How confident are you in the technology powering your business? A recent study revealed that 90% of business leaders believe their current IT systems are “best in class.”
But what about tomorrow?
The same study uncovered some pressing concerns:
- Only 39% of leaders feel confident their IT systems are future-ready.
- 64% worry their technology might already be outdated.
- Nearly half of the tech used in businesses is at its end-of-life.
When technology is no longer supported by its manufacturer or software provider, it’s like driving a car that hasn’t been serviced in years. It might be running fine for now, but eventually, it’s going to break down—and it’s likely to happen when you need it most.
Cybersecurity is another key concern.
The study found that:
- 65% of business leaders are worried about cyberattacks.
- 56% find it challenging to protect their business from these threats.
While you can’t control whether your business will face an attack, you can make sure you’re prepared. The best way to do that? Keep your IT systems up to date and invest in the right security tools.
How do you ensure your business IT is ready for the future?
Start by assessing your current setup:
- Is your technology slowing down?
- Are any systems overdue for replacement or upgrades?
Don’t wait for your tech to fail—plan ahead. Begin budgeting and strategising for updates now. At the same time, ensure your team is equipped with the skills they need to use modern tools effectively.
