Technology, such a powerful term. It wields its might upon businesses that have learnt to control it, but act as a double-edged sword on organisations that fail to do so. In a report by the Business News Daily, technology plays a big role in today’s business setting – 98% of the business owners polled think that it is important to keep up with technological trends. Often regarded as a vital aspect of organizations – from marketing (think social media) to day-to-day tasks (email correspondence, data storage, for example), it is also one of the most disregarded.
Data security aside, technology is constantly evolving. Keeping tabs on changes can be taxing to small and medium enterprises. Furthermore, hierarchical layers of big organisations also increase the likelihood of technological stagnancy – how often do you see softwares and hardwares being upgraded in your organisation? Most companies purchase equipments in view of utilizing its lifespan, which range from 3 to 6 years in current markets, meaning that upgrades only take place on an average of every 4 to 5 years. Now that we’ve put things into perspective, imagine the technological gap that most companies are facing today. IT departments are losing ground fast, cloud computing, social media, and information management are evolving rapidly, and managers are discovering new technology before IT departments even have a chance to master it. Gartner Research predicts that 35 percent of most companies’ technology-related expenditures will be managed outside the IT department’s budget by 2015.
