A client of ours, one that we've been supporting for close to 10 years recently came to us with a question. They have a business of about a hundred staff, with six locations around Australia, with their head office located in Melbourne. They had a national IT manager who was an internal staff member and an IT assistant who helped out with some of the onsite issues in the Melbourne office. To complement their IT, ...

Who will win? Happy belated new year - I hope you were able to take a bit of a break and are back and feeling refreshed. Thanks to my colleagues doing the hard yards, I was able to do just that! Thank you, Michael and Yener! One of the big stories in tech last month was/is the ongoing stoush between the Australian Government and Google. In short, the government wants Google to pay for news ...

Well, we’re almost at the end of this year like no other. It has been a tough one for all of us, and I’d like to say a personal thank you to you and your business for your support throughout the year - without you we wouldn’t be here.

  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 ...

We can now sit with you, virtually Never before has so much changed in the world between two monthly summaries.

Can your business continue if staff can't come into the office? I wish I could tell you what is a beat-up and what is legitimate at the moment when it comes to the Corona virus, and without adding to unnecessary panic, it is a good time to consider some important Business Continuity questions for your organisation. COVID-19 has highlighted the need for businesses to consider their Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) and Business Continuity Plan (BCP). ...

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.
