Call for Businesses to Put IT Support Plans In Place as Experts Predict Decentralization in 2014(Cision Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) IT support companies like ARC Systems (http://www.arcsystems.co.uk/) will be at the frontline of business next year if a new take on the anticipated state of IT next year is to be believed. Telecommunications giant Verizon released their annual predictions for technology for 2014 last week and making their top five was the theory that IT will decentralize over the coming 12 months with more and more companies likely to embrace cloud technology, mobility and M2M technology. As information technology gets ever more advanced, it is predicted that 2014 will be the year that businesses will have no choice but to embrace the latest developments with IT increasingly becoming a critical part of almost all business functions. Of course the larger and more technologically advanced companies will be able to cope easily with the new changes, however, many businesses will be forced to play catch up if they are to survive. Thanks to dedicated companies like ARC Systems, even smaller businesses will be able to operate on equal terms by outsourcing their technological needs. Such a solution will see a move away from in-house IT teams with dedicated experts externally on hand to keep systems up to date and running smoothly. This is expected to give small to medium business owners the freedom to concentrate on their everyday tasks. Another prediction on Verizon’s list is that cyberspace management will become a priority. With more high profile cyber attacks being reported in the news each day, it is vital that businesses do all they can to ensure their digital data, as well as their customers’ data is stored safely and securely. As mobile data and cloud storage becomes more prominent, cyber security is becoming an ever more complex arena. Again, businesses that are keen to move into the areas of cloud and M2M technology but are concerned about cyber security are urged to contact their local IT Support Essex (http://www.arcsystems.co.uk/) specialists ARC Systems who will be able to implement the best safeguards against cyber attacks. Steve Holloway of ARC Systems says, “It’s no surprise that the experts are predicting that businesses will have to rely more and more on Information Technology if they want to survive and thrive in 2014 and beyond. The Verizon predictions are incredibly interesting and give us quite a large hint as to the need for robust support plans and reliable experts in the run up to the New Year. ARC Systems excel in providing SMEs with all the support they need in the IT arena, from helpdesk queries to data management and disaster recovery, to make this decentralization process stress and disruption free.” The number 1 prediction from Verizon was that “The customer of One will Come of Age.” This sounds very prophetic but it basically means that businesses and brands will start to focus more on their customers as individuals rather than as a collective entity, and the focus will shift further towards interactive and mobile technology that puts the individual first. It is an exciting time to be both a customer and a business, especially if it is a business that is in control and up to date with the amazing technological advances we as a species are seeing. Based in Essex, ARC Systems is gearing up for the New Year with a suite of services that will help local businesses to make the most of the Verizon snapshot into the future. It has recently begun working with Bulldog Digital Media (http://bulldogsocialmedia.co.uk/seo-essex/) to increase its local presence and is also offering a free health check to companies in London and Essex who are now beginning to think about the 2014 IT needs.
