Managed IT services professionals in Dallas advise that you should not ignore the shift in IT concentration which developed from 2020’s unpleasantness. Owing to safety concerns, decentralization best practices were fast-tracked into the mainstream, and by many accounts, quite successfully. By the end of 2021, 1 in 4 are expected to work remotely. That actually saves businesses a lot of money. However, it also opens things up for hackers.

The 1 in 4 workers who are exclusively remote today is almost a metaphor for tech benefits as opposed to negatives after the worldwide pandemic. There are four times the benefits, but definitely, new hazards exist as well. Here’s a mix of both to help give you an idea of what to keep an eye out for going forward as a business:

The Advent of 5G and a Variety of Associated Implications

5G just stands for fifth-generation–as in, the fifth generation of wireless cellphone technology. But each generation (which takes about a decade to maximize, and overlaps the previous generation) exponentially expands potential.

For many businesses, 5G will do a lot to streamline and optimize normative operations. However, it will also provide new avenues of access for cybercriminals. Accordingly, unrolling it is a mixed blessing requiring careful assistance from professionals like those at varying MSPs.

Decentralized Operational Infrastructure: Remote or “Digital” Workspace

Managed IT services providers in Dallas have been helping businesses large and small decentralize using things like cloud computing and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) to facilitate remote digital workspace opportunities.

2020’s disaster forced the issue, inflating existing infrastructure to the point it became recognized in the mainstream. Remote workspaces save businesses money and expand potential, and will become more common going forward.

Conferencing Reliably via Video, Operations Possible Almost Anywhere

Video conferencing via Zoom and other similar options is more streamlined and effective than it’s ever been, making it possible to closely monitor delicate operations from almost anywhere. That trend is in expansion for good reason.

Expanded Cyber-Attacks and a Larger Number of Unexpected Digital Attacks

As technology makes exponential advances in a sort of “iterative” way, so also do cybercriminals expand abilities. This means more cyber-attacks and more unexpected digital attacks. Accordingly, proper protection from professional purveyors of IT is key. If you can’t hire an on-site IT department, outsourcing to MSPs is absolutely to be recommended–also, doing so is usually more cost-effective and qualitative.
