VITAL SIGNS

I’ve always wondered why doctors use stethoscopes.

Given all the technology that exists in the world today in the medical field — Why would someone resort to something as simple as a stethoscope?

And the not-so-surprising answer is…

It allows doctors to monitor your body’s core functions.

While your doctor only monitors your health when you see him — your computers, on the other hand, need a little more TLC.

Now we all know that computer systems are not as sophisticated as the human body.

But like any system in life — computers need to be monitored.

They need regular care and feeding to be healthy and happy.

This brings me to the 3 main reasons why your computer needs to be monitored.

SECURITY

Your computer needs to be protected from you and from other people.

Yes, I just said you. 😊

Whether it’s you one of your coworkers or someone you don’t even know — your computer needs to be protected and secured.

PERFORMANCE

Believe it or not, computers get tired.

They can run out of resources for any number of reasons.

Things like hard drive space, memory, and other components can run out of space.

The same goes for applications.

Computers are man-made and as a result, they degrade and at some point, they’ll just stop working.

PRODUCTIVITY

Nothing sucks more than to come into your office in the morning and have your computer not work.

Actually, when your computer doesn’t work or your phone (for that matter) doesn’t work — it can be pretty frustrating.

For most people productivity is tied directly to their computing resources.

If you want to be productive, get a good computer and use some good apps.

You’ll notice the difference.

You don’t want to kill productivity, do you?

I didn’t think so.

SO MONITOR YOUR COMPUTERS

So there you have it.

The 3 main reasons why your computer should be monitored.

A good IT company will not only monitor your computer to know if it’s on.

A good IT company will monitor the vital signs of the computer.

And remember, the doctor only monitors when he sees you.

Your computer needs proactive care round the clock 24/7.
