Multipoint Servers are your Small Businesses Future

Built on Windows Server technology, MultiPoint Server enables multiple local stations to be connected to one computer. Several users can then share one computer at the same time, which enables each user to perform independent work or a group activity.
Users have their own independent and familiar Windows computing experience, using their own monitor, keyboard and mouse directly connected to the host computer. Windows MultiPoint Server 2011 enables more users to access technology at a lower total cost of ownership. It is designed to be simple to manage and use.
MultiPoint Server includes MultiPoint Manager, which helps you, as an administrative user, to monitor and manage MultiPoint Server stations. In contrast to IP-based thin clients, you can connect the MultiPoint Server to each station without connecting it to any other network.
Unlike other solutions on the market, Windows MultiPoint Server 2011 is based on the latest Windows technology and thus can run Windows applications, and support can be obtained through Microsoft or HP.

10 Ways to Future-Proof Your Business

Knowing what your business will look like in five or ten years is important, but your long-term goals should never detract from your short-term objectives. If you don’t have specific, measurable, action-oriented and—most importantly—realistic short-term objectives in place, your business may not have much of a future. It is important to recognize this as the market place is always changing especial in our industry Information Technology.

One technique that businesses can utilize when looking to the future is called “flash foresight.” This way of thinking allows businesses to look forward and unearth previously invisible opportunities, as well as transform their findings into a model that they can use to solve any problems. By knowing what to expect down the road, businesses can future-proof their technology and staffing needs accordingly, ensuring they’re prepared for any obstacles they may encounter.

Here are ten things you should consider when preparing to future-proof your business:

1. Outline your needs
Take a look at your business’s main functions and growth plans for the next few years. By doing this, you will reveal what your needs are and how your current technological priorities will line up with them. Most of the time this is dictated by business line applications, such as accounting, inventory or a process driven application.

2. Use hard trends to see what’s coming
Seeing trends before they happen can often be invaluable to your business. For instance, VNet Professionals was able to foresee trends of accelerating decline in break fix support amongst businesses and was able to successfully change its support model to a month flat fee model, utilize that knowledge to create options for our clients has been invaluable and has keep us in the lead. On the other hand, many of our competitors did not recognize the decline in companies’ IT budgets expenditure or the prolong exposure to the recession as stretching the longevity of current computer systems was expected to be extended for several more years diminishing the need for services and replacement projects. This frailer to recognize certain trends like these past years resulted in IT companies going out of business in the San Diego area. I personally know of six IT Firms that failed during the recession.

Being able to differentiate between cyclical market changes (stock market, gas prices) and linear changes (new business and vertical market growth), and hard trends (aging baby boomers) and soft trends (not enough doctors to treat aging baby boomers), will help your company make accurate predictions.

3. Past strategies may fail to engage new customers
Has your business been around for more than five years? Do you still rely on print campaigns, direct mail, or newspaper and magazine advertising? Are you getting the same return on investment from these strategies? If so, it might be time to try something new. Don’t hesitate to put emerging technology like social media and mobile applications to use.

4. Use cloud-based services
Rather than purchasing expensive hardware and software that quickly becomes outdated, investigate cloud-based technology. By utilizing cloud computing, your company can get rid of bulky on-site servers and have virtual access to all types of cloud services. Employees can even access important files while on the road by using any computer or smartphone with an Internet connection. We believe in the power of the cloud.

5. Take advantage of new technology
Whether it’s a new PC or a smartphone, what you buy today can technically be obsolete tomorrow. For a long time businesses have just accepted this, but it is possible to avoid it altogether. Our way to counteract this expensive constant change is to take ownership of your business IT needs and address them by providing you with an office in a box approach, incorporate all the major business productivity tools you need for the next three years—for a fraction of the cost of replacing your current old PCs.

6. Don’t depend on one part of your business for complete success
What worked for you last year might not work for you this year. If you have a service or product that has been working for you over the last three to six months? Perhaps it’s time to shift your focus to that service or product to see what it can do for your business.

7. Go against the competition
Have you ever stopped to look at what your competition is doing? Have you ever thought about doing the exact opposite? Surprisingly, sometimes that’s the best thing to do. As a matter of fact that is what we have done to stay ahead.

8. Maintain service contracts
Think of your IT systems as the engine that runs your business. If you don’t maintain the engine, the business will stop running smoothly. That’s why it’s important to maintain all of your service contracts that cover your hardware, software, and peripheral devices. Oftentimes, these contracts can be a challenge to keep updated, we take the guess work out of it, making it easy for businesses to reduce business disruption. Let us keep your business engine running smoothly with our 24 hour support services.

9. Ease into new strategies or marketing platforms
Are you implementing a strategy or service that is no longer making you money? Don’t do it anymore. The money and time you invest in something that isn’t producing results can be better spent elsewhere. Consider investing that time and money into an emerging platform such as mobile advertising or inbound marketing and see what happens. For years I have always said it is easier for clients to find you than you find clients.

10. Undertake constant research and remain vigilant
Businesses are always being watched and copied by others who are interested in improving upon your ideas and techniques. Your business is not immune from this. It’s just a matter of time until someone with a cheaper or better product hits the market, and the only way to protect yourself is to remain constantly proactive. In our IT industry (our business) as in every business soon or later you need to innovate and defend. An expensive lesson I have learned throughout the four IT Firms I have owned her is San Diego, CA.

Understanding what long-term goals mean to your business on a daily basis will help you establish your short-term objectives. Your company’s goals will only be effective if you have a clear vision of what you want to achieve and how you want to do it. Let your business dictated the needs, if your business demands it to be more productive, save you money or make you money then you have a legitimate necessity.
