Most business owners treat their office computers like breakroom microwaves: they expect them to work until they physically stop turning on. It’s a logical approach for a toaster, but in the professional world, a computer becomes “old” long before it actually breaks.

As a business scales, a break-fix mentality becomes a massive anchor. It may have worked when you first hung out your shingle, but you aren’t just managing laptops anymore; you’re managing cybersecurity threats, cloud migrations, and data compliance.
