There are many more tools which benefit businesses and are used on a daily basis by managed IT services, whether industry-specific or not. However, we believe these are the top three that most businesses who use computers would make a massive impact on their business productivity and efficiency by simply implementing these simple, but vital business tools.
Physical Business Tools
USB to ethernet adapter
If you are ever working online and suddenly your computer will not connect to the internet, however, the internet is still up and running, you can still connect using a USB to Ethernet adapter. This allows you to plug in an ethernet cable via your USB port. This will then directly connect you to the internet without having to rely on a wireless connection, allowing you to continue working with a temporary fix whilst the underlying issue is being solved.
Precision screwdriver set
This is a pretty generic tool that the majority of businesses will require at one time or another. Some businesses will find more of a need for a good screwdriver set, other businesses will have that one thing that requires a specific screwdriver. Having this set lying around somewhere is guaranteed to save day at some point.
USB to SATA
This is a life saver if anything were to go drastically wrong with your computer to the point it cannot be turned on. Using the correct screwdriver from the set, you would be able to extract the internal hard drive from your broken computer and use the USB to SATA cable to pull the data from the internal hard drive. This is a great backup option and means you can save your data before disposing of the machine. However, you should always make sure that your computer is encrypted with something like bitlocker. This means if your internal hard drive was stolen and the criminal tried taking the data using the USB to SATA cable, they would not be able to access the confidential company data as it is encrypted with a bitlocker key, which only authorised people would know.
