Our country is planning to partially reopen soon, and while this is exciting, there is still work to be done. Testing still needs to be perfected, a vaccine is still in the works, and our economy has an extreme amount of recovering to do. Economists are not worried about how the economy will bounce back because we are not in a Great Depression scenario.

They are predicting, as of now, that once people get back to work our economy should return to normal. This is fantastic news, but work has to be done for the economy to go back to its high levels. Information technology can play a huge part in making this happen. 

What happened to the economy?

For the immediate effects of the coronavirus pandemic on the economy, economists are not very optimistic. This has to do with the attitude of employers, employees, and customers alike. Until there is a cure, everyone will be more cautious about how they operate in their daily lives. This included businesses that are reopening.

Employers may not bring everyone back, employees may not be willing to come back to work, and customers will be cautious about what they purchase and from where. Many small businesses will not recover from this or will see lasting wounds that will take much longer to heal. With all of this happening, the economy could take years to recover. A cure or working treatment can change the attitude. This can lead to a quicker turnaround for the United States economy can potentially happen much faster. Until all of this happens and our country tries to reopen, what can information technology do to help? 

How IT plays a part

Information technology can play a huge part in helping businesses open up successfully which will in turn help the economy in a huge way. Employees will slowly be integrated back into normal life at work. IT can make a huge impact on making this transition much safer.

Certain companies are already using and developing software to track who interacts with whom inside and outside of the company. This is an easy way to integrate contact tracing. If someone is to come into contact with the virus an alert can be sent out. From then, the potentially infected person can be isolated from the rest of the company. From this data, companies will also be able to identify who should be isolated immediately and who should not. This will maximize safety within the company and help to stop the spread of infection. 

Another simple IT tool helping companies get back on track and contributing to the GDP of the US economy is a scheduling management system. These systems will easily help managers track what people are in the same areas and at what time. The scheduling tool and the interaction tracking software will make sure employers know exactly who is where and when. So, if a case of coronavirus happens within the company, immediate action can be taken to stop the spread.

With more and more companies using this data, the more we can learn about the virus. Data is still being collected at a rapid pace every day, and the more information we have, the safer people will be. Contributing to the knowledge about the virus as well as keeping track of who has come into contact with whom, can help save lives.

Data can even be analyzed to see if there is a pattern for what type of contact and how long people are in contact to see what action is the safest or most likely to result in contracting the virus. With IT playing a big role now, it will be used forever in helping with medical issues such as the pandemic we are living in now.

Data analytics is becoming a more integral part of the business world in all aspects. From a financial side, analytics can tell a business how they are doing compared to their competition through accessible data. It can also predict financial situations based on a vast number of scenarios laid out for the software to analyze. From a marketing perspective, analytics allow advertisers to see what tactics and strategies are performing well with certain demos, audiences, etc. 

But what can data analytics do in an information technology setting? It can help IT companies understand trends involving operations and make decisions to make their services optimal to all of their clients. Until recently, analytics were being used after the fact. The software would come to conclusions about the future based on historical data. Now the computing power exists for real-time analytics to better understand what is going on and how to better serve each and every one of us. 

How is Data being used?

Data is constantly being collected and analyzed through systems and finding hidden patterns, correlations and other insights to make your business better. With the use of Big Data, companies are learning every day how to improve. They can cut costs, make better, faster decisions, and develop new products and services that their businesses are equipped for. This can lead to a better world where goods and services are cheaper and businesses are running at an optimal pace. Here are the ways data analytics is helping the information technology industry to perform at its best. 

Applications

Analytics can give IT companies insights on how to provide efficient, trouble-free services and operations to assist businesses. One big innovation from this is the cloud service industry. Having multiple people working together on the same app or even the same project from different locations at the same time is a direct result of using analytics to improve the IT industry.

Another way analytics can help business applications is through website traffic. This can predict when too much traffic will be brought to a website, maybe for a special limited edition release of a new product or during the holiday season when people are constantly online shopping. Knowing when these high traffic times will occur can give companies a head start on preparing for it and the analytical tools can even give suggestions on how to help prevent crashing or a severe slow down on a website. 

Security

Cyber security is something information technology companies are constantly working on. Providing a secure network is one of the cornerstones of good IT service and analytics can help with this. Based on historical data, the software can differentiate unusual behavior from normal behavior. When unusual behavior occurs, the software can send an alert to administrators, managers, and business owners so they can act fast to solve the problem if there is a security breach. 

