As the year ends, it’s the perfect time to reflect on how your business’s technology has performed in 2024—and plan for an even smoother and more productive 2025.
At Simoda, we’re here to help you tick off the ultimate technology wish list to ensure your business is future-ready, secure, and efficient. Here’s our countdown to the top tech priorities for your business this Christmas season.
1. Upgrade your hardware for peak performance
Start 2025 strong with the latest hardware tailored to your needs. Whether it’s modernising your infrastructure with cloud solutions or investing in on-premises hardware designed for sustainability and storage efficiency, ensuring your technology is up to date is critical for meeting business demands and reducing downtime.
2. Plan a future-proof technology strategy
Don’t just react to challenges—anticipate them. Work with our specialist Professional Services team to create a robust, future-proof IT strategy. From leveraging AI to streamline operations to adopting cutting-edge tools for automation and data analysis, our team will help you design and implement a plan that sets you up for success in 2025 and beyond.
3. Protect your business with advanced endpoint protection
Cyber threats are constantly evolving, and your security needs to stay one step ahead. Implement advanced endpoint protection to safeguard devices across your business. From desktops to mobile devices, this is a must-have layer of defence for any business.
4. Train Your Team with Cyber Security Awareness
Your employees are your first line of defence, also known as the Human Firewall. Equip them with the knowledge they need to spot and prevent cyber threats with Simoda’s cyber security awareness training from market-leader KnowBe4. This investment will significantly reduce the risk of breaches caused by human error.
5. Simplify communication with unified solutions
Keep your teams connected, wherever they are. Unified communication tools bring together voice, video, and messaging into a single platform, making collaboration effortless and improving productivity across your business. With advanced AI and analytics built in so that you can see how your team is performing, they’re every business leaders’ dream.
6. Modernise with cloud solutions
Move to the cloud to unlock scalability, flexibility, and cost savings. Cloud solutions help modernise your infrastructure, making your business more agile and adaptable to change. Plus, they align with sustainability goals by reducing reliance on physical hardware.
7. Enjoy peace of mind with IT Managed Services

It’s in the news every week and it’s not a case of if a cyber threat will happen but when. A proactive cyber threat response plan can mitigate risks and minimise downtime, protecting your reputation and data.
9. Boost productivity with Microsoft Copilot
