In this short clip from a 2018 interview with Joe Campolo, Managing Partner at Campolo, Middleton & McCormick, Marty Schmitt talks about why planning ahead is the difference between an IT disaster and an IT inconvenience.
Looking back at events like Hurricane Sandy, Marty draws a clear line between responding well to a crisis and being prepared for one in the first place. Properly planning your network, knowing your phones, servers, and applications can move with you, having backups in place, and embracing a cloud strategy means a hotel conference room, a temporary office, or a remote setup can become a working office in hours rather than days.
Flexible IT helps Long Island businesses build that kind of resilience as part of our managed IT, technology planning, and Effortless IT services. We are headquartered at the Long Island Innovation Park at Hauppauge.

Planning is so important — and planning the right way, making sure that you have systems in place that can be supported in a situation like that. So we respond and do all the things we can to put systems in place and have space with people to work in, through something like Sandy.
It's another thing, though, to properly plan your network so that you're in a position to be able to pretty easily transport over to some other method of doing your work — whether it's at a hotel or in our space, our office. That means phones, servers, applications, making sure that you're backed up, making sure that you're embracing or figuring out some type of cloud strategy, so that you can pretty easily move into different space and come up as fast as possible.
Technology made effortless for Long Island businesses since 1984. See how we support our neighbors in the Innovation Park and across the Island.
