Do you own a small business? If yes, you likely have a software subscription – think about the last time it was updated.
If the answer is “a long time ago” or “never,” now is the time to address this issue. Keeping your software up to date is critical for maintaining security, stability and efficiency at your small business.
The one constant in technology is that it is always changing – so keeping on top of changes and updates means you are less likely to have a cyberattack , performance issues and downtime.
When your software subscription is updated, you can move forward with peace of mind – focusing on growing your company and doing your best work.
Here are some reasons to keep your software subscription updated:
Fixing security, bugs and performance issues
Software companies are always releasing security updates and patches to address vulnerabilities that are popping up continuously. When you install them, you can rest assured that your devices – and critical data – are more protected against hackers and bad actors. But the key is, you must do the updates.
The fact is people are looking to attack your systems. Also, bugs and glitches happen even in the best software programs.
So, if you want to keep your system safe and protected, you have to stay on top of updates.
Compatibility
Remember when we talked about change being a constant for tech? It’s a reality that can be frustrating if you don’t do regular updates, because compatibility issues will arise. Updates can help limit integration issues with apps, hardware and operating systems – keeping things running smoothly and efficiently.
Support and cost
Regular updates mean you have access to the latest support help and service, and it can also keep costs lower, because you won’t have to deal with the pain of security breaches and downtime. More efficient systems also run better – improving productivity.
