issue may have been spotted and fixed before it affected anyone. 

In our latest guide we talk about break/fix vs contracted IT support, and the benefits for your business. 

When you’re sailing along smoothly in business it really does feel like you’re living the dream.

But what happens when things get a little choppy?

Are you able to spot potential issues and stop them in their tracks? Or do you wait for the storm and then remember your umbrella? 

When it comes to your business’s technology, you should be able to spot a digital storm a mile off. And if you can’t, it’s time to make a change.

When you’re running a successful business, you just can’t do everything yourself.

You need to protect your time to focus on the bigger picture: Growing the business. Which means the things that you and only you can do. 

Your IT is one of those things you need to trust someone else with. Once you do, there will be countless benefits to you, your team, and your business.

We’re weeks away from the new year. And this is a great time to start thinking about what needs to get better in 2024.

We believe you should allocate a little more of your business’s precious resources on cyber security.

Because as technology develops, so do the techniques used by cyber criminals to trick you and your team out of your precious data… and ultimately, your business’s money. 

Our latest guide explains what the risks are in 2024 and beyond, and the security measures to stay protected.

Working from home comes with lots of benefits; a better work/life balance, no commute, and a much more relaxed dress code. 

But there can be serious drawbacks too if you’re not taking home office security seriously. 

Cyber criminals are aware that many businesses neglect security for remote workers, so they become a prime target for cyber attacks. 

How can you keep your team’s home offices safer? 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) isn’t just another fad. And it’s not only good for customer service and writing emails. It’s got real potential to help you outpace your competitors, boost productivity, efficiency, and success.

We all hope disasters will never happen.   

But of course they can, and do. So it’s best to be prepared. That’s why a reliable backup system is one of the most important protections you can put in place.

Chances are you know about phishing. It’s where someone sends you a fake email pretending to be someone else. They’re hoping you’ll click a bad link or download a dangerous attachment. It’s one of the biggest kinds of cybercrime. But do you know what the red flags are? Here’s our top advice on how to stay a step ahead of cyber criminals.

Ever been on a video call, and the other person looks and sounds AWFUL? Perhaps they’re staring down at a laptop webcam (never a great angle). And they’re badly lit so look like a criminal. And have a cheap microphone which makes them sound like they’re on a bad phone call? Video calls are here to stay. If there’s any risk your team are video calling like this, it’s time to give them an upgrade. We have advice on improving video calls for all budgets in our new guide. Download your copy instantly.
