Let’s talk business growing pains. Small businesses generally don’t have the means and often management do not have the time to follow and track the latest tech and security trends. Countless business owners are not equipped with the knowledge to source or maintain the best possible technology and the result being that too many mistakes are made, and their businesses suffer at the end of the day.
When we look at it from an IT perspective the scaling of a business is often far more difficult than the start-up phase. Business owners find themselves in the position of having more users and more data than ever before and it becomes challenging to manage this growth leaving them feeling like they are not able to properly control or implement new systems. They know they need improved tech and IT infrastructure to effectively manage data and processes.
It is at this stage of the growth process that companies find themselves in the position where Google Drive and Dropbox are simply not enough and are no longer sufficient. In the business maturity cycle there comes a time where free solutions don’t provide the required functionality. This is a clear indication that the business is in an increased phase of growth.
Every small business goes through business growing pains, and business growing pains are a good thing. For any business to grow it is vital that business owners recognise the common challenges in the growth process and be prepared to overcome these challenges. It is important that the necessary steps are taken to avoid additional problems going forward and to ease the business growing pains.
The choices that business owners make affect cost, security, performance and integration, capability, integration, speed to market and countless other business variables that are all related to IT. The typical issues that small businesses in escalated growth phases encounter are:
- They are unsure whether data is backed up and retrievable in the case of data loss
- They are unsure whether all laptops and PC’s have the latest security updates
- They are uneasy that IT costs and support services are so unpredictable
- They are unsure who has access to company data
- They are unsure whether the server is outdated
