The SMB Market Paradigm Shift
As the complexity of business technology grows, it's becoming more difficult for companies, particularly small and medium-sized businesses, to maintain control of costs, track and ensure ROI, and maximize efficiency and effectiveness throughout the enterprise. At many companies, a greater percentage of the IT budget is being spent on operations and management rather than on innovation. To be sure, there are exceptions - some businesses have discovered the technological and organizational structures it takes to "flip the model" and reallocate more resources to innovation, development, and productivity.

But the outbreak of ineffectiveness is particularly acute among smaller businesses, where labor costs associated with trying to do more with less remain out of control. Outsourcing is an option, but often times, smaller businesses find that the management of an outsourcing project isn't as easy, or as affordable as expected, no matter how much planning goes into it. Today, businesses are looking for both automated management solutions and improved organizational and governance structures to get themselves out from under a mountain of inefficiency and regain control of their information assets. They're finding this to be the only way to ensure that the promise of business technology will lead to greater innovation and productivity.

You're not as safe as you think...
New York Times – Cyber Thieves Silently Copy as You Type – Greg Keizer "87% of the companies say they suffered some kind if security attack, while 20% admit they've been victimized by 20 or more attacks. At the same time, 64% felt some financial pain, with the average cost totaling more than $24,000."

Almost two thirds of companies worldwide have experienced a computer virus of some sort within their operations.

Large companies generally have dedicated IT teams who update software, and develop systems to prevent internet attacks and deal with viruses, so employees don't need to worry about security. With smaller firms, it is often the owner's responsibility.

Firewalls serve as a first line of defense against external threats by screening all incoming information against a number of set rules to ensure it comes from a secure source. We take this a step further by actually scanning and pre-screening all email and content.
