Is your IT streamlined?

Concepts such as “Big Data” and “Internet of Things” are still not clear to some small business owners. I think it is safe to say that business owners understand the role of
email, laptops and websites and the part they play within your business – could
the same be said about your knowledge of Mobile, The Internet of Things and Big Data?

Mobile

Mobile working  generally refers to employees who are able  to work from their mobile device from any location. This is how remote working was introduced. This flexibility allows your employees to be more productive and efficient when working away from the office rather than waiting until they reach their desk to process a particular task.

The Internet of Things

The Internet of Things is not a technology, but a concept. The idea is that any device can be connected to the internet and will be able to send and receive data. Printers can be connected to the internet – so that day you are stuck in traffic and need to print that urgent document – you can log on to the document from any handheld device, select print and it will be ready and waiting when you reach the office.

Big Data

Big Data is also a concept and not a technology. The data being transmitted by the work related devices and online services bring big opportunities for businesses of all sizes. Big Data has the potential to help your business improve operations and make more intelligent and faster decisions.
