Outsourcing Connectivity: Technology Best Practice
Toto, we’re not in Kansas anymore (it’s all changed!)
If you are like most small and midsized business, you figured out a long time ago why outsourcing your investment strategy made sense. Back then, all the different aspects of Business finance were handled by different “specialty companies”. Today, not only have those lines been blurred, but you are at a serious disadvantage (and perhaps at risk) if your financial needs (bookkeeping, billing, taxes, payroll, accounting, etc.) are not fully integrated, coordinated, and optimized. Technology is much the same story, but with even more dire consequences if all the pieces are not designed, and more importantly maintained, to work together to create a technology “symphony”. For example, if your technology is not aligned, even the best integrated business financial systems won’t work!
Connectivity (internal and external) is what enables all of the amazing technology functions to work for you. There was a day when an internet connection was as simple as plugging in an extension cord, but bandwidth consumption (doubling on average EVERY 2 years for the last 10 years), sensitivity to bandwidth quality (voice, video, conferencing, etc. applications), the myriad of devices concurrently operating (computers, wifi, printers, wireless, etc.), and inadequate network designs (the traffic cops of your connectivity) have escalated the criticality and sophistication of connectivity to the top of the list.

Have you added any new devices to your network?
If your connectivity was optimized originally, new devices, wireless, wifi, expansions, etc. may have negatively effected the network. Some fine tuning often has amazing results.
Furious over that dropped video conference proposal?
Technology is great when it works, but often fails at the worst moment because you had no idea you were operating at the very edge of your systems limits.
