Welcome to May, that time of year when the warm weather and the tax refunds make everyone grin. You’re not alone if your business’s refund is burning a hole in your pocket. We’re here to help you suss out the smartest way to spend your extra capital.
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, our number one suggestion is updating your office machinery and software to Windows 11. This fall will see a big shift for those companies that do not adequately prepare for Microsoft’s EOS (end of support) for Windows 10. If you fail to update in advance, you are putting your entire organization at risk of security breaches, lost device connectivity, and decreased productivity. Avoid it all by taking the time to migrate now!
Our second suggestion is an easy guess when considering recent headlines: handle purchases vulnerable to tariff related price changes. If you’ve had your eye on any new security cameras, laptops, wifi access points or other gear, now is the time to buy. The last month has shown us: the market changes every day. If you can afford to lock in new equipment now, we suggest you do so. Current prices are higher than in January, but they might be even higher by September.
Our last suggestion is to play a little offense. With the rise of AI, phishing attacks are becoming more sophisticated every day. While poorly planned scams are the subject of memes, more complex gambits can trick even the most savvy of users. All it takes is one slip, and the aftermath can be devastating. Spending resources in this sector can sometimes mean software, but it often comes in the form of user education. David has a lot of experience teaching, and he’d be happy to help train your staff or lead a security refresher course. Spend your resources beefing up your business’s digital security, and you’ll sleep better at night.
