Hi *|FNAME|*,

I hope you are all keeping warm. These mornings are cold - I was up at 5:30AM this morning (Sunday) to take my son to an early soccer game over the other side of town and it was freezing!

Well a new financial year has now started, have you made any changes in your business yet?

The SA Technology Collective (of which we are a member) are having their next Social Drinks on the 2/7 at the Woodcroft Tavern. Drop in anytime between 4PM and 6PM to have a chat with some other business owners in a casual environment. See below for more info.

We have a range of blog articles for you to read this month. They range for malware on Apple Mac computers right through to why IT repair is best left to the professionals. I hope you enjoy them and if you have any questions or ideas for topics please let me know.

As I have mentioned before Windows 7 is going EOL (End of Life) in January next year (see below). Don't leave it until December / January to find out what your options are so contact us know.

Regards

Is Your Business Vulnerable in 2020?

Did you know that the life of Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and MS Office 2010 will be ending soon? These operating systems and Office suites were released a long time ago but are still widely used today. As with all good things, they must come to an end and Microsoft is pulling the plug on its aging software on January 14th, 2020.

We have developed some resources to help you understand what is happening and how your business can stay safe in 2020.
