Written by Technology Pointe
We'd really like to gear this conversation towards the other Texas business owners out there who might not have a solid plan when it comes to IT & Computer Support. At Technology Pointe, we deal with a lot of the same business-related issues that our clients do. Marketing, driving the business forward, taxes, internal policies, you name it. Believe it or not, we also have our own IT infrastructure that needs to be kept up and maintained. We see the same kinds of expenses (after all, working on our OWN technology internally is time our techs could be doing their jobs). We've put together a few big mistakes that we've seen businesses make that take much less effort to prevent than they do to fix later on when it is too late.
We're asked all time, both by existing clients and during dialog while on boarding new prospects to our All Pointes Covered™ IT Support Services. 'What exactly is the point of running Windows updates, especially when my workstation or server is running fine?'
We'll cover why updates are so important, discuss a couple ways you can make sure they are always done as well as how we test and prevent "bad updates".
Technology Pointe began with the idea that superior support for businesses is not an impossible feat. Possibilities are actually rather limitless in the new ways we can find to help your company manage its IT support and computer services to provide the best solutions for clients. With this in mind, we've launched our corporate blog to further help you get the most from your services and enhance your online presence.
Our blog will stay posted on our latest features and updates, useful tech news, as well as tips and best practices for running your business more effectively.

We are always looking for new ways to provide better services as well, if you would like to submit a comment or question please use our contact page to get in touch with us.
How To Choose Very Strong Passwords That Are Easy To Remember
Written by Technology PointeI don't know about you, but I don't want to remember and type an epistle when I fill out a password field. And, ideally, I don't want to use the same password on many sites, because if one is compromised then my entire life is unlocked.
I want to show you here how to choose very strong passwords for every website that you use, that are different for each website, and are each only 9 characters in length max.
A study found that an 8-character password that's constructed in the manner I'm going to show you has 7.2 quadrillion different combinations, and will take 83.5 days to crack if the hacker can try 1 billion different passwords per second.
