How future-ready is your business’s IT?
How do you feel about the technology you use in your business? A recent study found that 90% of business leaders felt confident that their IT systems today are “best in class”.
But how about tomorrow?
The same study showed that:
· Only 39% of business leaders felt confident that their current IT system was future-ready
· 64% worry that their technology might be getting outdated
· Around half the tech used by businesses was at its end-of-life.
When technology is no longer supported by the manufacturer or software creator, it’s like driving a car that hasn’t had a service in years. Sure, it might run fine for now – but sooner or later, it’s going to break down (and it’ll probably happen at the worst possible moment).
When it comes to business IT, cyber security is another big concern. The study found that 65% of business leaders worry about cyber attacks, and 56% admit that they find it a challenge protecting their business from these attacks.
Nobody can control whether their business comes under attack – but you can make sure your business is prepared. And the best way to do that is by keeping your IT systems up to date and investing in the right security tools.
So, how can you make sure your business’s IT is future-ready?
Take a good look at your current setup. Is your tech starting to slow down? Do you need to start replacing your hardware or software?
If your business tech does need updating, don’t wait until things have stopped working. Think ahead and start planning for upgrades now.
And while you’re at it, make sure your team is trained up on how to use the latest tools and systems.
If you need help building a technology strategy for your business’s next few years, that’s what we do – get in touch.

Our managed IT services provide your business with complete peace of mind as our team of professionals take care of managing, monitoring, maintaining, and maximizing your IT assets for you.
Managing
Our support team continuously maintains your hardware and software with recent patches and updates and remains available to remotely support your team. Whether it’s a staffing change, ‘how-to’ question, or troublesome error message, we’ll be here ready to assist you.
Monitoring
We monitor your IT assets in real time with strategic alerts that help our team ensure your IT investments are stable and available for use by your business. A fire department without smoke alarms can only reply once they see smoke in the distance; our advanced monitors help us catch those fires before they have even begun.
Maintaining
It is a major challenge to stay on top of everything going on in a network. Protocols change, updates are required, and new concerns need to be addressed as they arise. It’s a major time sink. Instead of struggling through it yourself, we manage and adjust your IT assets proactively to ensure optimal performance and security, providing you and your business with complete peace of mind.
Maximizing
We help you get the most out of your IT assets by making sure they are always running optimally and according to the best standards of the industry. This performance tuning can help your business squeeze that little bit extra out of what it already has and take advantage of new technologies as they become available.

Q:
While our main office is located in Chilliwack, we have technicians located all around. As such, we do provide services throughout the province and even to further locations across Canada. As Mr. White once told 007, "We have people everywhere," and we can ensure that your needs are met regardless of location.
Q:
Absolutely! We have various support plans tailored to your needs, from basic to premium packages. Some organizations need everything and the kitchen sink too! Others maybe just need a good deal on a laptop, or a couple of Microsoft licenses. We make sure to adjust everything for you on our side of the coin so that you can continue to operate your business in a way that best serves you and your team.
Q:
Yes, we offer a wide range of hardware and software solutions tailored to your business needs. Our services encompass IT consulting, network management, cybersecurity, software development, cloud solutions, and more. Even if there is a certain product or service that we don't typically provide, you can still bet that we'll know the best way to contact the organization that does!
Q:
We'll need details about your project goals, requirements, and any existing systems in place. Often times it can be a little overwhelming to distill what an organization's needs are. This is why we recommend booking a free consultation with us so that we can lead you down the best path by asking the right questions. Never fear, MicroAge is here!
As service providers to more than 300 companies, the dedicated professionals at MicroAge are second to none when it comes to managed services. By improving efficiency, cutting costs and reducing downtime, we can help you achieve your business goals!
