With 2022 very quickly drawing to a close, we would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a very prosperous New Year.
It goes without saying but it was nice to have a relatively ‘normal’ 2022 with the Coronavirus pandemic very much behind us. However, that said we now face a new challenge in the fact that we are predicted to be heading into a recession early next year.
One of the key trends in businesses this year was the fact that many were adopting a ‘hybrid’ form of working where employees would split their time between working from home and in the office. As well as this, ‘digital transformation’ were the words on people’s lips too throughout 2022 with many businesses looking to move their Microsoft CRM and ERP solutions to the Cloud to enable their employees to access their files remotely as well as from the office. We fully expect this trend to continue throughout 2023 so therefore, if you are a business that is considering making this transition then please feel free to reach out to one of our team here at Advantage.
Cyber Security continued to be a top priority for businesses throughout 2022, even more so with many making the switch to the Cloud. Given the sophisticated nature of cyber-attacks and many businesses continuing to fall victim to attacks, we fully expect this trend to continue throughout 2023 and beyond. If you are concerned that your business is not fully prepared for the ever-complex cyber security environment in which you operate then be sure to give Advantage a call who can help you to meet these threats head on through our dedicated IT audits, tailored security support packages as well as through some of our customised Cyber Security solutions to help ensure that your business is in the right place to be fully protected at all times. Also, it’s that time of year where hackers look to use seasonality to target businesses so be sure to keep an eye out for this to make sure that you don’t become the latest victim of a cyber-attack during the festive season.
Regardless of how your business has performed and evolved throughout 2022, the team here at Advantage have been delighted to have worked with every one of our clients. Given the challenges that we’ve faced throughout this year and those we are likely to face throughout 2023, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your ongoing support as well as your trust and friendship.
