Business + IT Insights

Spending heavily on cybersecurity makes sense given the risk, and can make an executive feel safe. Unfortunately, the major sources of cyber threats aren’t technological.

In any business, innovation is the thin imaginary line between victory and defeat, between growth and stagnation, between a satisfactory year and a great year.

Tomorrow’s IT solutions incorporate agility and brand experience instead of just focusing on rote, back-office reliability. Bimodal IT is an emerging concept that is challenging IT professionals and business leaders to rethink their information technology strategy.

Whether your company outsources IT support, staffs an in-house department or operates on a hybrid approach, your technology team needs to budget, plan and position your company for growth. If this doesn’t sound like your situation, you need to rethink your IT strategy.

As we stated in our last blog, organizations that adopt an agile approach to their IT strategy benefit from reduced costs, improved company performance and a better position to embrace emerging technologies. 

It’s the technology strategic planning season, when most companies contemplate future direction and define objectives around revenue growth, mergers and acquisitions, cost reduction and customer satisfaction.

A new year means emerging technology trends, but which ones represent timely advancements for your business and which ones represent here-today-gone-tomorrow innovations?
