One of the biggest misconceptions we hear is, "We're fine, everything's backed up in OneDrive."

OneDrive, SharePoint, Dropbox and Google Drive are fantastic for syncing and sharing files across devices. But syncing and backing up are two very different things.

Syncing:
📁 Keeps files the same across devices
🗑️ Changes and deletions can sync across devices
🦠 Ransomware can potentially sync encrypted changes
👏 Great for collaboration

Backup:
📁 Keeps an independent, recoverable copy
🗑️ Deleted or overwritten files can be restored
🧼 Allows you to recover clean versions from an earlier point in time
👏 Essential for disaster recovery

Not sure if your business has a proper backup strategy? Let's chat.

We asked the NQIT team to show us their favourite tech tools at the Townsville office… and the answers were revealing.

🔌 Celeste: Patching cables because, apparently, they look pretty.
💻 Ed: His laptop, because it's where he does most of his work... Gotta respect that workhorse!
🚗 Matt: The NQIT car, thanks to his own car’s ongoing commitment to breaking down.
☕ Ant: The coffee machine. Finally, someone who understands what “essential technology” means.

What’s your most-used office tech?

🤬 Swear? 😭 Cry? 😵‍💫 Frantically press refresh 138 times?

After those steps, if your business has a "Break/Fix" approach to IT, normally the process looks like this:
☎️ Call IT
⌛ Wait til fixed... however long that might be
💸 Receive invoice
😬 Hope nothing else breaks

If you have a Managed IT approach, it's more like this:
🔎 Issue detected... often by your IT team before you
✔️ Problem resolved.
🏎️ Business continues.

Do you only contact your IT provider when something breaks?

That reactive approach might have worked once, but as your business grows, it can become costly in more ways than one.

Here are five signs you've outgrown break/fix IT:

❌ You're dealing with recurring IT issues.

❌ Downtime is impacting productivity.

❌ Cyber security feels like an afterthought.

❌ Your business has grown, but your IT hasn't.

❌ You're always reacting to tech issues, instead of planning ahead.

If that's your current situation, it might be time to switch from a Break/Fix approach to a Managed IT approach.
