The Forecast is “Cloudy” but That’s a Good Thing!

This month’s featured business Technology Simplified, Inc., featuring partner David Meyer

Technology Simplified is a Spencerport, NY-based business that operates and serves all of western New York, including Batavia, Buffalo, and Rochester. Their goal is simple – to provide LOCAL service to LOCAL businesses, versus having to work with someone overseas or who is out of state.  David and his team have been doing just that since 1999, and proudly offer a wide range of services including virus removal, data recovery, disaster recovery plans, networking design/repair/maintenance, and training.  They deliver the best value guaranteed and complete the work on site at your home or office!   Rest assured, they will not waste your time or money on repairs that are not needed.

One of their main business focuses is now on cloud computing. By moving to “the cloud”, David says that businesses can reduce their IT expenses by up to 50%! Technology Simplified is an authorized reseller of Google Apps as well as Microsoft Office 365. This means one thing for you – less hassle with hardware, and more time for you to spend on growing your business and doing what you do best!

On a personal note, David enjoys ice hockey and playing it with his son.  He also enjoys a good round of golf at one of our many local golf courses, though he jokes he can only play “when there isn’t a blizzard.” Are you saying it’s been cold and snowy this year David? But what he’s most excited for is the opportunity he’ll have to watch his son play football for the University of Buffalo, where he’s starting this fall!

We asked David what some of the biggest challenges are in technology right now:

1.) Windows XP is being retired by Microsoft April 7, 2014…so NO security patches or updates after this date….XP computers will be wide open to new attacks which means lots of Malware and viruses.

2.) Most small businesses have weak disaster recovery plans in place for on premise data…some newer viruses (specifically Cryptolocker) can encrypt your data and it can be lost forever!!

3.) Most viruses are obtained by infected web pages today not email attachments so it is important to have security at the router/firewall/Gateway or resident real time scanning software such as Malware Bytes Professional.

Do you find your business or personal needs falling into any of the above categories? Technology Simplified can help! Call them at (585)617-4398 or email them at Consultations@TechnologySimplified.Biz
