Is your network infrastructure a Frankenstein’s monster of mismatched tools and quick fixes? This is what most small business IT looks like; companies adopt solutions without a thought as to how they are supposed to work together, and it ultimately ends up impacting operations. This creates tech debt, and not the monetary kind, that is hard to bounce back from without taking a serious look at your IT practices.

In its current state, artificial intelligence takes whatever you tell it very literally. As such, it is very easy to misdirect it into digital rabbit holes… which is the last thing you want, when time is very much money to your business. This is precisely why it is so crucial that we become adept at properly prompting the AI models we use. Too many hallucinations (responses that share inaccurate or unreliable information) simply waste time and money, but the better the prompt, the less prone the AI will be to hallucinate.

Let’s go over some of the best practices to keep in mind as you draft your prompts.

The concept of backups isn’t new. A lot of people have a spare key, and the idea of a spare tire is pretty universally known. While either example could easily make or break someone’s day, the stakes are exponentially higher when business data is involved.

This is why a comprehensive business continuity plan—including a disaster recovery strategy, complete with backup readiness—is essential.
