Tips from the Techie
Timely how-to advice for keeping your systems running

The year 2000 is practically behind us now and it's time to pass along some lessons learned.

Are you ready for a Disaster?
Who would have guessed that all the preparations for the big "Year 2000" could have been forgotten so quickly? It is true that there was really nothing to fear, but there were some experiences that should be repeated. The primary one was learning to evaluate the role of computers in our lives. It is comforting to know that they didn't bring the world into demise as predicted, but don't let that fact lull you into unawareness.


Now is the time to prepare for the year ahead


Have a Plan!
Have you considered what ramification an equipment failure would have on your business? Have you invested in sufficient redundancy to keep your livelihood afloat should a disaster occur? These issues need to be reviewed periodically and the annual changing of the calendar is a good time to do so. Consider formulating a written plan for what you would do should you experience an outage lasting a day, a week, or possibly even a month. And, just like the Year 2000 preparations, an outage could occur in any arena of life from your computer system to your telephone connection, to financial crisis. So don't despair, just think it through! Make whatever arrangements need to be made now and should the worst happen, you'll be ready!
