Physical security is just as important as cybersecurity, and digital security cameras are a great tool to help maintain spaces. Whether you have an office, a retail space, a warehouse, or any other property, a security camera can help you keep tabs on a place in real-time and reduce liability. Here are three reasons why you might consider ditching an analog camera in favor of a digital camera.
Typically, we use this space to talk about technology-related issues that have a positive impact on business, society, and individuals. Information technology has and will continue to transform the world we live in. One of the central topics of this giant IT transformation is artificial intelligence (AI) and where it fits into the paradigm of modernity. Much has been made about the potential benefits of AI—and many of them are legitimate—but in today’s blog, we wanted to discuss the dark side of AI, and whether or not immediate regulation of the technology is a prudent decision.
If you are a frequent reader of this blog, you’ve seen articles about blockchain before.

Effective IT management is integral to modern business operations. While it can be complex and demanding, a well-executed IT strategy can bring immense benefits. Let's explore some common pitfalls that can lead to uncontrolled technology budgets.
The Internet has become an indispensable part of our lives. Those who have been online since the mid-90s have witnessed a dramatic transformation in how we use it. Today's lightning-fast, always-on connectivity has replaced yesteryear's slow, dial-up connections. Let's explore how Internet speeds have evolved over the past three decades.

Many business owners struggle with technology that doesn’t meet their needs. We often hear from companies disappointed with their technology investments because they lack the right tools.
Choosing the right technology is vital for business success. In today’s blog, we offer four key tips to help you make informed decisions.
We all share a lot of data. There’s everything shared for professional purposes, of course, but there’s also all the casual things that we send back and forth—chats, requests to have people to pick up things on the way home, and (naturally) memes and pet pictures.
Most of this is sent off without a thought. However, let’s take a moment to think about it for a moment… is there an impact to all this data being sent around?
You can’t run a modern business without software. Even your most basic solopreneur business runs using software at its foundation. For businesses, this problem is increased dramatically as the amount of software fueling operations increases. Software management tools can improve the way your organization keeps tabs on its software.
Businesses deal with all types of problems, and some of them are really serious. Some situations aren’t even problems…yet. When risk is all around you, how can you know when enough is just enough? In today’s blog, we will provide you with some answers to how to flip potential problems into opportunities using technology.
Your computer’s CPU is one of the most sensitive, advanced pieces of technology that you probably don’t think too much about. The CPU itself is just around 4-5 centimeters in length and width, and it handles all of the data processing in your computer. Every single thing you do on a computer gets calculated through the CPU. Most modern CPUs have billions of microscopic transistors in that tiny little space. These transistors are so small that you can fit hundreds of them on a single red blood cell, or thousands of them in the width of a human hair.
So it’s inevitable that something can go wrong. Many fairly modern computers are experiencing a bug right now that could potentially and permanently damage the CPU. There’s a patch to fix it, but if the damage is already done, the patch won’t repair it.
Technology plays a crucial role regardless of a company’s size or growth stage. Therefore, having an IT infrastructure that can adapt to changes in business scale is essential.
Let's discuss the significance of a suitable IT infrastructure and explore best practices for tailoring it to fit your business needs.
Staying optimistic is difficult, not just in business, but in life.
