The Do-It-Yourself Guide for IT Management (for the Brave Business Owner with LOTS of Time on Their Hands)

The Do-It-Yourself Guide for IT Management (for the Brave Business Owner with LOTS of Time on Their Hands)

Sometimes, you can save a lot of money by doing something yourself. I had to replace a gutter on my roof the other day. I figured hey, I have a ladder, a hammer, and a free afternoon… I can do that! Maybe I’ll learn something from it too!

8 Lessons Austin Business Owners Should Learn from the CrowdStrike Disaster

8 Lessons Austin Business Owners Should Learn from the CrowdStrike Disaster

It was essentially what everyone expected Y2K to be, over 24 years ago.

The world’s biggest (so far) IT catastrophe forced hospitals to cancel surgeries, shuttered 911 call centers, crippled banks, and left travelers stranded at airports.

It wasn’t a cyberattack, and it didn’t come with a warning, but it had a massive impact on the world and is causing business owners and decision makers to think a little differently about their technology. Let’s talk about the CrowdStrike outage and what we all need to take away from this disaster.