Real-time analytics can also help with cybersecurity. If the software is constantly tracking what is happening, real-time alerts can be sent to whomever needs to be notified. Real-time analytics and historical data can both be stored and analyzed in the same place which allows for a smarter security detection and prevention system for your network. This industry is constantly evolving because cyber hackers are always finding new ways to try to breach your information. With a constantly improving security system, your business will get better cyber security as well. 

Load Management

One concern businesses have with any form of data analytics is how much can the software actually handle? And this is a valid concern. The software will constantly be taking in new information and coming to conclusions based off of the collected data. This is a lot to process, not only in our minds, but for the software itself. Modern analytical tools have this covered.

They can serve thousands of analytical problems per second, making them an optimal solution to all analytical needs. Today, businesses should not have to worry about load management in an analytical sense because the computing power is there. The software is constantly evolving, updating, and becoming better for your business. Data analytics is not something of the future. Businesses are getting ahead of their competitors by using these tools now, so take advantage of the tools at your disposal. Using analytics with IT solutions will make your business smarter and better.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is technology that allows people to configure computer software to emulate and integrate the actions of a human interacting within digital systems to execute a business process. RPA can collect, interpret and make conclusions about data without human assistance if the programming is set up correctly. They can also carry out operations such as banking and financial services, healthcare, and insurance, just to name a few. RPA can also operate more efficiently than humans. It never stops working, and it only functions according to how it’s programmed, so it doesn’t make mistakes.

How can it help?

The technology field is always changing, and robotic processes are here to stay. Integrating processes like these into your business will happen sooner or later, so it might be something to consider doing. One big way RPA can help your business is with improved accuracy. All RPA are programmed to do one thing: follow rules. You only have to give it the command once, and it will never stop working. They are consistent with their work and make zero mistakes according to what you tell them to do. So if an RPA is correctly set-up from the start, you will have an error free way of getting work done at all times. 

Going along with RPA rules allows you to have full control over what it is doing. It will always comply and never stray from what you tell it to do. You can monitor what it is doing 100% of the time. This is great because it allows for growth. There may be times where your business outgrows the RPA programming. You can simply re-program it or give new commands. It won’t miss a beat.

Businesses are always looking to save money. RPA does this as well. Most of the businesses that integrate RPA into their systems see a positive return on their investment within the first year. This investment will continue to save money over time as well, and businesses can potentially save as much as 20% with what RPA is replacing. 

RPA is adaptable to what your business is doing. The systems serve you. With this being said, RPA works great with physical and cloud systems. If your business is thinking about changing to a cloud system, as well as integrating RPA, it is possible to do both. It is also fairly easy because RPA follows the commands you give it. This also makes it a much easier decision when something is changing within your business based on what it needs from RPA. If you don’t need as much, give it the command. If you need a lot more from it, the cost is low, and it is easy to integrate if an RPA system is already in place. 

When people hear about RPA their first concern is “This is going to take my job.” In reality, RPA can make your job easier! RPA systems across the world are making work easier and less stressful for people in all facets of business. It removes activities that don’t add value to your company, and, depending on what field you’re in, it can constantly collect, interpret, and give feedback on data. This can give you or your employees so much more time to do valuable work and improve your company. 

RPA is a part of the changing technology field. The question is not if your company should integrate this technology into your company but a question of when. RPA is something that can help your business grow and improve. Look into how RPA can help your business today.

The cloud is becoming an increasingly important part of not just our businesses but our lives. It’s being used more and more to a business’ advantage. Important data, files, and documents are stored in cloud services at an exponential rate. Cloud Computing is another area of cloud services that can benefit a business. It’s easy to lose track of what a cloud service can do for your company other than store data, so we’ll help you figure it all out as well as develop the proper plan when selecting a cloud service provider. 

What is Cloud Computing?

Cloud computing may be able to help your small business. It interacts with information stored in your cloud service and transforms that into usable information for everyone to see. An example is a software service, like SaaS, where you input your data or information into the software and that data is transformed remotely through a software interface without your computer being involved. The main difference between a cloud storage system and a cloud computing system is that a cloud storage system is just storage. Cloud computing gives the ability to remotely work on and transform data through coding an application as well as other things. 

How Can Cloud Computing Help Your Business?

Cloud computing has made the business world much more simple, even for small businesses. It offers flexibility, productivity, cost effectiveness, and protection. And cloud computing is green. The flexibility allows you to work anywhere at any time. If data is already stored in a cloud, you can give access to employees and clients at any time. Increased productivity happens when time is saved, communication is not an issue, and information use is monitored.

