InfoTech USA 7 Best Practices For Productive, Efficient And Compliant Technology
1. Productive, Efficient &
Compliant Technology
Using Technology to be Productive, Efficient and Compliant
Maximizing the Benefits of Technology
You need to focus on the everyday demands of
running your organization, not your IT.
“Oftentimes, many organizations are shorthanded
when it comes to fully leveraging their IT because
the IT staff is spending most of its time just maintaining their IT systems.
Organizations would much more prefer to be using their resources to perform
more strategic tasks which have a greater impact on their organization rather
than simply reacting to problems.”

2. InfoTech USA
In today’s challenging economic times businesses need to make smart
proactive investments in technology. Now, not only do they need to protect
themselves from viruses, worms, and even hackers, but recently enforced
laws of compliance, known as FRCP (Federal Rules of Civil Procedure).
This law focuses on ESI (Electronically Stored Information). The law was
actually passed September 1st, 2006.
Including email messages, instant messages, word processing files,
spreadsheets, presentations, purchase orders, contracts, wiki and blog
postings, files stored in collaboration systems, and all other electronic
content to which an organization might have access.
It also extends to all of the venues in which this data might be stored
including desktop machines, laptops, smartphones, servers of all types and
even employees’ home computers.

3. HR & IT Working Together
HR and IT must work together to create a proactive plan
to address compliancy. HR Policies of Discrimination and
Harassment are big targets for these recently enforced
laws.
Businesses rely too heavily on quick fixes rather than
proper preventative solutions when it comes to IT and
computer issues, costing more money and wasting more
time in the long run.
So what can a business owner do?
