| New
Financial Year |
| Now that
the new year has begun, many business operators are awaiting tax reports
or are uncertain about the exact state of their finances. With the
winter weather and customer flow at a low point, this is a good time
to start reassessing the efficiency of business systems, particularly
for businesses in the retail sector. By November these businesses
need to have systems in place that will carry them successfully through
the Christmas and summer high-season. Once peak customer flow is reached
it is too late for operators to be thinking of analysing the efficiency
of their data flow, let alone improving their information system.
Brainbox Solutions have many years of experience, and qualifications
in Small Business Management. We are in the best position to analyse
your IT requirements and propose solutions which will improve the
efficiency of your system, increase staff and customer satisfaction
and optimise your profits. |

| System
Security |
Many small
to medium businesses have been unable to come to grips with current
IT security issues. With the rise in uptake of 'always on' broadband
Internet connections, many businesses are now exposed to hackers 24
hours a day. It is commonplace for us to discover that businesses
are sharing their printers and shared folders with anyone on the Internet
with the interest to notice. This is an extremely dangerous situation
and could lead to the compromise of essential business data or give
access to customer information, which is protected by law. We recommend
the use of a firewall to restrict access between your system and the
Internet, allowing only the services you need to pass through.
Furthermore, many businesses are inadequately protected against computer
viruses, which can destroy data and compromise security. So-called
'keyboard-trapping Trojans' can secretly infiltrate computers, record
keystrokes and relay data, including typed passwords, to their creators.
We recommend the use and regular updating of reputable anti-virus
software. We can put systems in place to ensure that all your computers
receive regular, automatic updates, protecting your system and ensuring
peace-of-mind. |
