Security can be challenging, even when you have the requisite protections in place. Passwords are too easy to forget, and a fob or token can be misplaced. One thing that’s a lot harder to forget or lose, however: your fingerprint. Why not take advantage of what you and your entire team inherently possess to help protect your business? Let’s dive into how biometrics—who you are—is quickly overtaking “what you know.” Tags: [Security](https://jobs.datalyst.net/blog/tags/security) [Passwords](https://jobs.datalyst.net/blog/tags/passwords) [Technology](https://jobs.datalyst.net/blog/tags/technology) [0 Comments](https://jobs.datalyst.net/blog/is-your-fingerprint-your-new-password#comments) [ Continue reading](https://jobs.datalyst.net/blog/is-your-fingerprint-your-new-password) [ ![Daniel Mathieu](https://jobs.datalyst.net/images/easyblog_avatar/808_808_blogauthor.png) ](https://jobs.datalyst.net/blog/blogger/daniel-mathieu) ## [3 Major Benefits of Outsourcing Your IT Management](https://jobs.datalyst.net/blog/3-major-benefits-of-outsourcing-your-it-management) Monday, 23 February 2026 [Daniel Mathieu](https://jobs.datalyst.net/blog/blogger/daniel-mathieu) [Datalyst Blog](https://jobs.datalyst.net/blog/categories/blog) [IT Blog](https://jobs.datalyst.net/blog/categories/it-blog) [ ![3 Major Benefits of Outsourcing Your IT Management](https://jobs.datalyst.net/images/easyblog_shared/February_2026/2-23-26/b2ap3_large_OutsourcedIT_1887423377_400.jpg) ](https://jobs.datalyst.net/blog/3-major-benefits-of-outsourcing-your-it-management "3 Major Benefits of Outsourcing Your IT Management") It’s easy to fall into the trap that you have to be the entire C-Suite for your business all in one. You should be running your business, not managing its IT infrastructure, and trying to do it all will only pull your focus away from what matters most. Instead of worrying about endless security threats, unpredictable technology costs, and countless tech support questions, you should work with a managed IT provider.

It should, but not for the reason you might think. While a disaster is the initial shock, it’s the prolonged downtime that follows that truly cripples a business. It’s a slow-motion drain on your resources, and without a proactive strategy, those lost minutes can quickly translate into thousands of dollars in wasted overhead.

Let’s fire up the time machine and look back at the technology of thirty years ago.

With so much information to share throughout the workday, tools like Google Chat have no trouble proving their worth. That being said, there are niche use cases that many might assume are beyond the capabilities of Google Chat and its ilk… for instance, scheduling a message to be sent at a later date. As it turns out, Google Chat has this exact ability, hidden in plain sight.
