Audit your technology

Work smarter not harder. Gathering a list of the tools you currently have could help you determine areas to streamline or invest to reach your goals.

Article

Estimated time: 4m

Review the tools you have today. Consider your future plans. Does your audit expose any unnecessary duplication? Can integrating new technology improve processes? Look at your goals. Is a big tech investment justified?

Complete your own tech audit

A basic tech audit should include a list of every computer, printer, router, external hard drive and any other hardware tool. It should also include list of every software system used by your business. Once you've completed your technology audit, you'll have the basic information you need to make future decisions, including what maintenance to prioritize and whether your technology can accommodate your expected growth. However, technology decisions are complicated and almost always require a deeper dive into the specifics of your goals, budget and available tools.

After adding your hardware and software tools, answer the following questions:

  • Are all of your IT procedures well documented? Do you have network security in place?
  • Are you complying with all relevant business regulations?
  • If you deal with health information, are you complying with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA)?
  • Do you have a regular data backup regimen and do you know how to recover the data?
  • Do you have an IT maintenance schedule?

Invest in technology

The right tools can mean everything. But how do you know which tech to invest in? Revisit your goals. What do you need to achieve this year? In two years? In five years? What technology do you already have that can help you achieve those goals? What technology might you need soon, and how might you expect to see a return on investment?

A technology services nonprofit called Tech Impact provides resources for nonprofits and businesses that need help with security, technology planning and more. Visit Tech Impact's Technology Learning Center for free reports, workbooks and webinars.
