Traditionally, small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) equip their staff with personal computers (PCs) for work. But in recent years, some organizations have been provisioning thin clients instead. Should your company switch to thin clients, too?

With more and more employees working remotely, virtual meetings have become an essential part of doing business. However, the transition from in-person gatherings to video conferences has been challenging for some companies. For example, some struggle with technical problems or distractions during their online meetings.
Over the years, technology has increasingly become crucial to the success of modern nonprofit organizations. Unfortunately, some nonprofits cut corners when it comes to their IT infrastructure due to the lack of operating funds. What they fail to realize is that investing in IT can actually help them operate more efficiently and cost-effectively.
