IT Strategy

2021 has been another year of “unprecedented times” as the COVID-19 pandemic has continued long past what many expected. With this continued level of uncertainty, it’s more important than ever that organizations have their IT in order and prioritized. Our team here at TechMD have put together three top IT priorities for 2022 to help you be prepared for the ever-changing IT landscape.

Many organizations already have Microsoft 365 licenses but are not fully leveraging the productivity, collaboration, and security features that come built-in with Microsoft 365. Learn how you can maximize ROI with Microsoft 365 and take advantage of some of the key features that most businesses overlook.

Microsoft 365 comes with a suite of productivity tools that seamlessly integrate with one another, allowing organizations to manage their workflow, communications, and storage all in one place. Microsoft Planner is Microsoft’s task management tool that makes it easy for teams to collaborate and organize their work visually.

Internal communications can be a headache—we’ve all received emails that were longer than they needed to be, and many of us have probably sent long emails that never got read. But there’s a better way: start sending short videos instead of long emails with a tool like Microsoft Stream. 

On today’s Tech Talk, we’ll be discussing business intelligence (or BI for short), which is a process for discovering trends or patterns in your data and then presenting them in a visually-engaging way. Seeing your data fully visualized helps you understand what’s happening across your organization and helps informs your decision-making.

2020 was an unprecedented year, and businesses with inflexible IT solutions had a rough time during the pandemic. And with continuing uncertainty, most organizations we talk to are trying to avoid getting surprised by sudden IT issues and costs over the upcoming year. Here are three key priorities to make sure your business isn’t caught off guard by IT in 2021.

Most business leaders know how important cybersecurity is for their organization. On today’s Tech Talk, we discuss how the nationally-recognized NIST Cybersecurity Framework can help any organization understand where they are in terms of cybersecurity, where they should be, and how to get there.

Communication and collaboration are imperative for the success of any organization. That’s why today, we’re going to introduce Microsoft Teams, a robust communications platform that enables you to have chats, meetings, calls, and so much more all in one place.

Microsoft 365 is filled with a variety of features that benefit businesses and the technologies they use, both in security and collaboration. In this Tech Talk, we’ll review five top features in Microsoft 365 you need to know about to secure your business from today’s threats and boost productivity.

The coronavirus pandemic has drastically accelerated the pace of cloud adoption, as organizations nationwide were forced to migrate to a fully remote workforce in a matter of days. Even as many organizations return to the office, remote work and cloud infrastructure is here to stay. Here are our top 5 cloud trends for small and medium businesses.

While we anticipate the re-opening of the economy, most organizations across the country are still working through tough decisions about how to best conserve cash.
