Seven items, and nobody does all seven. If you only do the renewals list and one restore test, you will have covered most of the actual risk in a couple of hours. techdynamix.com/blog/q4-it-p…

Today is officially Ask a Stupid Question Day. In IT there aren't any. If you've ever felt dumb asking your tech something, that's on them, not you. Ask us anything. We'll explain it in plain English and won't make a face. #AskAStupidQuestionDay #ITSupport #SmallBusiness #TechDy

There is no hold music at our office because there is no hold. A real person picks up and they already know who you are. I still get told that's unusual. I'd like it to become normal. #RefreshinglyHuman #ITSupport #SmallBusiness #TechDynamix

I've looked at a lot of IT invoices from other providers and a surprising number of business owners can't tell me what they're paying for. New on the blog: how to read your IT bill line by line, and what should be there. Link in the comments. #ManagedIT #SmallBusiness #ITBudget

The single most useful thing an owner can do with an IT bill takes about an hour: ignore the prices and check the counts. You personally know who works there, which is exactly why nobody else can run that check for you. techdynamix.com/blog/how-to-…

How to Read Your IT Invoice | Tech Dynamix

What each line on an IT invoice means, and the items worth questioning: seat counts, license markups, vague bundles and work you thought was included.

Fall is a good time to do the boring stuff. Turn on multifactor authentication for email if you haven't. Then check who still has access to your systems that shouldn't. Two hours of cleanup now saves a very bad week later. #Cybersecurity #MFA #SmallBusiness #TechDynamix

It's National Cheeseburger Day. The best cheeseburger is the one from the place that has made it the same way for 20 years and knows your order. That's also the best kind of IT company. Go get lunch. #NationalCheeseburgerDay #SmallBusiness #TechDynamix

Everybody says their onboarding is smooth. Almost nobody shows you the steps. New on the blog this week: what we actually do, in what order, before we touch anything in your network. No surprises is a process, not a slogan. Link in the comments. #Onboarding #ManagedIT #SmallBusi

The short version is that we do not touch anything for a while, which surprises people expecting a van full of equipment on day one. Assessment, then documentation, then credentials, then changes. Reverse any two of those and you get the onboarding everybody is afraid of.
Quick question for business owners: when you call your IT company, does the person who answers already know your setup? If the answer is no, that's not a you problem. That's a model problem. We built ours so the answer is yes. #ManagedIT #ITSupport #SmallBusiness #TechDynamix

Taking a pause from the usual today to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the first responders who ran toward it. Never forget.

On this day in 1947, engineers found a moth stuck in a relay of the Harvard Mark II. It was the first literal computer bug. Almost 80 years later, most IT problems still come down to something small that nobody looked for. New on the blog: why sticking with an IT provider you don

The part most owners have never costed out: switching has a price you can see once, so it feels expensive, while staying with a provider you do not trust has a price you cannot see, so it feels free. It is not free, and it grows every month. The article also has the honest list o
Ohio has a law on the books that almost no business owner knows about. If you get hit by a breach and you'd built reasonable cybersecurity ahead of time, the Ohio Data Protection Act can give you a legal safe harbor in court. Most small businesses around here qualify for none of
