AI

We get a lot of questions about using AI to speed up business tasks.

A lot of them are about Co-pilot, which is Microsoft’s own brand of AI that is being baked into everything they make, like Windows, Edge, and 365.

Co-pilot for 365 is the one for businesses, and there are three tiers with different functions. What’s right for your business? This article lists everything you need to know, but already the things it can do will blow you away!

If you’re interested in adopting it for your business, we can help: https://tek.io/444AvDb

Managed Services

Managed services are revolutionising businesses!

Gone are the days when every business, big and small, had to set up their own IT department. Now, they can simply call in experts who will help them automate mundane processes, keep their networks humming, and make sure they stay safe online.

But don’t take our word for it. Read this article and get in touch if anything catches your eye: https://bit.ly/3JmQKSH

Cybersecurity

It is worth noting that the majority of software used worldwide is built on open-source code.

However, this could potentially pose a cybersecurity threat. For instance, the XZ utils open-source compression tool, which is integrated into a wide range of software products and operating systems, was discovered to have a backdoor.

Despite the fact that FOSS is a crucial aspect of the tech industry, it is surprising how little is known about it.

Microsoft Account

When deciding whether to use a local account or a Microsoft account on your device, it’s important to carefully consider your specific needs and preferences.

If you primarily use the device for personal purposes and do not have any organisational affiliations, a local account may be sufficient. However, if you are part of an organisation or need access to Microsoft services and applications that are integrated with a Microsoft account, then choosing a Microsoft account would be more appropriate.

It’s vital to evaluate the advantages and limitations of each option before making a decision, as it can affect the way you access and manage your device and associated services.

The Benefits of IT Support with Andromeda Solutions

If you’ve been on a news site recently, you might have seen one of the plethora of articles about the shift in business IT services. It seems that many companies are now outsourcing many of their computer needs; in fact, in the second quarter of 2023, the amount of money spent on outsourcing or ‘managed services’ by European organisations rose by 15%!

The question, then, is why are so many companies outsourcing, and isn’t dealing with everything in-house much cheaper and more convenient?

Well, no. We’d argue that using IT support is much better! This article will talk you through why. 

What are the benefits of IT support?

We might be biased, but partnering with IT support services can be one of the best things your business can do! Some of the best benefits of outsourcing your IT needs are:

  • Save money: Outsourcing IT support can help you reduce expensive costs in a number of ways. First off, you won’t have to spend thousands recruiting IT staff. You also won’t have to pay for the salaries, benefits, and training either. And it’s not just staff — you won’t have to invest in costly IT infrastructure like servers, storage, and software. Andromeda Solutions is upfront about all of our prices, and whatever price we quote you includes an unlimited number of callouts!
  • Access to expertise: Using managed services gives you access to a team of experts who can handle all of your IT needs. This can be especially beneficial for businesses that don’t have the in-house expertise to manage their IT infrastructure. Andromeda Solutions is fully staffed with friendly experts, and when you call, you get right through to them. No middle men! We handle it all: computers, servers, printers, the cloud; firewalls, switchers, routers; Voice over Internet Protocol — you name it.
  • Increased focus on your core business: Outsourcing IT support allows you to focus on your core business activities. You won’t have to worry about managing your IT infrastructure or resolving IT problems, which is time-consuming and headache-inducing. Andromeda Solutions will never sell you anything you don’t need, as we don’t like headaches, either. So why not save your time and resources and focus on growing your business instead.
  • Improved security: Andromeda Solutions has the expertise and resources to implement and manage security measures for your business. This can help you protect your data and systems from cyberattacks. Good thing, too, as cyber security is a hot topic right now. Attacks are increasing in complexity and number every year, and 31% of UK businesses are attacked at least once a week. Don’t leave it to chance — let us help!

We hope by now we’ve convinced you that investing in IT support is worth the effort. And you couldn’t ask for a better partner than Andromeda. We’ve won countless awards for our customer service, with some of our recent wins being the Global Excellence Awards 2023 and Best IT Support Services Provider 2023 – Middlesbrough. Read about our services and get in touch to see how we can help you and your business today.

Advanced Email Security – Protect Your Business

Protect your business with advanced email security

Protecting your business in the modern world means focusing on creating a robust set of cyber defences, and achieving this starts with looking at your email. Today’s cyber criminals often use emails as an effective route into the networks and IT systems of an organisation, with the intention of stealing or corrupting sensitive data. With new threats emerging all of the time (approximately one million new malware threats every day) [1], it’s essential that businesses take the right steps as soon as possible. 

Andromeda Solutions Recommends Hornet Security 

There are a number of IT strategies that can work well in the face of these threats, and here at Andromeda Solutions, our team of experts are fully up-to-date on all of the latest cyber security approaches. That is why we recommend that our clients make use of the highly effective tools from Hornet Security. This suite of security software tools can provide the stringent defences needed to secure email accounts, with a range of advanced features including fraud and ransomware protection mechanisms. 

As a cloud-based solution, the Hornet Security product offers key advantages for businesses, too. The email spam and malware filter technology is able to detect 99.9% of spam and 99.9% of malware that is introduced via emails – these are the best detection rates available. The result is an email inbox that is free of irritating spam content, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing every email you open has already been checked for signs of DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) or phishing attacks. As a whopping 50% of email traffic is estimated to be spam content, this feature is certainly well worth having. 

The software from Hornet is smart, too, with its Advanced Threat Protection product providing a robust defence against even blended attacks, which use multiple types of malware in a single attack. It also eliminates the dangers posed by malicious encrypted email files, by decrypting and analysing suspicious emails and scanning them for viruses. And if the software does detect signs of malware, it automatically sends an alert and provides a full analysis of the incident for your system administrator. 

Enjoy Email Security With Andromeda Solutions

By making email protection your priority, you can spare your business the dangers posed by hackers, which can include devastating financial losses as well as reputational damage. At Andromeda, we pride ourselves on providing transparent, friendly IT support, making us the ideal partner for your cyber security needs. Our team of specialists take a corporate style approach to SME IT support, ensuring that you receive the best possible solution for your unique IT needs. Our service is flexible, too, so we can create the best email security strategy for your business, at a time that suits you.
