In order for any small business to grow, it needs to have an IT system that is both reliable and up to date. A successful IT system should lower potential risks, ensure that productivity is maintained and ultimately should improve your return on capital investment by driving your core business forward. Examples of some of the key processes that should be executed to generate positive results include:

Asset Management

Your business will not run without its’ assets. Ensure you know your assets and their lifecycle. Working assets beyond their economic lifecycle may be putting elements of your business at risk. Asset Management will help you set your maintenance schedule and make sure your assets stay functioning for their entire projected life.

Disaster Recovery

All businesses must plan for the future and that future should include a disaster recovery plan. As a business owner you should ensure that any prolonged disasters effecting your business should be mitigated by pre-agreed steps and procedures in place to ensure that your business is back up and running in the shortest amount of time.

Security Process

Retention of strong internal security measures is paramount for small business as any likely loss or breach may be detrimental to your business. For that reason building a comprehensive security process should include how customer information is retained, who within your organisation has access to confidential company information and ensuring the company has a comprehensive and effective password policy. When determining the best processes for your business, keep the above measures in mind and don’t be afraid to seek help from experts in the area in order to ensure that your business has a well rounded IT infrastructure.
