IT & Technology Support
Businesses need to invest in digital technologies to ensure that they keep connected to employees, customers and their supply chain.
It was especially important during the pandemic in which many businesses had to switch to remote working.
However, this is still a rapidly changing environment, and it can be difficult for businesses to keep pace without IT support.
Businesses need to be aware of best practices around cybersecurity and particularly vigilant when it comes to personal data – the jargon-filled world of GDPR.
