Firms may be turning away from PCs

It is no surprise that many companies make use of business IT support in London. These days, organisations tend to rely heavily on their computing systems and if and when problems arise, it is important that they have access to London IT support to enable them to continue functioning properly.

Meanwhile, it seems as though demand for services like this will remain strong over coming years. Research conducted by Virgin Media Business has drawn attention to the increasingly sophisticated IT systems being used by organisations.

For example, of the 500 chief information officers it polled, 62 per cent suggested that PCs are the most likely devices to become redundant within the next five years. At the other end of the scale, smartphones were identified as the items least likely to fall out of favour.

Of course, firms will not simply stop using technology. Instead, new items will come into fashion. In order to keep pace with changes like this, it may help firms to have access to business IT support in London.

Commenting on the findings, chief operating officer of Virgin Media Business Tony Grace said: “The pace of change with technology is having a transformative effect on the way we work. A decade ago it would have been unthinkable to suggest an office without telephones. Now it’s hard to imagine being separated from our smartphones.

“Mobile connections to the internet are getting better by the day. Commuters in London can now access WiFi under the streets of the city at stations across the Underground network. Almost everywhere we go we’re able to check-in at the office, social networking sites or simply contact friends and family everywhere we go. Because of this, businesses have recognised the importance of the mini computers that smartphones have essentially become.”

These days, it is easy for managers to source any London IT support they require to help ensure their organisations function successfully.
