Most small businesses don't plan their technology. It grows with the business: a new laptop here, a shared password there, files spread across a few different places.
It usually works fine, until someone on the team loses an afternoon to fixing something, or you realize nobody's quite sure how things are set up. That isn't a failure. It's what happens when people are busy running a business.
Groundwork helps you step back and see the whole picture.

Email and business accounts
Why they're the center of everything else, and what a well-organized setup looks like.

How to stay secure without making your team's day harder.

Computers and devices
What keeping them current, protected, and easy to manage looks like in practice.

Why a simple record of what you have makes every other part easier.
What we'll cover
Business owners, office managers, and anyone who ends up being "the tech person" at work. Whether your team has 3 people or 50, you'll leave knowing what's in good shape and what's worth a closer look.
Who it's for
Groundwork is hosted by Erik, founder of GranIT Services, a managed IT provider in Round Rock, Texas. GranIT helps small businesses keep their technology stable, organized, and easy to support, so the team can focus on the work they're actually there to do.
