How future-ready is your school’s or business’s IT?
How do you feel about the technology you use in your organisation? A recent study found that 90% of managers / leaders felt confident that their IT systems today are “best in class”.
But how about tomorrow?
The same study showed that:
- Only 39% felt confident that their current IT system was future-ready
- 64% worry that their technology might be getting outdated
- Around half the tech used by organisations was at its end-of-life.
When technology is no longer supported by the manufacturer or software creator, it’s like driving a car that hasn’t had a service in years. Sure, it might run fine for now – but sooner or later, it’s going to break down (and it’ll probably happen at the worst possible moment).
When it comes to your school’s or business’s IT, cyber security is another big concern. The study found that 65% of managers / leaders worry about cyber attacks, and 56% admit that they find it a challenge protecting their organisation from these attacks.
Nobody can control whether their organisation comes under attack – but you can make sure your organisation is prepared. The best way to do that is by keeping your IT systems up to date and investing in the right security tools.
So, how can you make sure your organisation’s IT is future-ready?
- Take a good look at your current setup. Is your tech starting to slow down? Do you need to start replacing your hardware or software?
- If your business tech does need updating, don’t wait until things have stopped working. Think ahead and start planning for upgrades now.
- While you’re at it, make sure your team is trained up on how to use the latest tools and systems.
