4 DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION TOOLS TO REFRESH YOUR BUSINESS
As the kids get ready to go back to school, for many in business, September marks fresh beginnings after the summer lull. As such, now is a great time to review your outdated systems with better, more efficient digital tools. Incorporating better comms and IT systems will not only prepare you for the busy months ahead, but will improve overall efficiencies for time to come.
As a digital transformation company, Lily is here to find you the right solutions to succeed. Below, we cover the top 4 digital transformation tools you should consider today.
Top 4 Digital Transformation Solutions
1 - Hosted Phone System
With the ISDN Switch Off on its way, now is the time to upgrade your telecoms platform to a cloud-based phone system. A VoIP phone system allows calls and videos to be taken over the internet, benefiting you with flexible, cost-effective and mobile communication infrastructure. This system also saves 30-60% off your monthly rental bill, making it an ideal solution for all businesses.
The UK government has already moved many areas to a Stop Sell phase. If your area moves to the Stop Sell phase, you will no longer have access to Wholesale Line Rental (WLR) products, including ISDN and analogue lines. Switching to a hosted phone system will avoid significant disruption to your comms system later down the line.
2 - Microsoft 365
Microsoft 365 is a globally used productivity and collaboration tool that will empower your team to do more. As work becomes more hybrid, Microsoft 365 will allow your organisation to work from anywhere, on any device and collaborate with ease in real-time on tools like Microsoft Teams and Word. This productivity tool will streamline workflows and help you keep up with the demands of the digital age.
There are many reasons to switch to Microsoft 365, but if you want to know how it can benefit your organisation specifically, contact our team.
3 - Cyber Essentials
Over the last few years, the rapid digitalisation of business operations has left many organisations susceptible to cyber attacks. This results from little preparation and weak cyber security, which cyber criminals take advantage of daily. As with any industry, improving your IT security should be at the top of your list.
The Cyber Essentials government-led standard will ensure you have the correct controls to minimise potential cyber threats. As Cyber Advisors, Lily will help you get certified in Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus, a more rigorous assessment of your IT systems. Advance your cyber security and minimise the financial risk of cyber attacks with Cyber Essentials.
4 - Managed IT Support
The Cyber Essentials assessment thoroughly reviews five key areas of your IT system. This includes firewalls, user controls, malware protection, patch management and secure configuration. Ensuring strict measures in these areas is essential for staying safe. As such, you should partner with an experienced IT company to ensure you have the support required to drive efficiency and security.
Lily provides a business IT support service, Lily Shield, which covers areas such as anti-spam, anti-virus, web protection, patch management, document back-up and unlimited IT support. Our IT helpdesk promises a 30-minute SLA to solve any question you have, so there is little disruption to your services.
