In order for any modern business to be successful, it is crucial that everyone is on the same page…and in order for this to happen, a business needs to have the tools available to collaborate and communicate, internally and externally.

Let’s take a few minutes to go over what these tools look like nowadays to see if we can identify any gaps in your own resources that should be filled.

With a vulnerability appearing on the scene, we felt it was an appropriate time to peel back the curtain on a technology we all use daily but rarely question: Bluetooth. Given the nickname of King Harald Gormsson, who famously united disparate Scandinavian tribes back in the 10th century, the technology unites our headphones, mice, and keyboards. Unfortunately, even the strongest alliances have their weak points.

It is fascinating to think that in 2026, our workdays will be defined by orchestrating AI agents, optimizing cloud-native environments, and deploying self-healing security protocols. But if we rewind exactly 40 years to 1986, business technology wasn’t just "retro," it was a different reality entirely.

In 1986, the cloud was something that ruined your Saturday tee time, not a place where you stored your database. Here is what the cutting edge looked like when high-tech involved a lot more physical heavy lifting.

As IT administrators, we spend our days securing networks and managing cloud migrations, yet one of the biggest budget leaks often sits right in the corner of the office: the printer.

If you haven’t taken a serious look at your organization’s printing costs lately, the numbers are staggering. The average organization spends between 1 percent and 3 percent of their annual revenue on printing. That comes out to roughly $750 per employee every year. With a strategic digital transformation, however, these costs stop skyrocketing; they start vanishing.

One question businesses have been asking over the past couple of years is: “Is crypto a viable payment system?” With the maturity of digital asset markets and the rise of regulated stablecoins, the landscape is more professional than any time in the past, but still carries with it substantial risks. If you are considering adding digital assets to your checkout or B2B payment flow, here is the current breakdown of the pros and cons.
