This month, we’ll discuss the importance of keeping a technology inventory.

Automation has helped many businesses improve their output and efficiency, but what is the cost to the people that work for these organizations?

One of the most under-the-radar, yet still critical parts of a business’ technology infrastructure is the networking equipment. By this we mean the hardware that connects your business to the Internet and to your network. We are talking cables, switches, and routers.
