A Guide to Freeing Up Space and Increasing Your Security.

In this ever-evolving business world, one thing has become quite clear: our organizations must evolve with technology. If we don’t, our competitors will do it and pass us by, and we’ll be left behind to wonder what happened.

Fortunately, there are some great benefits to keeping up with the times of modern technology, not the least of which is beefing-up security, and finding extra data storage space in the process. Oh, and a lot of these things also tend to have a delightful little side effect: saving money. Let’s jump right into it.



Technology-Centered Cost Saving Ideas.

Technology is grand: it saves us time, frustrations, and often more importantly, money. In the very hot and cold months, we can program our thermostats to not expend nearly as much energy during off-hours, saving lots on monthly electric bills. Software can be implemented to analyze business expenditures and find ways to reduce or eliminate costs. And Backup and Disaster Recovery can protect you from losing thousands of dollars. Let’s take a quick look at the Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center. Just this year, hackers slipped-into their network and implanted a ransomware virus which effectively locked-up ALL their data and processes. They couldn’t access records, they couldn’t reference medical files, but perhaps most destructive, they couldn’t operate their equipment – meaning they were losing $100,000 every day in CT scans they could not perform.



What were their options? They could either: A. fight the hackers and try to hire their own team of experts to hack-the-hack and get their system back online – which they might or might not be able to do – and which might or might not take several weeks. Or months.

Or, they could, B. Pay the hacker his requested $17,000 for the ransomware release codes, and be back up-and-running in seconds. Guess which one they picked? Yep, they paid the hacker. Knowing this, coupled with the fact that the medical center was consistently losing $100,000 in missed income, how expensive actually was this ransomware attack? Now, let’s assume the medical center had hired Michell to provide them with Backup and Disaster Recovery services? The moment we found out the network had been compromised, we would have formatted the entire network – ransomware and all – and then restored it using their backup from the day before. No lost income, no ransom paid, and we get to work on discovering exactly how our hacker friend slipped by in the first place. This makes BDR one of your biggest cost saving ideas available.

Remain Secure While You Work Remotely.

In the never-ending quest to free-up data space, one of the great solutions is allowing employees to work remotely. And while you get the benefit of freeing-up space, you also get the benefit of extra security from working in the Cloud.

At the genesis of the remote position, workers had to do their work offline, then email everything into the office for review. That meant someone else had to download the files and place them where they belonged. And if the files were too big, you had to email them in multiple emails, which – to engage in a little hyperbole – took forever.



Nowadays, the easiest way for remote workers to work remotely is in the Cloud. Workers log into their company’s Cloud server, upload all their files to it, and instantly – their co-workers have access to their work file. And best of all, working in the Cloud automatically gives you crazy-good security protocols which protect your data from all kinds of breach threat. And – say goodbye to having to use all that space on a local network server. Data space gained, security tightened, and you’re working at home. Nice.

The Absolute Importance of Disaster Recovery Planning.

Fire: bringer of light. The Promethian gift. It cooks, it cleanses, it warms, it’s great. --unless it’s in your office.

Too, too many businesses have lost everything when an all-consuming fire ravaged their building. Workstations, servers, documents – the fire spared nothing. How do you continue with business when something like that happens? It’s hard – almost impossible. In fact, statistically, around 60% of all businesses fail after a major data loss. Even with a hefty insurance policy, you have the challenge of keeping your existing clients while starting completely from square one again.

It actually is avoidable – with disaster recovery planning. When your office engages in disaster recovery planning, even if you come into work



one morning to find a crater where your office once stood, you can get immediately back to work – with all your data intact.

With disaster recovery planning, all you data is frequently backed-up, and can then be restored to any server or capable workstation. Remember that nice insurance payout we mentioned earlier? Use it to buy your new hardware, then immediately restore your data to it. Instantly, you’re back to work with all your data you had before the incident. You’re productive, you’re making money, and best of all, you’re not a statistic.

Built-in Data Recovery Soft-ware – A Bonus of Working in The Cloud.

Vacation: some think of it as just an urban legend. It’s something people say exists, but is rarely seen. But since this is an eBook, we can create worlds just by talking about them, right? So, let’s say you just took three weeks off to spend in the Caribbean – just you, a hammock, and a nonstop flow of tropical drinks. Sounds ideal, doesn’t it? Yep – until you get the urgent text from work: “We can’t get your presentation to open!! HELP!!”

Yes. The presentation you worked on for two weeks straight, so you could escape to the tropics and not worry about anything. Luckily for them, you always keep your laptop with you in case of emergencies. You try to pull-up your copy of the presentation from your laptop’s hard drive – and it tells you the file is corrupt. Hello, Panic. Welcome to our vacation.



After about 5 seconds of absolute terror and dread, you have an epiphany: you last worked on the presentation from your office computer, which has data recovery software that automatically saves to the Cloud! Hysterical, you log into your Cloud server, locate the file, re-download it, open it up – and there it is. After laughing like a deranged lunatic for a few seconds (and startling a few nearby sunbathers in the process), you email the restored file to the office, who then texts you about 12 “thank yous” and tells you to go back to enjoying your vacation. And thanks to the data recovery software, you intend to do just that.

Michell Consulting Group Can Help You Find That Extra Space, Extra Security, and Extra Cash.Once you have the right strategic technology partner in-place, there’s really no telling where you and your team can go. The sky is a beautiful place, and when it’s the limit, it’s even better. Michell can help you on your destination, show you the way, and congratulate you upon your arrival.

Let’s talk about it. We know you’re itching to get these implementations made, so we’re hoping you’ll be very happy to know we’re itching to make them for you.
