Nowadays, it’s common for business tools to incorporate AI into their already helpful features. Google Docs is a prime example. As of the time of this writing, Google has recently added a “Help me create” function that can help you get a start on your next project.

Let’s take a look at how it works and how you could potentially utilize it to your advantage. 

When you think of business technology, what’s the impression you get? Do you look at it as a pain in the neck obligation, an unavoidable cost, or one of your most valuable assets?

For many, it is the former… but for the most successful among us, it is the latter. Let’s talk about how you can use your technology to optimize your incoming cash flow.

Most business owners I talk to have some form of backup. Maybe it's an external drive plugged into a server, or perhaps everything is saved in the cloud. While these are great starts, they often have a single point of failure. If your office has a fire, that external drive is gone. If a user accidentally deletes a folder and it syncs to the cloud, that data might be gone before you notice.

To make a backup "trustworthy," we use a framework called the 3-2-1-1 Rule. It sounds like a football play, but it’s actually a recipe for peace of mind.

It’s almost impossible to find a workplace these days where mobile devices aren’t part of the furniture. We use them for everything from checking email between meetings to approving contracts while waiting for a latte. When done right, giving your team the ability to work from anywhere is a massive win for productivity.

Cybersecurity can often feel like a complex web of buzzwords, but professionals actually rely on a simple framework called the CIA Triad to stay safe. This doesn't refer to the intelligence agency; instead, it stands for Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. You can think of these three pillars as the locks, the reinforced walls, and the key to the vault. If any one of these pillars fails, the entire system is at risk.
