The new financial year is here, and it is definitely the most uncertain I’ve ever seen, probably up there with the most uncertain anyone alive has seen. Now more than ever, having your business running as efficiently as possible is of paramount importance, and that starts with having the right processes and systems in place. More often than not when we say ‘systems’, we are talking about computer-based systems (like it or not) - and ...

  Hi all,   Another month of lockdown and I think I’m getting Stockholm syndrome - COVID-19 is just misunderstood, it only wants to be friends; really good friends. Who needs the outside world when you have a pair of ugg boots and a heater for company?   On a more serious note, there are a few short items I’d like to go through today - firstly, with lockdown restrictions easing, some staff returning to ...

How technology can be an opportunity and not a threat during Coronavirus   Hi all,   It’s now clear that the COVID-19 pandemic is going to leave a long term, if not a permanent mark on how businesses do business (and society in general operates) going forward.   This month I want to talk about what we’re doing at Intuitive IT to streamline our business systems. We’re using this uncertain time as an opportunity to ...

We can now sit with you, virtually Never before has so much changed in the world between two monthly summaries. I know that the news and media, in general, is wall to wall pandemic at the moment, and adding to that may only increase the overload, but there are a few things from an IT support and IT services point of view that are worth considering for your business that I’d like to highlight today. ...

This month I have a really simple message - no security issues to scare you with, no fancy new technologies that will make your business run more smoothly. It’s an email I thought I’d never have to send again, but alas, it’s something that has cropped up twice in the last month. So, without further ado: Never, ever, store important emails in your ‘Deleted Items’ folder! This folder is designed to purge itself at regular ...

Number one on the list of IT priorities this month is the end of support of Microsoft Windows 7 devices - these machines are now unsupported and are a security risk to your business. If you’ve been putting off replacing or upgrading, now is the time! Next on the list - there is a lot of doom and gloom coming from my monthly posts. Hackers are stealing my data, robots are stealing our jobs, my ...

It’s already the last monthly email of the year - it feels like it has gone in a blink. I just want to thank you for making what we do here at Intuitive IT possible, without you and your staff we wouldn’t be here! Have a wonderful break, and best wishes for the new year. Now onto serious matters - if you use Office 365 you need to back it up! Please watch this short ...

Manual procedures around backups are a risk to your business data Hi everyone, Last month I touched briefly on backups, and this month I’m going to go into a little more detail as to why you should have them for all business-critical services. I’ll start by telling you a story - this happened last month to a company (they aren’t a customer of ours) who called us for help. They had their company files stored ...

There comes a time in the growth of any business when the question gets asked: "Do we need an intranet?". Just like any technology, the answer will vary depending on the business. It's a question we get asked regularly. Actually, the question we get asked first is "How do we build an intranet?".
