- How can technology help you serve customers better and attract the best employees?
- What are the basic pieces of IT equipment you need for a small office network?
- Can doing it all yourself be a bad thing?
- How is technology allowing small businesses to act like big businesses (but at an affordable price tag)?
- What is this thing called “the cloud” and why should I care?
These questions and more were answered this week by Cisco’s own small business technology experts, Andrew Sage and Ian Pennell, in a video interview as part of the Talk2Cisco series.
Earlier this week, Talk2Cisco featured two leaders in the small business technology industry, Ian Pennell and Andrew Sage. They took a number of questions from the viewing audience and talked about everything from what mistakes to avoid when upgrading your network to what cloud really means to small businesses.
Below are a few of the highlights from the broadcast. Feel free to send in a question for Ian or Andrew…I’ll be sure they get it. Or you can reach out to Andrew directly on Twitter @andrewsage.
