Starting a business can often mean developing a unique business idea, researching your market and putting together a well thought out business plan, but these days business owners need to also consider the need for IT and Software that requires integration to provide a flawless business operation.
We’re all watching The Apprentice, I’m sure, but how many of this year’s candidates can honestly say that they have considered the help and guidance of an experienced IT support company as part of their winning business plan?
Unlock Liverpool speaks to power couple and co-owners of Clairty IO a new innovative business founded by James Cleveland and Katie Harrison, that tackles the increasing need for digital and IT support from UK business owners.
Cyber security is today’s biggest threat for online businesses, James tells Unlock Liverpool. It is constantly changing and, if not kept on top of, can destroy a business. Whether it be customers losing faith in your business or fines for losing confidential data, it is not easy to come back from. Cyber security is no laughing matter, especially when you have invested a lot of money and time into a business. Software can be installed to protect your business at a basic level, but being able to have complete peace of mind that your business is protected as best as it can be, is priceless.
Investing in an experienced team of professionals to manage your security, data and software can be very expensive, especially if you’re just starting out. Clarity IO offers competitive and flexible IT support for both small businesses and entrepreneurs.
James continues, “After security comes a unique selling point. Finding innovation can be a struggle, but using technology, a business can have a competitive edge. Whether it be controlling stock levels to reduce cost and overspending or creating a new intuitive app that becomes viral, merging digital with standard business practice will certainly help you stand out from a crowded market place.”
Clarity IO focuses on offering small businesses who can’t afford full time I.T or software development teams with high-quality IT support. James adds ‘Our customers benefit from our years of experience as IT professionals. As it’s not exactly a glamorous department, a lot of businesses tend to overlook the need to outsource professional help when it comes to IT and support. Without help, the growth of a business can be restricted.
IT and development can range from basic support for files, data and systems to integrated phone management and call center technology.
“I think one of the next big things will be Augmented Reality, where technology is used to augment a real life environment. It’s already cropping up in games, on mobiles, in retail and also in architectural design. It’s likely to get even bigger in the next few years and change the way we learn, shop,build, play and generally interact with the world around us.”
