Wishing all of our customers, partners and colleagues a very Happy Christmas and New Year🎄🎉 The GHM office will be open as usual (other than Bank Holidays) and of course our support team is always on hand for those out of office emergencies 👍

FAO IT Managers and Business Leaders managing MS licenses... Not very festive we know (sorry!) but as you may have seen in the press, Microsoft will be implementing price increases for several licenses, inc Teams Phone, Power BI and Copilot, particularly for monthly subscribers. You can see the full details here https://lnkd.in/gZhU7_F7 As a Microsoft Partner, we can carry out a review of your existing licenses to see how you can mitigate the increases and plan your transition. Reach out to Neil McManus for more info 👍 #microsoft #microsoftpartner #itsupport

Lots of fun, laughter and (terrible) singing at the GHM Christmas party on Friday. Thanks to the GHM team for a great evening and to The Breakfast Club for looking after us 🙏 A very special mention also goes to Mike Hill for winning our 'Players Player of the Year' as voted for by all at GHM. Congratulations Mike! 👏

Elsewhere in GHM...our specialist care home division has been busy launching a great new telephone service for care home residents. No more long contracts or analogue cabling...just a simple digital, big button phone with short rolling contracts and the easiest set up. So good, it's been featured in loads of trade press such as Caring Times, The Carer UK and Tomorrow's Care. Well done team on another great product development that solves a real problem 👏 #telephony #telecoms

Cybersecurity stats probably don't feel like a priority in your feed right now, but it's worth glancing over these highlights from the latest Hiscox Cyber Readiness Report...they're not just for large businesses either: ➡️ 67% of firms report an increase in the number of times their organisation experienced a cyber attack in the past 12 months ➡️firms identify a greater number of employees using their own devices for work as a contributing factor ➡️56% believing GenAI will significantly impact their cyber security risk profile (but 64% of leaders also believe GenAI will be pivotal in shaping their cyber security approach by 2030) ➡️firms spent 11% of their IT budget on cyber security in 2023, with smaller firms dedicating a larger proportion of their budget You can read the full report below or reach out to Calum Clewer and ask about our new all-in-one security bundle (and happily read stats like this with a new found confidence 😉). #cybersecurity #itsupport #itsecurity #oxfordshire

It's here...WiFi as a Service 👊 Our brand spanking new WiFi as a Service (WaaS) is a more cost-effective way to upgrade or install business WiFi. Like lots of other ‘as a service’ solutions, WaaS combines infrastructure, software and managed services all through a single monthly subscription. Read about it below or reach out to Neil McManus or Peter Crosby to find out more 👍 #wifiasaservice #waas #itsupport #businesswifi

Don't forget to divert your calls over Christmas 📲 With December approaching, we need to make sure that your calls are directed to the right place over the festive period. One of our team will be in touch to see if you have any requirements, but if you want to get ahead of the game just drop the support team a ticket 👍 #telecoms #telephonesystem

Not only is Helen & Douglas House an amazing organisation, they're also an amazing customer. We've supported their IT systems and provided a VoIP telephone system for a number of years but the team recently made the decision to fully outsource the full IT function to GHM. Helen & Douglas House is delighted with how it's going and we're privileged to get to work even more with the team there 🙏 Read all about the transition and what's it's like to outsource such a large operation 👇 #oxfordshire #ITSupport #ITService #outsourcing

With NatWest Group joining the move to block messaging services like WhatsApp, Facebook and Messenger on company devices, it could be a good time to consider the sensitive data or issues that your staff might be discussing on them too. Our device management service can lock down devices to stop users from installing private apps and functionality, keeping any software or apps relevant to your business 👍 Reach out to Neil McManus or Peter Crosby if you want to know more. #mobilesecurity #ITsecurity #telecoms
