🖥️ FRIDAY DESK CHALLENGE

What's the oldest piece of technology still being used in your office?

We'll start...
📠 Fax machines
💾 Floppy disks
⌨️ Keyboards older than some apprentices

We're convinced there are some real relics still out there keeping businesses running!

Tell us the oldest bit of tech you still use (or have hidden away in a cupboard).

Bonus points if you've got a photo! 😄

🚨 What would happen if every file disappeared tomorrow?

Take a moment and think about it.

Customer information.
Financial records.
Quotes and proposals.
Emails.
Shared folders.

How long would it take your business to recover?

Data can be lost through cyber attacks, accidental deletion, hardware failure, or human error.

The businesses that recover quickest aren't the lucky ones. They're the ones that planned ahead.

💬 "Can you just explain it without all the technical jargon?"

It's a question we hear all the time.

You shouldn't need a translator to understand your IT support.

Whether it's cyber security, Microsoft 365, backups, or a network issue, the explanation should be clear enough that you understand:

✅ What happened
✅ Why it happened
✅ What we're doing to fix it

Technology can be complicated.

Your IT provider doesn't have to make it sound that way.

Ever send an email and wonder if the person who needs to action it will actually spot it?

In Outlook, you can use by typing @ followed by a colleague's name in the email.

✅ Highlights them in the message
✅ Adds them to the recipient list if needed
✅ Makes important actions harder to miss

A small feature that can make team communication much clearer and save a lot of back-and-forth emails.

in 2002, Serena Williams claimed her first Wimbledon singles title after beating her sister Venus in the final. 🏆

That victory marked the start of an incredible Wimbledon legacy and showed what can be achieved through consistency and determination.

The same principle applies to IT. When your systems are reliable and performing well, your team can focus on getting results rather than dealing with problems.

There's nothing worse than a new starter arriving on their first day only to discover their laptop isn't ready, they can't access their email, or nobody knows their passwords!

We've written a blog covering a simple IT checklist to help businesses prepare before a new employee starts. A little planning can make a huge difference to someone's first impression.

Ever noticed how IT problems love a Friday afternoon? 😅

Everything’s fine… until suddenly it’s slow, clunky, and people are finding workarounds just to get through the day.

That’s usually a sign your systems aren’t keeping up anymore.

Pop us a message if you want to fix it before next Friday rolls around 👍

Thanks for the feedback Henry 😀

Still copying data between systems?

Still relying on spreadsheets that “kind of work”?

But there is a better way to connect everything and save hours each week.

Give us a shout if you want to explore it 😊
