Technology Tips and Tricks for
SMEs
If you are Small Business Owner or manager, or just running a SOHO business, PCProfile knows that time is precious and it's hard to find where you can get simple help, in one location on using technology to best suit your business needs.
You probably feel in many cases, the technology vendors and the software giants have forgotten what it takes to run a small business, and to cap that off your eyes probably just glaze over when some technology guru starts talking in techno-speak about what you need to do in terms of buying the latest and greatest to solve "your" problem.
PCProfile offers useful and practical information pitched "in business terms" to the small business owner/manager that helps you teach yourself how to use the technology better, as an aid to your business, in your own leisure time, bearing in mind we are fully aware that small business owners have no leisure time, or almost none!
PCProfile knows that your goals and objectives don't centre (usually) around how or why the technology works, or what features in software to watch out for, or best utilise. You just want, need and demand that the technology works all the time, and that it is only ever a tool to aid your business, which is typically manufacturing, designing, selling or servicing and supporting customers in your field of specialty.
Technology should only ever be an aid to the business not the reason for being in business, and when it doesn't work your business suffers!.
PCProfiles Technology advice section for SMEs may well be the place for you to bookmark and come back to as well as refer your business partners and colleagues to for practical useful information and tips on using technology in your business to make your business work better.

SMEs are typically time poor when it comes to administrivia, and may have overlooked or not be aware of the default settings risks in their rush to use the new wireless computing device.
There are some vital keys or settings that can be a single point of risk for an SME/SOHO business, and when more than 2 of these items are left unchanged (or are set inappropriately) then the level of risk increases significantly.
In practise, most wireless devices in the SME/SOHO environment are rarely altered from factory settings by SME/SOHO users, hence the risks of loss of data, or malicious use of information can be potentially damaging for the small business owner/manager.
Not to be overlooked is the impact of “reverting to the default settings” after a service or support issue, or some major outage, (or advised by the Helpdesk at the ISP – who should know better!) which then returns the settings back to factory defaults.
