The 6 most common IT annoyances and what you can do about them

There is nothing as annoying (or as unproductive) as a computer that needs to be updated yet again, internet cutting out at home, a stuttering video meeting, forgetting passwords, and so on. These are the 6 most common IT annoyances and their solutions.

Setting up a new workplace

Whether you are just starting at a company as a new colleague or because the company has decided to switch IT environments: setting up a new workstation is often a task that takes up the entire day. By a ICT-partner By engaging someone who handles both the hardware and software for a new workstation, you save yourself a lot of hassle. This way, everything is arranged and set up at the push of a button, and you can get started immediately.

Internet speed

Internet slowness is one of the biggest IT frustrations, especially when working from home but sometimes also at the office. As a company, you can easily solve this by subscribing to a faster connection with greater capacity, but for individuals working from home, this is more difficult. Especially because a 'one-size-fits-all' solution does not exist.

Freezing programs

To prevent major problems involving crashing programs or even entire computers, it is important that they always remain up to date. Many employees will hastily dismiss updates. Neglected maintenance of operating systems and software then causes programs to eventually run like sluggish molasses. An administrator who schedules updates for you at times that cause the least delays offers a solution.

Verification codes and login problems

Nowadays, you need an excellent password for everything or have to log in with a one-time verification code. When you have to wait hours for a verification code, or it never arrives at all, it is a waste of your working time. The same applies to forgotten passwords. To make these login processes run more smoothly, you can offer your employees a secure password vault that remembers everything, or try to work in a single environment as much as possible if feasible. Verification codes are part of multifactor authentication and, unfortunately, remain a necessary evil.

Delay due to security measures

Online security is becoming increasingly important. To be as well protected as possible, this unfortunately also means that employees have to go through more and more steps to log in to sensitive data platforms. This also applies to antivirus programs, which can slow things down but are nevertheless necessary. To prevent data breaches, it is important to engage an experienced partner so that employees are affected as little as possible. However, even for a specialist, when it comes to security, it remains a balancing act between ease of use and the level of security.

Unreachable customer service

Do you eventually have a problem that you cannot solve yourself and is there no internal IT department available? Then you will have to contact customer service. There is nothing more annoying than waiting on hold for hours and still not having a solution to your problem. As a company, it is important to take these types of employee complaints seriously and to look for a ICT-partner who responds quickly and accurately to any problems.
