That server from 2019. The laptop running Windows 10 that's lost support. The "temporary" workaround that became permanent three years ago...

Tech debt is invisible until it isn't. And when it shows up, it usually brings friends: downtime, security gaps, and a bill that's twice what prevention would have cost.

Something to think about over the week: what's the oldest piece of technology still running in your business?

Sometimes the best investment isn't buying something new. It's retiring something old.

Most businesses don’t have bad IT. They have IT that hasn’t kept up with where the business is now.

These are the five patterns I see most often after 25 years working with Queensland SMEs. None of them are deal-breakers on their own, but if you’re ticking three or more, it’s worth a conversation.

❗️Attention customers❗️

Mazlin Street will be closed for parts of the day on 16/06/22 and 17/06/22 so the council can reseal the road.

There may be a 10 to 15 minute delay entering and exiting the office. We encourage people to avoid coming into the office if you can.

A business class email system is one that projects professionalism in your communications with clients and service providers. It means that instead of your clients and business partners being contacted from your personal email account (for example, an account held with Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail or others), they are being contacted by you or your employees with an email attached to your domain name (for example, [email protected]). Follow the link to read about the benefits of a business class email system.