Communication is transparent when all transformations to your data are seen in live time. Collaboration is easier, and, if you need to see who is doing what and where, that information is also available. You will have full control over your information which is not very common these days. 

Cloud computing is cost efficient, and cloud storage is cheap compared to alternatives. With cloud computing, data can be transformed, viewed, and shared from many locations. Information is always secure in the cloud computing system because nobody can access the information unless you give them your permission. Going green is also a benefit of cloud computing. Physical computing systems typically generate harmful by-products, but cloud computing doesn’t have a physical form, so it has no chance to emit harmful toxins into the environment. 

The Correct Cloud Strategy

When your company decides to move to a cloud service strategy, you need to consider how the cloud can best serve you. In other words, ask yourself, “What do I need from this?” You have to remember the services you need could be unique and the world can change drastically overnight. Take these things into consideration when building your cloud strategy so that you make the right choice. Don’t make this decision on your own either. Take into account the needs and concerns from your IT department all the way to general workers and salespeople. This decision will affect everyone at your business. 

The last thing you need to do before selecting your cloud service company is to take your time. Developing a strategy and taking everything into account won’t be something that happens overnight. Weigh your options carefully so that you get it right on the first try and your data is stored, shared, and transformed in the optimal cloud that makes all of this easiest for your company.

The coronavirus pandemic has caused very trying times for people around the world. You would be hard pressed to find someone who hasn’t been impacted in some way. Schools are closed, unemployment rates are high, people are working from home, and many small businesses and large chains are simply not operational during this time. There are many suggestions to getting as much information on the virus as possible. Some are even turning to Supercomputers.

The biggest questions we have are: When will this all be over? When is viable treatment going to be introduced? And when will a vaccination be available to the masses? These are all great questions along with: How will we get the answers to these questions? 

Some entities, including the United States government, have turned to supercomputers to assist with researching the virus. The White House Office of Science and Technology and the U.S. Department of Energy have reached out for help to learn more about the virus. Some of the companies include IBM, AWS, Microsoft and others. Some of the companies include IBM , AWS, Microsoft and others.

What the Supercomputers are actually doing

Together all of the companies helping have assembled 16 supercomputer systems that have 775,000 cores and 34,000 GPU’s (Graphics Processing Unit). This combination of power has not been seen from companies collaborating for the same thing. IBM and their collaborating companies are responsible for running huge collections of data for modeling. Some if the models include molecular modeling, epidemiology, and bioinformatics. These will help to try to collect as much information as possible to learn more about the virus each day.

Molecular modeling is the science of representing molecular structures numerically and simulating their behavior with the equations of quantum and classical physics. These supercomputers are seeing how the virus acts using physics. 

Epidemiology is the application of this study to the control of health problems and how it affects a population (in this case everyone on the planet).

 Bioinformatics may be the most important part of what the supercomputers are doing. It is a rather new branch of data science used for solving biological problems. It is dependent on the first two functions that were previously mentioned. It can lead to how we deal with this pandemic as far as a cure and treatment options. It may even help advise the public on what to do during the pandemic.

What is needed? 

Now that we know what these supercomputers are doing, what do they need to perform to the best of their ability? The answer is simple… data and lots of it. The more data reported, the more analysis tests the supercomputers run. This means the more accurate information about the virus and how to stop it is generated. The numbers being reported to the public and directly to these companies need to be accurate. They are not just collecting data from the United States. They are trying to take information from wherever they can get it. This means if countries are not reporting the correct data, the results from the supercomputers will not be as accurate.

Reporting accurate information is the most important part to the success of the supercomputers. Without it, the results of their analysis would be unreliable and all for nothing. Luckily, the supercomputers have filters to sort reliable data from unreliable data and give different results based on how they sort the information that is presented to them. 

What Progress Has Been Made So Far?

After collecting large volumes of data at all times, the supercomputers are starting to make conclusions about what can be done and possibilities for treatments and cures. After collecting such large amounts of data, the supercomputers are working on models that will be viewed by researchers who work with the data and results. Researchers want to focus on the spread of the virus and mitigation of the spread, drug repurposing, as well as new developments for therapeutic candidates. 

Researchers are also focusing on the effectiveness of social distancing, density of the virus within populations of all sizes, and how to deal with reaching maximum capacity in hospitals across the country. This virus is something that has never happened in our lifetime, so collecting information will not only benefit us now, but in the future as well.

