How to Get the Most out of Digital Technology in Business

The entire business landscape continues to be transformed by digital technology with every new piece of tech that is rolled out — in order to keep your company at the forefront of its market, quite simply, you need to keep your finger on the pulse of these latest developments and changes. More to the point, you have to constantly be looking for ways to get the most out of the digital technology that you use.

Here’s what you need to do to achieve just that:

Monitor and review your tech usage

In order to unearth all the ways you can better your business’s usage of digital technology, you need to track all of the improvements and monitor all of the changes that have taken place since you first decided to embrace this kind of tech. Only when you understand how far you have already come can you judge how far you can potentially go going forward into the future.

In this instance, you should review how effectively you have adopted the usage of your specific digital technology, and you should judge what kind of an impact it has made on your general business practices so far. Has the process of implementing the tech into your day-to-day working process been easy? Have you seen any kind of change in employee productivity, for instance, as a result of it? By knowing these kinds of things, you will have a clearer understanding of what you can do to get even more out of digital technology.

Make sure you know how to deal with all faults

What’s the point in paying to use a piece of digital technology if you are constantly being held back from using it due to faults and errors on its part? For this reason, you have to ensure that you know how to deal with any and all faults that occur, as that is the only way you are going to get the absolute most out of your digital tech.

If you use Windows 10 to power your digital tech, one fault that you may have already come across is the infamous ‘blue screen.’ This signifies a page fault in a non-paged area, and it is an error that you need to know how to deal with.

As stated here, to solve this specific issue you must:

1. Enter ‘cmd’ in the Taskbar search box
2. Right-click on ‘Command Prompt’
3. Select ‘Run as Administrator’
4. Enter the command: chkdsk /f /r
5. Press [Y] to confirm your permission should you be requested for it
6. Restart your computer

    

7. Once the Check Disk scan is complete, press [R] and [Windows] simultaneously and enter: mdsched.exe
8. Restart your computer

    

9. Allow for the scan to commence in full before you seek to use your tech further.

    

Get your team on board

Your digital technology is not going to operate on its own accord — this is still the year 2019 and tech still, for the most part, needs a human influencing its every move. For this reason, getting your team on board when it comes to fully embracing and getting the most out of your digital tech is key.

First and foremost, every time you implement a new piece of digital technology into your workplace, you should hold a training session that de-briefs all of your employees on how to use it correctly. You should ensure that your staff members are kept abreast of any changes that take place with regards to your tech, too, as this will help you to avoid any tech-based confusion in the world place going forward.

Stay updated

The companies that develop digital technology don’t just roll out updates to line their pockets. They make updates available to ensure that consumers like yourself are able to remain completely up-to-date with the demands of the day. It’s is incredibly important, then, that you no longer ignore that little notification that has been pleading with you to update your tech, systems, or software.

Staying updated is especially important when you take security into account. The world of cybercrime never stands still — scammers will always manage to find new ways to hack into your important business data — which is why you need to update your technology to ensure that its security levels meet the standard and demands of the day.

You simply cannot get the most out of the digital technology that you use in business if you don’t put the advice laid out into practice. What are you waiting for, then? Monitor your tech usage, make sure you know how to deal with faults, get your team on board, and get and stay updated!
