ICT increasingly complex?

Your ICT is becoming increasingly more complex; what can you do about it? Prevent chaos, outsource to the 1A certified SME partner

As entrepeneur you have many responsibilities which require a constant influx of new knowledge to remain current. One moment you act as CEO, the next as CIO. You are an entrepeneur, so you delegate and cooperate with partners who take care of certain parts of your business. An accountant, a fiscalist, a payroller, a publicity agency and more; this way you can focus on your customers.

In ICT the deployment of specialists is increasing, but still a disturbing amount of entrepeneurs trusts in the ‘cheap’ deployment of friends and family to maintain their ICT. This results in disturbing numbers for SME on loss of productivity by badly functioning ICT systems. Most SME entrepeneurs still think that a computer network is like an electricity network: “deploy once, never look back”. Unfortunately this is not true: an ICT network requires constant attention in order to prevent disruptions. On average a company looses two hours of productivity per employee per month as a result of ICT issues! Count your profits if you can make those two hours productive.