Solutions we come up with can help for generations if something of this nature happens again. Lives are at stake so the supercomputers, researchers, and the companies invested in this are all hands on deck in order to help us decide what our next move will be and how we can put a stop to this pandemic.

With the COVID-19 outbreak there are now a lot of people working remotely from home. This not only complicates communication issues on projects and causes motivation problems to get work done. It can also show cyber security threats that you may not be aware of. There is so much to worry about including the safety of your company’s important files and documents. Other worries can be cloud services, and network. All of which could all be at a serious risk without you even knowing. Now more than ever hacker threats are relevant to everyone. Let’s discuss steps that you can take at home to make sure all of your information and network is safe.

Strong Passwords

One of the easiest ways to stay secure while working from home is to set up strong passwords. This includes not using the same or similar passwords on different accounts. This is because if one does get hacked your other accounts will be safe. A strong password is made up of a long string of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. While these passwords are difficult to remember, there are tools to help. Password Managers Password managers are very helpful and will create, remember, and autofill strong passwords for you so you don’t have to. The best thing is, you only have to remember on strong password.

Another way to assist with strong passwords is to use two factor authentication.This adds an extra step to logging into an account. It will verify that it is someone within your company or yourself trying to log in. The verification step will be in the form of an email or text asking you to verify the login.

Some two factor authentication tools are now using facial recognition or a fingerprint scanner for the second step. This is a sure fire way to make sure you know who is logging into your accounts and when.If it’s not someone who should be on the account, you can decline access with the two factor authentication tool.

Install and Backup

Another way to secure your network at home is to install updates regularly and backup all of your important data. Updates are something that most people find inconvenient, but they are super important to keep up on. Most updates to applications and software contain patches to security networks to keep their users safe from cyber attacks.

Manually looking for updates is not typically something any of us do which is fine. Most devices today are able to update applications and software automatically. You can even schedule them to happen when you’re asleep. Most devices have automatic updates that run from 2 to 6 a.m. depending on your device. This way, updates won’t get in the way of your day to day activities, and you will still be safe from attacks. 

Backing up data is also important for a secure network. If you have fallen under a cyber attack, important data can be completely wiped from your network and lost forever. Backing up your data will make sure all of your important data is always available and never lost. Hardware backups are an option, but, today, cloud storage and backup services are the most popular options. With a cloud backup service, you can customize your backup data and storage options. 

Sketchy Emails 

One thing to be aware of, especially during the time we are living in currently, is sketchy emails. With the pandemic, we should expect a great increase in suspicious interactions from people looking for access to your information. These can be in the form of emails, phone calls and even text messages. These messages, across all formats, will be targeting credit card information and account takeover fraud.

To spot these emails and texts, look for odd email addresses and grammatical errors in the body or subject line and do not click on any links provided unless you trust the sender. If the email does look legitimate and you click on a link, check to make sure it has a “https” and a padlock next to the URL to verify that it is a secure website. 

At the very least we can take one last step to ensure we are safe and it’s a very simple one: password lock your device. This will easily prevent anyone from seeing confidential information on a device and most modern devices encrypt all data until the device is unlocked.

This is not just a time of uncertainty for everyone’s physical health, but for the health of our privacy when we are all put in a more vulnerable position. With the amount of information we have at our disposal, we can take these steps to make a safer home environment to prevent us from cyber criminals. If all of these steps are taken, your network and personal information should be safe whether you are working from home or in an office.

During this time of uncertainty when people are working from home, getting work done can be a challenge. One of the biggest challenges is figuring out how to stay connected with colleagues and how to manage work responsibilities. A few ways to stay connected are video calls, chat rooms, and interconnected systems. 

Video Calls 

Video calls are a key option to stay in touch with your work environment. A few platforms to consider are Slack, GoToMeeting and Skype. These allow your team to feel like everyone is together, discuss current projects, and give updates on clients. They can also be used as a space to set up future meetings. 

Work shouldn’t be the only thing discussed in your company’s video calls. Office banter is something that keeps us all motivated and can be one of the biggest reasons we like our jobs. Your sense of culture and community can be lost during the current quarantine situation, so catch up with coworkers during video calls. This will lead to the sense of community that keeps everyone motivated in the office. 

