According to Barracuda Networks and UC Berkeley, 91% of all cyberattacks start with an email. Phishing, spearphishing, whaling, and Business Email Compromise (BEC) are just a few of the threats that can infiltrate your inbox. Email security is about more than preventing spam—it's about protecting your business from the devastating consequences of clicking on the wrong link.

Modernizing Your Tech Stack

February 22, 20243 min read

Technology isn't just a tool; it's the lifeblood of modern business. Yet, over 30% of small businesses haven’t upgraded their systems in over four years. Falling behind in tech means falling behind in productivity, security, and growth.

Why are SMBs hesitant to upgrade?

  • Limited funding

  • Uncertainty about modernization

  • The comfort of "the old way works"

But here’s the kicker: 45% of businesses that upgraded their tech saw improved ROI for IT investments. Let’s dive into why upgrading your technology is a game-changer and how to do it right.

Steps to Modernize Your Workforce Technology

1. Assess Your Current Technology Landscape

Kick things off with a comprehensive tech audit. What’s working? What’s not? Identify your strengths and pinpoint those outdated systems. This isn’t just about listing your gadgets but understanding how tech flows through your business processes. Knowing your baseline is crucial for a successful upgrade.

2. Align Technology Goals with Business Objectives

Your tech should serve your business goals, not the other way around. Whether you aim to boost customer engagement, streamline processes, or expand your market reach, make sure your tech strategy aligns with your business vision. This strategic alignment ensures every dollar spent on tech is a dollar spent on growth.

3. Focus on Cloud Adoption

The cloud is your new best friend. It offers scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency. Migrating to cloud platforms enhances accessibility, collaboration, and security. Plus, it simplifies updates and maintenance. Imagine not worrying about server crashes or outdated software. Cloud solutions can handle it all.

4. Invest in Collaborative Tools

Teamwork makes the dream work, right? Invest in collaborative tools that allow seamless interaction among team members, no matter where they are. Think video conferencing, project management tools, and shared document platforms. These tools enhance productivity and create a cohesive work environment, even for remote teams.

5. Strengthen Cybersecurity Measures

Cyber threats are real and growing. Cybersecurity should be a top priority. Implement firewalls, antivirus software, regular security updates, and employee training. Protecting your data and business assets is non-negotiable. According to the IMF, the financial sector alone has seen direct losses of $12 billion from cyber incidents since 2020​ (IMF)​​ (World Economic Forum)​.

6. Embrace Mobile-Friendly Solutions

Mobility is key. Ensure your business applications are optimized for mobile use. This allows employees to work efficiently from any device, enhancing flexibility and meeting modern workforce expectations. With mobile-friendly solutions, your team can stay productive on the go.

7. Support Remote Work Options

Remote work is here to stay. Modernize your tech infrastructure to support flexible work arrangements. Provide the necessary tools and connectivity for employees to maintain productivity outside the traditional office. According to a Verizon report, downtime costs can be drastically reduced with effective remote work setups​ (Verizon)​.

8. Consider Automation for Efficiency

Automation can streamline repetitive tasks, freeing up valuable human resources. Implement automated systems for customer service, invoicing, and other routine tasks. This not only boosts efficiency but also reduces the risk of errors.

9. Provide Ongoing Training and Support

New tech requires ongoing training. Ensure your team has the skills to leverage new tools effectively. Offer training sessions, user-friendly guides, and a robust support system. Continuous learning is key to keeping your workforce tech-savvy and productive.

10. Stay Current with Evolving Technologies

Tech evolves rapidly. Stay ahead by regularly assessing the tech landscape and working with your IT provider to identify new solutions. A proactive approach ensures your business remains competitive and ready for the future.

Need Help Upgrading Your Workforce Technology?

Modernizing your tech isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. It’s a strategic journey that requires careful planning and alignment with business goals. By following these steps, small businesses can leverage technology to enhance operations and achieve sustained success.

"CMIT has given me peace of mind in my business by providing me with ongoing protection, monitoring and an invaluable resource of providing technical help 24/7 if needed. They have assisted me with various technical needs in my business and I appreciate small businesses supporting other small businesses in our community."

"CMIT sent Leslie out to deal with my computer issue - which she handled so fast I can't remember now what it was! Leslie was patient, informative, and engaged me with confidence and relief. She did not talk down to me as if I didn't have a modicum of sense - electronically - but instead was in a teaching mode. I'm so glad to know I can call CMIT whenever I have a problem and allay my fear!"

"Every business NEEDS Carmen and Jaime with CMIT Solutions. They have taken my business to the next level and I am so grateful to have them on our team. It's like having our own personal IT department. We are more productive, more professional, and ready to worry about things other than IT. As a construction company - it is not in our wheelhouse to manage this side of the business and as a small business it's not super easy to know who to contact. They are affordable and knowledgeable and can easily take any business to where they envision. They come with my highest recommendation."
