One Triton Square joins London’s best-connected buildings with Vorboss 100Gbps connectivity through British Land partnership
Microsoft has just announced an option for people to trial new features before their general release in Windows 11.
This isn’t about fixes to security flaws – everyone gets those at the same time.
This is an opportunity for businesses to jump the queue to receive new features and updates first.
Sound exciting?
Yes!
Worth the risk?
Not quite.
Our advice?
Patience is a virtue!
Sure, it may be tempting to give in to the tantalising prospect of new features… nobody ever wants to wait. But jumping aboard any trial phase comes with risks.
Bugs, errors, and other stumbling blocks could have a significant impact on your operations, potentially causing chaos in your daily workflow.
Waiting until features have completed a thorough trial process gives you the advantage of other people’s experience. They’ve already dealt with the complexities so, by the time you get the new features, they’ll be polished and dependable. And isn’t that more important for the smooth running of your business?
Trust us, the safe road is the smart road, especially when your business systems are involved. The benefits of being an early adopter may seem enticing, but you don't want to end up being the guinea pig.
Remember the old adage… good things come to those who wait!
We’re all for keeping up with the latest technology and software updates, but there is a time to exercise caution, and this is one of those times. Don't be tempted by the shiny new features.
- Be patient
- Stay safe
- And ensure that when the time comes, you're getting something that’s proven to work
Microsoft already has a lot of (tested and approved) features that can boost productivity and make your work processes smoother. We spend a lot of time helping businesses find the right ones for them.

Tired of the constant flood of MFA notifications? 😩
Cybercriminals are banking on your "MFA fatigue" to access your sensitive data. BUT Microsoft's got a solution! Curious?
Let me explain:
- Microsoft Authenticator now offers number matching to help protect users from MFA fatigue attacks. When you get an MFA notification, the app shows a random number you need to input, ensuring it's a real login attempt. No more guesswork! 🔢
- But wait, there's more! Microsoft Authenticator also supports biometric authentication. That means you can use your face, fingerprint, or other unique physical features to verify your identity. Say goodbye to remembering all those codes! 👋🔐
- This makes it harder for cybercriminals to exploit your MFA fatigue and gain access to your business data. Remember, these attackers deliberately flood employees with MFA notifications, counting on you giving in to frustration or exhaustion.
- Microsoft Authenticator's number matching and biometric features act as extra security layers, making sure that cybercriminals can't take advantage of your alert overload.
- Already using Microsoft Authenticator? Great news! Number matching is ready to use - just ensure your app is up-to-date and you're good to go. Start protecting your business data today. ✅
- If you're using a different MFA system, consider how it can be improved or made easier. Don't let MFA fatigue compromise your security!
Stay safe out there! 🔒🚨

Are you tired of wasting precious time in meetings, only to leave feeling confused and disorganised?
Do you struggle to keep track of all the action items and follow-up tasks that come out of these meetings?
Microsoft Teams has launched a new feature which could solve your problems and boost productivity.
Meeting Recap is an AI-based intelligent meeting recap feature, available exclusively to Teams Premium subscribers. This innovative feature harnesses the latest in artificial intelligence technology to generate comprehensive summaries of your meetings.
That means no more tedious recaps… but hello to accurate and efficient summaries that capture all the key points from your meetings.
The Meeting Recap feature doesn't stop there. It automatically identifies action items and follow-up tasks, assigns them to team members, and even sets deadlines for completion. This means that everyone involved in the meeting knows exactly what they need to do and when it needs to be done. A great way to improve communication and collaboration within your team.
But it's not just about efficiency. The meeting recap feature also offers customisable options to tailor the feature to your specific needs. Choose what information is included in the summary to ensure that you receive the most relevant and useful information possible.
If you’re not a Teams Premium subscriber, are there benefits of investing in this new feature?
Yes! For starters, it streamlines your workflow, saving you both time and money.
You don’t have to waste hours trying to decipher meeting notes and action items. Instead, you'll have access to a clear and concise summary that you can refer back to any time.
Additionally, it improves organisation and accountability within your team. With assigned action items and deadlines, everyone knows exactly what is expected of them.
Don't underestimate the power of this new Meeting Recap – it's a game-changer for businesses that want to increase productivity.
Don’t wait. If you need help upgrading to Teams Premium, we’re here for you.
You may think that cyber attacks only happen to large corporations. But unfortunately, that's not the case.
According to a recent report, almost two-thirds of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) suffered at least one cyber attack over the past year. That's a staggering number, and it should serve as a wake-up call for businesses everywhere.
