1) Summary: Tips for Standing Up New Tech QuicklyName: Patricia Staino Motley Fool - The Blueprint
Category: High TechEmail: query-ay35@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: Motley Fool - The Blueprint
Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 2 July
Query:
As small businesses try to "get back to business" many are
venturing into unchartered waters, purchasing software and
hardware that allows them to keep everything working remotely.
What are some tips for buying, choosing products, training
employees, setting up customer-facing systems that will allow
them to do this quickly and easily. We are particularly
interested in the employee training phase of this.
Requirements:
Looking to speak to small business owners who have successfully
done this and are doing well with their new technology; also
looking for IT experts who can offer tips on buying/choosing
tech, training employees, testing for bugs, keeping it secure,
and doing it all quickly (and affordably).

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 2 July
Query:
Prior to the pandemic, small business could exist without some
of the bells and whistles large corporations required. Now,
post-COVID, there are some things that are non-negotiable: ex. a
pool of reliable gig workers, a contingency plan, an on-call IT
repair team, a social media presence, a sense of humor, etc.
What resources have you added to your arsenal (if you are an SMB
owner) or do you recommend SMBs add to their arsenals to move
forward in turbulent times and an uncertain economy?
Requirements:
I'd like to talk to small business owners or small business
advisers about personal experiences as well as trends they are
noticing.

Query:
Often, when SMBs invest in technology for their organizations,
they skimp a bit on the network security. Now, as many have sent
workers home to work remotely, they are even more vulnerable to
cyber attacks. What are the most sensible, affordable, and
effective ways for small businesses (1 to 100 people) to protect
their hardware, software, networks, employee laptops, and
sensitive financial and customer data from attack?
Requirements:
Looking for cyber security experts who can offer advice to small
businesses on how to protect their technology and data from
cyber attacks. I need concrete examples--product recommendations
or at least product types and what to look for. Also need
general background on how widespread this problem is, and what
the biggest mistakes small business owners make when it comes to
safeguarding their technology.
