Every four years we all get something we all need in our busy lives, more time. \u00a0How we use that extra day may determine whether we become more productive or efficient. \u00a0Maybe that gift of an extra day will make us more relaxed. \u00a0This year February 29th falls on a workday, so here are a few ideas to consider.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Decide to upgrade your network. \u00a0PCs, servers routers and other IT assets typically have a useful life of three to five years. \u00a0As technology advances at a rapid pace, your hardware and software assets become obsolete. \u00a0Your systems may become slow, sluggish and unreliable. \u00a0Obsolete hardware and software can contribute to loss of employee productivity or worse. \u00a0You may be a victim of malicious software attacks or malware because your old network is out of O\/S patch compliance. \u00a0Like changing the battery in your smoke detector, consider upgrading that network at least every four years.<\/p>\n

Evaluate your line of business applications. \u00a0Has your business grown or changed? Does that accounting system continue to meet your needs? \u00a0Many businesses will outgrow their line of business applications within 5 years. \u00a0Use Leap Day to consider if your account software meets your current set of business rules. \u00a0If your policies and procedures have changed since the time you first implemented your account software, perhaps the system is holding you back. \u00a0Now is a good time to make sure your technology is in line with your business strategy.<\/p>\n

Update your technology roadmap. Now that you have an extra 24 hours, consider your future business and growth strategies. \u00a0Think through how those strategies may need to be supported by your information technology infrastructure. \u00a0Is your business moving online to an eCommerce business model? \u00a0Are you planning to expand locations and need a wide area network (WAN)? \u00a0Are industry regulations creating requirements for you to store more documents and data? \u00a0Will your current data storage keep up with those demands?<\/p>\n

It only happens once every four years, so make the most of February 29th. \u00a0Happy Leap Day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
