Software
As advances in Hardware occur software is developed to take advantage of those advances. What was unimagined a few years ago is commonplace today. Advances in Operating Systems, Productivity software, Financial software, and Vertical market software make it possible to assimilate information at an ever accelerating pace. To remain competitive in the market it is necessary to keep pace with these advancements in some situations but not in all. In many situations second generation software and hardware can perform admirably if properly managed. Managing the life cycle of software and hardware while maintaining productivity maximizes ROI.
Data Security Malicious attacks on business computers have become more aggressive in recent years. Loss of data and liability for that loss has become a major concern. A layered system of security and redundancy that guards against internal and external attack has become an industry standard. The challenge is to balance security with availability of data. Meeting accepted Industry standards is mandatory to meet compliance regulations and avoid liability if the unthinkable occurs. Data recoverability is also part of this plan and crucial to a businesses ability to recover from a disaster. Both on-site and Off-site data backup alternatives should be evaluated.

Managed Services
The routine maintenance of computer systems which includes many mundane tasks like defragmentation of hard-drives, the installation of service packs and patches, updated device drivers, removal of temporary files, installation of updated virus definition files and many other tasks can often be automated but not in all cases. Routine cleaning of computers to insure good air flow and heat control is often overlooked. Slow system performance, corrupted data, or system failure can often be contributed to neglect of these tasks. A Plan of managed services can also include real time performance analysis to identify system bottlenecks. Regularly scheduled support of systems minimizes the breakdown cycle of lost productivity and lost data that many businesses are plagued by and supports the concept of planned replacement of system components as their life cycle nears its end.
