TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR COMPANY'S IT SYSTEMS

 How to improve computer systems ? Every company needs to have the necessary computer systems for its proper functioning. These systems are made up of hardware and software that allow the company to store information and process it. The way we arrange and configure our computers will allow us to work more or less efficiently.

In this article we want to give you some tips so that you can improve your computer systems . Taking into account that today cloud computing services have become popular, it is important that we know what our possibilities are.

Keys to improve your business IT systems

A company can have several computer systems, equipped with certain hardware that allows them to process and store information (CPU, hard disk, etc.). These systems are becoming more and more varied, and many companies use laptops, smartphones and tablets within their company computing.

Employees are responsible for using these systems, which can be connected to each other by cables or wirelessly. Being clear about how to organize our computer systems will help us to work more appropriately.

What tips should be taken into account to improve the computer systems of your business? Keep the following in mind.

1. Check and update your computers

Many computers can have good features, a powerful processor, and plenty of hard disk space. However, it is also possible that it is not being used well due to its misuse. There are too many programs installed, there are too many files, we are not aware of whether there are security threats ...

Ideally, you should review your current computers, since you do not necessarily have to buy new computers, or expand the RAM or hard disk of the ones you have.

2. Take advantage of the cloud

Another aspect that you must take into account is that it is not mandatory to have all your data in your computer systems. There are many programs in the cloud in which part of the business information can be stored.

For example, the invoices, estimates and documents of the company can be in a billing program, and use the office automation programs on the computer itself. All this will help you avoid having to install so many programs on computers, or fill up space quickly.

3. You need to centralize

Some do it by installing an internal centralized server , others use the cloud ... but what everyone has clear is that you have to centralize. That is, you cannot have the data spread over dozens or hundreds of computers, without any control. You need to centralize the information and implement certain security measures from an internal server to which the other computers are connected, or through software in the cloud.

4. Keep your computers updated

Regardless of whether you use the cloud or not, nobody likes that one day when you turn on the computer you find that it has been kidnapped. That is, you have ransomware. They ask you for a ransom to decrypt the data and be able to regain access to your computer. Generally, you have to pay a small amount. And even if you do, you run the risk that they won't give you the correct password to decrypt and keep asking you for money.

A ransomware takes advantage of outdated operating systems. All those computers with Windows XP from the year of María Castaña run a huge risk, especially if you are storing your company data there. You must keep your systems up to date.

5. Your servers need maintenance

Whether you have an internal server or a network of internal servers , in your company's premises, or if you have an external IT infrastructure, unless you also have delegated maintenance from your provider, you will have to maintain the servers.

This is commonly done by the IT Department. If your company does not have an IT Department, the ideal is that you can go to an external computer maintenance service , such as the one we offer you at Gadae.

6. Safety matters

Another aspect that you should take into account is the security of your computer systems . Risks can come from within (the company itself) or from outside (the Internet). For example, computers should be equipped with a user password, and there should be a series of restrictions so that users cannot do everything they want, such as installing certain programs without permission from the administrator.

It is also important that computer systems have antivirus, firewall and anti-spyware protection to avoid cyber attacks or that they can be infected by malware programs.
