I just read an article at Life Hack that offered this statistic, ” According to the recent GEM Global report, almost 100 million businesses are launched annually; which comes to over three businesses every second, or 11,000 new startups per hour. For these small business owners all over the world who compete head-to-head against big guns every day, technology is a vital tool that’s leveling the playing field for these entrepreneurs.”
Here in Vero Beach, there aren’t many places to build a career outside of the Hospitality Industries. People who want a new career, or who see the need for certain types of products or services simply start their own company. Company owners will do their due diligence, build a business plan, find an office, hire employees and all of the rest that goes with a startup. But today, that’s simply not enough. Now you need a system or network of servers, laptops, desktops, tablets, phones, and AR that will help you keep all of those plans in motion.
You need a social media presence, a web presence, and a robust computer network to run it all. It’s important to have the right tools available for you and your employees and make certain that lines of communication are open. Both technically, and in person. Studies show that the better we communicate, the more likely it is employees will be happy, and happy employees can make all of the difference in the success of a company.
It’s also important that your data is protected, that you are providing the most up to date security measures for anyone logging on to your system. Hackers abound and they have nothing better to do than to make your life miserable or cost you money to get your data back. These days they don’t just target big companies, in fact, they like to prey on the vulnerable. If you don’t have a full time IT Support staff or even if you do, it’s always good to have some help from an outside source like Unified Techs.
