The Best Customer Service for an IT Provider

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you got a good break in before the 2024 work year begins. I hope you weren’t hoping for too much sun, as it’s only felt like summer in patches. Our 2023 year finished with a few games of Darts down at Oche on Elizabeth St before heading up to Gingerboy for a banquet for the ages. Earlier in the month, we had our first photo shoot with the team. ...

Data Privacy Laws: Protect Your Business and Customers

Not a month goes by without the clear and present danger of another cyberattack on an Australian business. In the last few weeks, millions of Australians have had their data stolen by hackers attacking Latitude Financial.  Many Aussies would be surprised to learn that Latitude Financial held sensitive documents dating as far back as 2005 from the previous owner, GE Capital Finance.  Simple, interest-free purchases made at The Good Guys or JB Hi-Fi have now ...
How Intuitive IT uses Power BI in our own business

How we use Business Intelligence (Power BI)

As organisations want to understand their businesses better, more and more conversations are around Business Intelligence or BI. The more meetings we have around BI, the more we realise that outside a specific scope of existing reports and data, owners and management aren't really sure what other insights they need. So inevitably, the question of how we use Power BI or Google Looker in our business is asked. Here is one way we use Business ...

Creating Impactful Dashboards with Microsoft Power BI

It wasn't that long ago that many companies heavily relied on software such as Microsoft Excel to help provide reporting and analytics to manage their business.  Working through tabs, filtering data sets and looking at brightly coloured graphs was part of many Monday sales meetings. That's if you had colour toner; otherwise, you looked at monochrome reporting that all looked the same.  Thankfully, those reporting days are behind us.  Today you can communicate complex information ...

Future Tech Revealed: What’s New at CES 2023?

A quick peek around your home office will uncover a range of gadgets and tech purchases made over the last few years. When we were all stuck at home, you may have invested in new Apple AirPods, upgraded your TV or finally set up your desk with a second monitor to avoid hunching over and squinting at your tiny laptop screen.

These Data Privacy Trends Will Impact Your Business

You know what it's like when you have a new neighbour move in.  Questions you ask yourself. Do they have young kids? Any pets? Will you all get along? And like most people, you want to respect each other's right to privacy. But if you live in the outskirts of Melbourne, that can be easier said than done. With Melbourne's rapidly growing population and housing estates bursting at the seams, land availability continues to be ...

How PowerBI Can Help Your Business Make Better Decisions

Every six months, we email our clients a business survey. We do this to ensure our IT recommendations align with their business goals. One of the critical questions on that survey is in the format of finish this sentence. I could do my job better if I knew... I love this question. It makes everyone pause and consider this carefully. We're so busy doing our day-to-day tasks, we forget to step back and consider how ...
Time for infrastructure review with Intuitive IT

Is a Technology Infrastructure Review on your Santa List this Christmas?

“Um…well…that’s interesting. The room falls silent. Shock. Did that happen? You thought it was the most wonderful time of the year. Or it was when you walked into the room. But there is always one joker in your team that thinks their gift is hilarious.  While everyone around you is opening up thoughtful gifts like the latest Jamie Oliver cookbook… a pair of scotch glasses, or some Happy Socks…. you're staring at some tea towels. ...

5 Must-Know Critical IT Policies for Melbourne Business (Small and Big)

You stop stone cold. The streets stand still, and to your right… you're face-to-face with a tram. Somehow you've held on to your piccolo. Even though you're sweating bullets. But the tram driver looks at you and shakes their head. You look back…mouthing "I'm sorry", taking a step back. It drizzles (how Melbourne) as you look around the deserted Bourke Street mall. DJs have moved to one side, but the rest of the mall is ...
Oh no I forgot my phone

5 Critical Steps You Must Do When Your Mobile Phone Is Missing

You're sitting in a taxi, frantically checking your pockets, your bag…where did you put it? Then, suddenly, it dawns on you. As your plane levelled at 35,000 feet, you slid your smartphone into the seatback pocket.  But now you are cruising home along the Monash Freeway (sorry, crawling along the Monash). And you can't believe you have left it onboard. It's 2022, and no one wants to go to an airport. Tullamarine is no different. The ...
