Working in IT, we see the behind-the-scenes of dozens of businesses. To many, a Point of Sale (POS) system is often viewed as just a digital cash register. It’s actually the central nervous system of a modern business. When it works, it is invisible; when it fails, the entire operation grinds to a halt. As we move through 2026, the complexity of these systems has reached an all-time high. Here are five of the biggest challenges we see businesses facing today from an IT perspective.

You’ve likely looked at your business’ technology bills and seen nothing but dollar signs leaving your bank account. For many, IT feels like a necessary evil or a cost center that only gets attention when something breaks. The hard truth is that many businesses fail to scale because their technology wasn't built for the growth they planned.

Working in IT, our job is to worry so you don’t have to. The things keeping us up at night in 2026 are vastly different from the headaches of five or ten years ago. Thanks to the invisible power of AI-driven automation and mature cloud ecosystems, many of the manual, soul-crushing tasks that used to define IT support have essentially vanished.

What goes through your head when you hear the words “IT audit?” Are you worried about your business’ deepest and most shameful technology secrets being exposed, or are you excited about the opportunity to resolve issues that you might not even know exist? We hope you have the latter mentality, as it’s the appropriate one—especially if you want to build a business that stands the test of time.

Does your organization have the good fortune of having an in-house IT department? More likely than not, even if you do, your department has maybe a couple of technicians at most, and they are all up to their ears in work, whether it’s keeping up with maintenance or struggling to implement new and innovative solutions. If you’re looking for ways to upgrade your organizational IT infrastructure, we recommend you start with a network audit to determine what needs to be done (and how we can help you do it).

Business leaders and decision makers have plenty to deal with… and that’s before factoring in all the problems and obstacles that pop up over the course of their normal operations, particularly when it comes to the technology their businesses rely on.

Naturally, a smart business owner would want their technology to be as reliable as possible, available without requiring conscious effort. As it happens, one of the modern options for IT support enables circumstances to be as close to this ideal as possible… but the other predominant option ultimately gives you more to worry about.

Are you blindly sprinting forward where your technology is involved, picking things that sound good, hoping you have enough forward momentum to reach the next stop? Unfortunately, this approach is often an option that many businesses take, usually to their detriment.

We want to remind you that you there is a better way: creating an IT roadmap to strategically merge your technology with your more functional business goals, helping you progress with every dollar invested.

The grind of daily business operations can feel relentless. From overflowing inboxes to endless task lists and scattered information, it's easy to get bogged down in the minutiae. That’s why it's essential to know—and utilize—the right technology to transform tedious tasks into strategically streamlined workflows, providing you and your team with more time and clarity. This month, we’ll take a look at some of the technology you can use to take a little stress off your grind.
