Running a business means making decisions fast. But when it comes to tech, a quick check-in with your IT pro can save you time, money, and a whole lot of cleanup later.
Here’s a handy checklist of moments when it’s worth hitting pause and giving your tech person a call:
✅ Hiring a new employee?
Let’s get them set up with the right email, access, and security from day one.
✅ Buying a new printer or scanner?
Not all devices play nice with your network. A quick check can save hours of frustration.
✅ Switching internet providers?
It’s not just plug-and-play. Your firewall, static IPs, and remote access might need adjusting.
✅ Installing antivirus or security software?
Some programs conflict with others or slow things down. Let’s make sure it’s the right fit.
✅ Updating or launching a website?
DNS settings, email routing, domain renewals—one wrong click can take your site or email offline.
✅ Trying a new cloud storage service?
Where’s your data going? Who can access it? Let’s make sure it’s secure and makes sense for your setup.
✅ Setting up a new phone or VoIP system?
These can eat up bandwidth or mess with your network if not configured properly.
✅ Testing out a new app or productivity tool?
It might duplicate what you already have—or worse, open up security gaps.
✅ Migrating email or switching platforms?
This one’s a biggie. Data loss and downtime are common without a solid plan.
✅ Connecting smart devices to your network?
Even things like smart TVs or thermostats can create vulnerabilities if not set up securely.
Bottom line: If it plugs in, connects to Wi-Fi, or touches your business data, it’s worth a quick call. I promise it’s easier (and cheaper) to do it right the first time than to fix it later.