Chat Rooms 

Chat rooms are a way to stay connected whether you’re in the office or not. They’re a great way to communicate with coworkers while working from home, and Slack is an excellent tool for this. Different threads can be created so conversations about specific topics can be organized, and there is a personal message setting for one-on-one conversations. As previously discussed, Slack also offers a video call setting that can be used for group or one-on-one conversations. Slack is a catch all application for the challenges we face while working away from the office. 

Chat rooms are helpful because they allow for constant communication throughout the day. A video call can be scheduled to meet with everyone, but it may not be ideal every time you need to communicate with a coworker. A chat room allows for a conversation to take place and documents to be shared, so everyone can stay caught up with what is going on. People also like separation of work and home, so a group message thread may not be the best option. This is why we recommend a platform like Slack. 

Interconnected Systems

An interconnected system is probably something your company already uses while in the office. It’s imperative to the survival of your business at a time when things are changing on a daily basis. An example of an interconnected system is Google Drive. This platform will allow everyone to share and edit any document in real time. It’s also easy to access and organize projects on an interconnected system like Google Drive. If you and your company aren’t together, this will help everyone keep up to date on projects and allow for collaboration and feedback on projects without long and confusing email chains or text threads. 

Another great interconnected system that allows your office space to feel like they are all together is Microsoft Teams. With this system you will be able to collaborate on projects together as if you were in the same space. You will never have to frantically search for files again. In Teams you can access, share, and edit Word docs, PowerPoint, and Excel files in real time. Microsoft Teams also allows for text thread chats within your company, individual face-to-face calls, and video conferencing so that you and your team will always feel connected and together. 

In a time when things are uncertain, we have to stay focused on what we can control. Work, whether it’s done in an office or not, is something that will keep us occupied as well as being something we all take pride in. All of these platforms and tips on staying connected will help your company continue producing the best product or service possible at all times.

Spring is a time to freshen our lives. As you begin your annual spring cleaning, one thing you may forget about is your I.T. systems. Getting your I.T. system clean and clutter-free can make it easier to organize and adjust your I.T. system as needed. Here are some tips to spring clean your I.T. department.

Clean Your Enterprise Data

Enterprise data is supposed to: 

• Organize data 

• Precisely define data 
• Easily integrate and effectively retrieve data for internal and external communication

If your data isn’t clean, then all of this may not be possible. Your big data collection will be less reliable and more difficult to retrieve and communicate with other people. One easy way to freshen up your enterprise data is to use an industrial-scale automated approach to filter out irrelevant data. This way your company has the data it wants and will be able to communicate it as accurately as possible.

Always freshen up your data. The actions taking place that are intended to save time and money might end up costing more of both. Now that your data is up-to-date and clean, there are things that can be done to improve your I.T. solutions.

Update and Delete

When looking at your company’s software systems, there may be some clutter that needs tending to. Your company has probably changed or updated software systems being used, but have you to update and delete old software? By removing unused, duplicate, and old software, your company will run much more smoothly. There will be less for your network to support which will save you time and possibly money, especially if you were paying for software that hasn’t been used in quite some time. 

Once your company has gotten rid of all of the unwanted software, it’s time to check for updates on the current software that is in use. Updating your software will maximize productivity for any I.T. needs your company may have. Once you have done what has already been outlined, there is only one more thing that your company must do in order to finish your I.T. spring cleaning. 

Stay Organized

Spring cleaning may not be the most fun and entertaining activity, whether it’s at home or with your company. But there is a way to prevent having to do a fresh spring cleaning every year, and that’s by staying organized. If you stay on top of updates and manage your big data year-round, there will be no need to go through spring cleaning every year.

This is an ever-changing world, so updates are coming almost daily for the software you use. Big data is being collected at higher rates which is great, but it also means there is a need to keep after it more than ever. Then the data will be reliable for you and your company to use on a daily basis.

Once you have done your cleaning, you need to set-up a clear, well-defined plan, so you can keep after it. Devote time to cleaning, updating and deleting on a basis that your company sees fit, so it can maximize productivity and there will no longer be a need for seasonal cleaning any time of year.

What is Business I.T. Alignment? This is an important question to ask when planning for your business’s future. Business I.T. Alignment uses information technology systems in a collaborative and interconnected manner across office disciplines and departments. In an ever-changing world, business and information technology will forever be connected.

The potential for how far information technology can help your business grow reaches new heights every day. However, achieving this dream is a daunting task. Companies cannot answer a very simple question as they embark on this alignment journey, “Where do we start?”