But it gets worse.
More and more businesses are also experiencing repeat attacks, with 87% reporting at least two successful attacks over the past year. And on average, a company suffers almost five successful cyber incidents.
Terrifying.
The question is, why are these attacks happening, and what can you do to prevent them?
The most common types of cyber attack that businesses face are malware and ransomware.
Malware is malicious software. It invades your system and can cause all sorts of problems, from slowing down your operations to stealing your data.
Ransomware is even more dangerous as it encrypts your data, making it impossible for you to access it unless you pay a ransom fee. This can be devastating for any business and can lead to significant losses and downtime.
What factors are contributing to more successful attacks?
One reason is the rise in BYOD (Bring Your Own Device). This means employees using their personal devices to access company information, which can be risky.
Another factor is the explosion of productivity apps, which can create security vulnerabilities if not properly secured.
Finally, the number of devices we're using now means there are more entry points for cyber criminals to exploit.
The good news is that there are steps you can take to protect your business. Here are five solid security steps you can take.
- Use strong passwords: Passwords are your first line of defence, so make sure they're strong and unique. Better yet, use a password manager that can create and remember randomly generated passwords
- Keep software up to date: Software updates often contain security fixes, so make sure you're always running the latest version. This applies to both your operating system and all applications you use
- Train your staff: Educate your employees on how to identify phishing emails and other scams. You can also run regular security awareness training sessions to keep everyone up to date
- Backup your data: Doing this means if you do suffer a cyber attack, you can restore your systems quickly and with less disruption
- Use antivirus software: This can help protect your systems from malware and other threats. Make sure you're running a reputable and up-to-date solution
Remember, prevention is always better than cure. Take action today to help you stay protected.
And if that seems like a lot of extra work, let us help. Get in touch today.
In the fast-evolving world of technology, business owners and managers like you are always looking for the next big thing to give them a competitive edge.
Have you considered how AI tools might be able to help?
ChatGPT – or Generative Pretrained Transformer, if you want to get technical – has been making big waves all year. It’s an AI model developed by OpenAI that’s designed to generate human-like text based on the prompts it's given. Think of it like having a professional writer at your beck and call, ready to generate content, answer queries, or even draft emails whenever you need.
Lots of other AI models have also been released, including one from Google called Bard. Unlike ChatGPT, Bard can browse the web for its answers (you can do this in ChatGPT, but you must be a paying Plus subscriber and have switched on web browsing in the settings).
Some businesses are already using AI tools, mainly for customer service and content creation. That’s like buying a Ferrari to drive to the supermarket. They can do so much more!
Here are three of the other ways an AI tool can turbocharge your business…
- Stay ahead with trend detection: Remember the feeling when you realised too late that the last ‘big thing’ could’ve been a gold mine? With an AI tool, you'll set the trends, not follow them. Ask it to "Provide a short analysis of the latest [insert your industry] trends", and you're armed with powerful knowledge.
- Enhance productivity with keystone habits: Increased productivity is the holy grail for any business owner. With an AI tool, you can tap into cutting-edge research to supercharge your work habits. Ask for the "top 5 latest ways to [improve a specific area]". We bet you spot a new idea you’d never thought of.
- Make better decisions with summaries of complex events: Ask your tool to explain [something complex] to a 12-year-old… that’s a clever way to get a summary anyone can understand.
ChatGPT, Bard and all the others are more than just AI writing assistants… they’re your secret weapon in the business world. It's time to stop using your Ferrari just for the supermarket run and start taking it for a real spin.
If we can help you use AI more in your business, get in touch.
How often have you been in the middle of an urgent email, attaching a critical file, only to be met with the dreaded notification – "file too large to send"?
Frustrating.
Well, Microsoft has heard our collective sighs of exasperation. They've announced an update that promises to banish the 'file too large' issue.
And this is one of those rare times where something that feels too good to be true is actually true!
In an official post on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant’s revealed its plan to integrate Outlook with Microsoft's OneDrive cloud storage platform.
It means when you hit that attachment size limit, Outlook will ask you to upload your file to OneDrive, so your document still reaches the intended recipient.
Clever, don't you think?
Android devices get this new feature first, but the rollout is due this month for everyone else. We don't have long to wait.
Soon you’ll no longer need to compress, resize, or even abandon your large files. Or turn to third-party services (which can be a security risk). Microsoft's paving the way for a smoother, more efficient email experience.
