Although embracing the digital age can improve your business's communications and bottom line, you might not have a tech-savvy team in place to help achieve these goals. That's why a technology advisor could come in handy. This professional will identify the technology solutions your business needs and how to implement them in daily operations. Here are a few telltale signs that your company could benefit from this outside help. 

How to Tell if Your Business Should Utilize a Technology Advisor

1. Cybersecurity Breach

Cybercriminals use malware and other methods to gain unauthorized access to a business's password-protected data and internal servers. This type of security breach can be detrimental to operations. A technology advisor will perform a risk assessment to evaluate assets, threats, and potential methods of attack. From there, the advisor will determine the next steps to take to address these concerns.

2. Inferior IT Infrastructure

To remain relevant in the digital age, your business needs a solid IT infrastructure. This includes adequate training for the IT department, data storage, and digital tools that improve communication among employees and allow clients to collaborate with personnel. If your business is currently lacking these elements, a technology advisor will introduce you to service providers who can assist with building a better IT infrastructure. 

3. Lack of Cloud Solutions

If your business doesn't utilize cloud services, it should. Your company's data will be organized and stored on a remote server, so you won't have to purchase internal hardware. Cloud-based technology also offers flexibility and scalability to address your business's short- and long-term goals. A technology advisor will help set your operations up with a cloud storage system.
