Do you know what almost every business in the world has in common, from the likes of Walmart, Amazon, and Samsung, to the many establishments (like yours) that have made Oneonta their home? There are actually two things: one, they all use technology in some way to enable their operations, and second, this technology can sometimes stop working.
Let’s face it: AI is currently being jammed into every single piece of software we touch. While you can escape the hype cycle at home, it’s nearly impossible to avoid at the office.
Just because a tool features artificial intelligence doesn't mean it's actually intelligent for your business to use it. We have officially hit the point of diminishing returns. If you want to keep your operations running smoothly, you need to know how to spot the bloat—and how to eliminate it.
These days, the vast majority of our day-to-day business work happens entirely inside a web browser like Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. Because we practically live in these applications, they quietly accumulate massive piles of background data, unvetted plugins, and tracking cookies over time.
You do not always need to throw money at a sluggish computer to solve a performance problem. Sometimes, it is just a matter of using the technology you already have in better, more effective ways. Let us look at how to take the load off your hardware and get your systems back up to speed.
We’ve all seen the Hollywood version of a hacker. It’s usually a lone genius in a dark room, typing furiously into a glowing green screen, shouting "I'm in!" right before they bypass a mainframe.
It makes for great television. However, in the real world, this representation is completely wrong. Today's cybercriminal doesn't look like a movie villain. They look a lot more like a mid-level corporate executive.
Many business leaders currently implement artificial intelligence at every opportunity. However, automating an inefficient process does not make it valuable. It simply accelerates the rate of inefficiency and hides operational waste.
Before implementing new technology, business processes must be simplified.
I was having a conversation with an old friend the other day—let's say his name was Dave.
Dave is a smart, capable guy who was recently hired as the first-ever internal IT Director for a rapidly growing company. When he got the job, the business owner was thrilled. The company had finally reached the milestone where it was large enough to have its own dedicated technology leader. No more relying on the tech-savvy office manager to fix the router. They had a professional in the building.
