Skype for Business goes end-of-life: risks, consequences and the solution.

Mar 22, 2023

It has been a long time since we have heard about the time when Skype for Business would go into end-of-life, and later into end-of-support. The countdown has begun, and there is not much time left to migrate from Skype for Business to Microsoft Teams. In fact, although Teams is the most widely used workstream collaboration tool in the world, Skype for Business is deeply established in many corporate structures, and consequently difficult to drop. For many companies, beginning the migration to Teams is not just replacing an existing communication system, but is a real transition to modern work, with all the pros and cons that come with it.

IT assessment for companies: what it is and why to do it

Jan 24, 2023

The increasing dependence of companies on their technology infrastructure makes it critical to optimize its efficiency, lower its costs and minimize any potential failures. Exponential growth is increasing in parallel with the complexity of systems, which require constant monitoring and optimization of the IT department.
In the welter of day-to-day operations, however, it is not always easy for internal IT staff to fully analyze the current situation and identify the strengths and weaknesses of the infrastructure and then work on implementations and improvements.

Jan 16, 2023

The now well-known dependence of companies on technology makes them the perfect target for cybercriminals, who, well aware of the heavy repercussions caused by a total shutdown, systematically threaten and attack their mission-critical operations. As usual, the learning curve of these cybercriminals keeps pace with the defensive actions taken by companies, learning as they go around them.

Cyber Recovery: how it works and how to apply it

The steady increase in digitization and the related shift to the cloud due to diverse development opportunities, increased flexibility and business agility has also indirectly caused an increase in cyber attacks in the public and private sector worldwide.
Estimating that about every 39 seconds a cyber attack occurs, one would think that it is no longer a matter of “if” but rather “when” it will be one’s turn to face an attack on one’s company. Therefore, it becomes critical to identify critical data and applications that, in the event of an attack, enable normal business operations to be resumed quickly.

The culture of continuous improvement

Nov 28, 2022

This immediate visual identifiability, however, should not be understood as a conditio sine qua non going to exclude realities such as those operating in services.

Businesses, no matter what industry they are in, should be viewed as real entities that change and grow, requiring constant investment in improving each and every element that makes them up. This is an ongoing process that involves time and effort, but is too often put on the back burner in favor of more immediate goals. Studies show, however, that an increased focus in terms of innovation and the ability to put oneself under analysis are key factors that contribute to business success.
