Small businesses can run into a multitude of issues when it comes to information technology (IT). Issues that pop up frequently are things such as data security, licensing requirements, server maintenance, virus protection, disaster recovery, etc.
So who does all that at your company? The answer, for some of those issues, no one. For the rest, it may be an employee that is “good with computers,” a contracted IT company, on-site IT or the boss.

Mobile Workforce Enabled
