What are your IT practices for employee offboarding?

We find that many businesses face security risks associated with how they part ways with prior employees.

Automated phone attendants: You either love them or hate them.

With every new VoIP phone system we install, the topic of whether to use an automated phone attendant seems to be the most controversial.

We all know how bad auto attendants can be, which is always worsened when callers are in a hurry.

On the other hand, modern intelligent auto attendants are arguably on par with human operators for standard routing, if not faster for automatic switching and paging.

AI-powered attendants are raising the bar even further.

If you’re in the market, give auto attendants a fresh look. https://www.dbest.com/phone-systems/

Sharing a recent project success: We launched a custom AI agent for a client, complete with its own specialized knowledge base.

The client had been curious about a solution that could serve both user training and general IT helpdesk needs.

We knew that a custom AI chatbot could easily solve both problems, as long as it was trained on, and had access to, the company’s standardized procedures and reference library.

In less than a month, we had the agent defined, modeled, trained, validated and deployed.

AI tools are something else! https://www.dbest.com/ai-automation/

A major part of the cybersecurity services we provide is creating the safest, most resilient email inbox experiences possible.

Cyber attackers sure don’t make that easy.

It’s incredible how many different tactics attackers use just over email:

- Phishing
- Impersonation
- Spoofing
- Redirection
- Social engineering
- Voice and video deepfakes
- Malware injection
- Data exfiltration
- Scamming
- On and on

Our goal in listing these is to raise awareness.

It’s not always obvious which angle an attacker is taking, so you must be cognizant and suspicious of all simultaneously.

What do you think about cloud adoption as a tool for managing IT budgets?

We know that most small businesses naturally view cloud services as an added cost on top of already pressured IT budgets.

But if we specifically look at cloud options that can offset existing or prospective fixed asset investments (like buying new servers), we can see that the cloud option actually offsets the hardware option -- usually for a net cost reduction, too.

From this perspective, cloud adoption becomes a way to avoid big cash outlays via smaller ongoing service payments.

A client gave us a good laugh last week: “The only solution to AI is more AI – and some companies are acting like arms dealers selling to both sides!”

Our client was referring to a software developer removing legacy features from their applications due to AI incompatibility, only to then offer AI versions of those same features separately.

It’s undeniable that situations like this will persist as the AI market sorts itself out.

Our advice: Go slow and be sure when vetting AI solutions. When in doubt, wait for clear proof of the benefits.

AI is just getting started. https://www.dbest.com/ai-automation/
