If you ask any attorney, there’s nothing more frustrating than sitting down with a full day of billable work ahead and having your technology fail you. With many small to medium-sized law firms managing their own infrastructure, IT issues typically fall into the hands of the most tech-savvy employee available. But it’s no secret that a lawyer, paralegal, or office administrator is a little out of their element when trying to simultaneously function as an IT professional. Technology is causing time to slip through the cracks, and in an industry where time is money, a better solution needs to be implemented.

However, proper IT budgeting can help businesses get a sense of where they’re starting and put them on the track towards a better network.

The new year has surely brought on new tech stories! January's tech roundup includes the latest information on Amazon's upcoming plans, details on overheating HP batteries, a new autonomous vehicle, and more.

It goes without saying that education is one of the most important gifts in life. With technology constantly changing the way we learn, developing an IT strategy is important to obtain educational goals as we move into the future.
