This short piece of writing will explain the steps a business should follow before installing new software on to their computer systems. This means that they will have a safe and speedy download that doesn't affect the day to day trading of the business.
1.) Before even starting the installation the user or business needs to decide when the best time for it to take place in order to keep the business open as usual or minimise downtime.
2.) The next step would be to back up all the files on the system (if possible) to stop the update making them corrupt are deleting them all together.
3) A company would need to make sure that they had sufficient licensing to install it on the right number of devices.
4.)The next step is to make sure that the hardware the device being updated uses is compatible with the software being installed.
5.) Knowing the download time and seeing whether it interrupts business hours would be the next step.
6.) If that is acceptable then the software can be downloaded, after it has finished, check it works by opening the application in question to see if it runs smoothly, in a business you would need to designate a team to test all computers before workforce returns to work.
7.) You would then need to restart the computers to make sure they work after being turned off. If all computers are working then you are OK to go ahead with business as usual.
This piece of writing has taught me how a business should download and install software onto their computer systems. They need to follow these 7 simple steps in order to make sure that the business has time for trading before and after in their usual hours which will decrease the risk of business downtime.
