What’s your IT strategy for the year ahead? Are your systems designed to support growth, empower your team, and protect your business? Or does it feel like you’re constantly troubleshooting, patching issues, or wondering if your technology can keep up?

New businesses often add IT support only after they’ve established themselves. That can be a short-sighted approach. As demonstrated by this windfarm operator, getting IT support from the start can provide a springboard for rapid and sustainable growth.

Whether you’re a startup or an existing business going through a growth phase, it’s essential to have the right technology in place so your business doesn’t skip a beat as things change. Even with the right business model, if your IT is not up to speed it can hamper your ability to deliver your products and services to your clients.

Let’s face it, in the past the IT infrastructure options for your small business have been limited. You were constrained by the level of risk you would be willing to take on and by the server capacity your budget could afford.
