Entrepreneur: Getting The Right Tech Support For Your Small Business

Before they make big plans for the future with a prospective tech support supplier, small businesses should get to know the company on a trial basis first, the author says.


“Managing technology comes last on the to-do list for many small companies. You want to focus on front-end business while hardware and software magically work behind the scenes. Many mom-and-pop or home-based ventures rely on family and friends for tech help. “The main trend we’re seeing for small businesses is to use as little IT help as possible, says Joslyn Faust, an analyst at Gartner research.
