Operating Small Business: 23 employees, 30+- devices, sub-$5mm/yr gross sales, 10,000+ subcontractors nationwide.
Questions:
1) Should I outsource local network config and monitoring, and to who and what extant?
2) Which hardware/software solution is best for current network function/scalability? (Cisco NFGW comes to mind but I’m outa place)
3) Can I set up the network securely with phone support?
4) Should I upgrade all business PCs to Windows 10 Pro?
5) Does each PC need antivirus or only sensitive ones, or does a good firewall solution eliminate need for PC level antivirus?
6) How should I feel about remote employees using their own PC or should I provide company wide PCs? Should I know anything else about remote employee availability?
7) Probably 100 more questions... I’m open to outsourcing or consulting agreement if necessary. We use Office 365 apps across multiple devices.
