If you have an existing company, large or small, you rely on Information Technology (IT). For small businesses, you rely on your website to generate more business or a small office network that you use to send reminders, do internet banking and create price quotes.
If you’re a larger company, you probably do all of the above, but with more hardware, and you also likely run some professional applications to do your financials, inventory, planning, etc. Add an internet connection that you expect to be up 100% of the time, backups that you’re supposed to make every day and antivirus software that you need to keep up to date, and we’re already talking about a lot of investments.
