Imagine you and your team walk into work, ready to start the day, only to find the Internet is down, e-mail won’t connect, and operations come to a screeching halt. In today’s world, one tech failure can cost thousands in lost productivity and sales.

We saw this at scale with the MGM data breach – casinos were offline, electronic keys failed, and online services were unavailable. For local businesses, even a few hours of downtime can be devastating.

And downtime is just one of many issues. Add in password problems, malware infections, and trouble accessing shared files, and these inefficiencies can drain your time, money, and morale.

Too many Jersey Shore businesses settle for IT support that’s barely reactive — technicians who wait for you to report issues instead of actively preventing them. You deserve better.

Use the checklist below to evaluate your current IT support and see if they’re really protecting your business.

The Essential IT Support Checklist
