Why an IT Environment Review Could Be the Smartest Move You Make This Year Most businesses have that one area they rarely think about until something goes wrong. It might not be a physical storage room, but rather a collection of systems, software, applications, and processes that have accumulated over time. Everything appears to function normally on the surface, so there is little reason to investigate further. Yet beneath that smooth exterior, hidden IT complexity can quiet