The first step to achieving Business I.T. Alignment is to know where information technology can help your business succeed. Whatever your business is doing, I.T. will be involved. In order to capitalize on its presence, you need a plan as to how much involvement will be needed from a third-party company, like Peak I.T. or your own I.T. division.

This can include monitoring a multi-site network, offering help desk solutions, running constant data backups, providing network hardware, or a myriad of other I.T. solutions. Once you have a plan and a clear-cut vision for where I.T. will be needed, you can move on to review your current Business I.T. Alignment. 

The next step should be to ask, “What is my vision for how I.T. can help my business and how is I.T. helping my business right now?” If you have a clear-cut vision from the previous step, then the first half of this should be easy. Assessing your current Business I.T. Alignment may be more difficult. If this is something your company has put off in the past, you must prioritize where I.T. can help immediately to start moving towards alignment. 

Once you have prioritized where I.T. is needed, then your company can start weighing its options to achieve this alignment. Make about what options you have to solve your problems and weigh each option carefully. Some important questions to ask when considering how to solve your problems can be…

• Do you take the operation in-house or do you outsource it?
• What is the budget?
• How soon can each solution be implemented?
• What is the longevity of the solution? 

Once you have all of these questions answered, your plan will be ready for implementation with a few final actions.

The last few steps in this process are to create your custom implementation plan. This is where all of your planning comes into place with the selected solutions. This should be a written out plan that clearly defines and describes the course of action for everyone involved. It will help make your team and company aware of changes taking place, and the impact it will have, both positive and negative, moving forward.

Not everyone likes change and if your company is going through a big change when trying to align your business and I.T. solutions, regular meetings should take place to make sure everyone involved is comfortable, confident and compliant with the approach. A smooth transition is what every company has in mind and constant communication with a well thought out plan will help achieve this.

Even with a well thought out plan and good execution, you will have to evolve. Constant evaluation of the plan is needed in order to reach alignment and I.T. companies, like ours, can help if outsourcing this task is built into your plan. Like anything else in your company’s life, adjustments to your plan will be needed due to unforeseen changes. The decision to involve more I.T. solutions in your company in order to achieve alignment is a very important one and will soon be unavoidable. Following these steps will help your business grow with proper alignment.

A critical decision any company must make in growing a business is deciding which efforts should be accomplished with team members in-house and what should a business should outsource. When it comes to developing the right I.T. solution, this decision has a drastic and direct effect on the performance of the company. From general operational functions and security, to potential increases in payroll and a need for larger office space and equipment, it is one that requires a thoughtful approach. 

With the threat of cyber security becoming a prevailing concern for businesses in any industry and of every size, as well as our growing dependence on computers and other forms of technology to drive our operations, more and more companies are seeing the benefits of what outsourcing their I.T. solutions can offer them. However, in order to find the right partner, a company must discover the right reasons why outsourcing I.T. solutions is right for them.

SECURITY IN AN UNSECURED WORLD

In today’s connected world, data security is a topic that is on every business owner and manager’s mind. Security hackers show no favoritism when it comes to the size of an organization. Every business is at risk. I.T. security is the biggest challenge organizations face and, when it comes to small and medium sized businesses, the impact of security threats can be more severe. Threats to your computer network security grow by the day.

Ransomware attacks happen every 14 seconds to businesses in the United States like yours. The result of these attacks is an estimated $6 Trillion in damages by 2021, according to Juniper Research in 2019. As technology and networking experts trade in their professional badges for criminal masks to use their insider information to grant themselves access to your company’s computer network without permission, your tactics need to be equally as dedicated to preventing their unwanted attacks. Hiring an outsourced I.T. solutions company, like Peak I.T., can easily identify, solve, classify and properly address the major security vulnerabilities, as well as detect threats and respond to cyber threats before they even happen.

FOCUS ON YOUR BUSINESS AT HAND

Developing a successful and competent I.T. department takes a significant amount of time. Implementing an I.T. solutions team to develop and account for the ever-changing digital world is a daunting task. By choosing to outsource a professional and accomplished company for your I.T. solutions allows you to focus on your main goals as a business, while leaving your I.T. solutions in the capable and profssional hands of experienced experts in the field. Time is the most valuable resource any company possesses, so maximizing the productivity of the businesses’s core focus and functionality, while relying on a vetted I.T. solutions partner to protect your operations and data, ensures your organization is operating at peak performance.

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

Every company is looking to gain a competitive advantage over their competition. Whether it is producing a product quicker or more economically, or providing a service more timely, every organization wants to outperform their competitors for the benefit of their customers.
