Aug 12, 2025 IT Disasters We’ve Seen (and Lived to Tell the Tale) In the world of IT, chaos isn’t an “if”—it’s a “when.” Here are some of our favorite war stories (that are way funnier now than they were at the time).

Aug 12, 2025 The Great Software Subscription Shuffle Remember the era of one-time software purchases? Now we’re in a world where everything is billed monthly—from your CRM to your cat-themed note-taking app.

Aug 12, 2025 The Secret Life of Your Office Printer That printer in the corner? It's not just a machine—it's a reluctant participant in your daily grind. Sometimes it's cooperating… other times it's staging a full-blown protest.

Jul 10, 2025 Where Did That Laptop Go? Why IT Asset Management is a Game-Changer Remember that brand-new laptop the company bought for that remote employee last year? The one that was shipped out, signed for, and... then mysteriously vanished into the void? No one knows if it was set up, returned, or sitting in a drawer somewhere. If this sounds familiar, you need better IT Asset Management. Whether it’s hardware, software licenses, cloud subscriptions, or even user IDs, keeping track of IT assets is harder than it should be. Without a proper system, you end up with lost devices, unused software, surprise renewal costs, and compliance risks.

Jul 10, 2025 Avoid the Vendor Contract Chaos: Why a Vendor Contract Management System is Your Best Friend Ah, vendor contracts. The silent stack of paperwork (or digital clutter) that no one really wants to deal with—until something goes horribly wrong. Maybe it’s an unexpected renewal charge, an expired software license that brings operations to a grinding halt, or a "surprise" auto-renewal for that service no one even remembers signing up for. Sound familiar? Then you, my friend, might be in need of a Vendor Contract Management System.

Jul 10, 2025 Avoid the SSL Nightmare: How to Never Miss a Certificate Renewal Again There are two types of IT professionals: those who proactively manage their SSL certificates, and those who only think about them when something breaks. If you’ve ever woken up to a frantic message that says, "Hey… why is our website showing a big scary security warning?", then congratulations—you've been visited by the Ghost of Expired Certificates Past. SSL certificate renewals should be simple. But somehow, they always seem to expire at the worst possible moment—like right before an important client presentation or during peak online sales hours. If you’re tired of playing the "SSL Expiration Guessing Game," it’s time to talk about SSL Certificate Management.

Jul 10, 2025 External vs. Internal Penetration Testing: Are You Really Secure? Cyber threats don’t knock before breaking in. They don’t ask permission. And they definitely don’t care how good your security policies look on paper. The only way to truly know if your defenses can withstand real-world attacks is to put them to the test—before the hackers do. This is where penetration testing (pen testing) comes in. By simulating cyberattacks, businesses can identify vulnerabilities, test security measures, and strengthen their defenses before an actual breach occurs. But not all pen tests are the same—some threats come from outside (external attacks), while others lurk inside your network (internal threats). Understanding both is critical for complete security.

Jul 10, 2025 On-Prem vs. Cloud: Choosing the Right Infrastructure for Your Business The great IT debate: On-Prem vs. Cloud. Do you stick with your tried-and-true on-premises infrastructure, or do you embrace the flexibility of the cloud? While some businesses are all-in on cloud computing, others prefer the control of on-prem solutions—and many end up with a hybrid mix of both. The truth? There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. It all depends on your business needs, security concerns, scalability requirements, and budget. Let’s break down the pros and cons of both options, specifically focusing on core infrastructure vs. SaaS solutions.

Jul 10, 2025 Network Monitoring: Because ‘Oops, the Internet is Down’ Isn’t an IT Strategy Introduction: Network issues always seem to strike at the worst moments. Your CEO is on an important Zoom call, the sales team is about to close a deal, and suddenly… buffering. Emails won’t send. Websites take an eternity to load. Panic spreads through the office like wildfire. You rush to check the network, and someone in accounting casually mentions, “Oh yeah, the internet was acting weird all morning.” Great. Would’ve been nice to know before everything caught fire. This is why network monitoring isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s an IT lifesaver.

Jul 10, 2025 MFA: Because 'Password123' Isn’t a Security Strategy (Featuring Cisco Duo) Let’s be honest—passwords alone are not enough anymore. Cybercriminals don’t need to “hack” most accounts; they just wait for someone to reuse a weak password, click a phishing link, or forget to update their login credentials. Suddenly, an attacker has access to sensitive company data, customer records, or financial accounts—all because one employee thought "Qwerty123" was a solid password choice. Enter Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), the ultimate security upgrade that stops 99.9% of identity-based attacks. And when it comes to easy-to-use, enterprise-grade MFA, Cisco Duo is one of the best in the game.
