As we’re nearing the end of 2019, PC Paramedics have decided to create some informative blogs as part of the Christmas Countdown series. Throughout these posts put both on our website and social media we’re going to be highlighting the ways you can make a smooth transition into 2020.- So it’s definitely worth keeping an eye out!

In this blog, we wanted to talk to you about your business and its 2020 Digital Transformation. If this is something you haven’t yet thought about, don’t worry! Now is the perfect time to read up, learn and take action! We only want the best for you and your business after all.

What is a Digital Transformation?

Firstly, I want to discuss what a Digital Transformation actually is. It is the process of using current digital technologies to create new or modify existing business processes to meet new market and business requirements.

For example, a company ignoring the 2020 problem or even leaving it until the last minute isn’t meeting future business requirements. This issue will later affect them further down the line and will be detrimental to the business and its ways of functioning.

As an IT company we find that when an organisation is planning its business plan for the upcoming year, it commonly leaves out its plans for technology. Businesses just don’t see it as being important as other things. This needs to change!

The 2020 Problem

It’s more important than ever this year as it’s highly likely that some of your operating systems will be going out of date in January 2020 and will no longer be supported by Microsoft. These include:

• Windows 7
• Office 2010
• Exchange 2010
• Small Business Server 2011
• Windows Server 2008

What we’re currently seeing is people turning away from the fact their systems will NOT work and you’re opening your precious company information to hackers. These people will easily enter your systems, with effects that are going to be detrimental to the future of your business and its requirements.

As an IT Support provider, we strongly recommend either replacing the system or upgrading it if the hardware is capable. Our passion is in IT and as we wouldn’t want this to happen to you we’re providing you with the steps you need to take for a better New Year!

Not sure if you need to take action? That’s okay! We can send one of our trusted Senior Technicians to you who’ll conduct a free IT Health Check and advise you on the next steps you can take. You can also book a meeting with us straight away here.
