IT Strategy & Consulting
An employee leaves. Who changes the passwords?
Keys and laptops get collected on someone's last day. Accounts usually don't. A practical look at what stays open when people leave — and the one-page list that fixes it.
Hire IT staff or get a partner? An honest comparison
At some point every growing business asks whether it's time to employ its own IT person. Sometimes the answer is yes. Here's how to tell, without the sales pitch.
What an IT budget looks like when someone actually plans it
Most small companies don't have an IT budget — they have IT surprises. Here's the simple structure that turns technology spending from shocks into a line item.
Shadow IT: the tools your team uses that nobody approved
Work files on private accounts, free apps nobody signed off — why shadow IT happens, what it risks, and why banning it doesn't work.
What "we have a guy" costs when the guy is on vacation
Many small businesses run their IT through one informal helper. August is when they find out what that arrangement really costs.

How to choose the right IT partner for your business

Infrastructure & Maintenance
Reading your first network diagram (or drawing one)
When the internet dies, the first question is always the same: what is actually connected to what? A one-page network diagram answers it — and you can draw one in half an hour.
Why your Wi-Fi is slow — and it's probably not the internet
Before you call your provider or buy a faster plan: most slow Wi-Fi in offices comes from the network itself. Here's where to actually look.
The server in the closet: a field guide
Somewhere in your office there's probably a machine everything depends on — sharing a closet with cleaning supplies. Here's how to check on it.
The backups everyone thinks they have
Almost every company says it has backups. Far fewer have ever restored one. The difference between those two sentences is where businesses are lost.
Five signs your business network was built by accident
Most office networks weren't designed — they accumulated. Here are five signs yours is one of them, and what each one quietly costs you.
Server room monitoring: what to measure and why
A field guide to server room environmental monitoring — temperature, humidity, power and access. What matters, what doesn't, and how to catch problems before they become outages.

Croatia's anchor-price rules: what the Ministry clarified a week before the deadline

Croatia's anchor-price rule from 1 October 2026: what small businesses must publish, and how to automate it
