What does the global chip shortage mean for your business?
You’ve heard of the global chip shortage, right? There just aren’t enough chips being made for all the devices that need them.
These days everything needs a chip – even your fridge has them.
It started during the pandemic as production fell while demand went up.
Other events since have made it worse, including extreme weather, the Ukraine war and a factory fire.
But could it affect your business? In a word… yes.
Some of the technology you need to run your business isn’t available quickly.
It might be easy to get hold of many laptops right now. But other devices used behind the scenes – such as network switches – are in short supply.
Be aware prices are going up, too.
Our advice is to talk to your technology partner and plan ahead. For any upgrade, the earlier you start discussing it, the better.
We can help… get in touch, call us on 01423 438953 or fill out our contact form.

It certainly clashes with Microsoft’s newly published standard for responsible AI, which will be used to guide the tools it builds.
On top of the Azure Face change, Microsoft’s also limiting which businesses can access its Custom Neural Voice service. This is a text-to-speech app that’s said to be very lifelike.
It’s clear that AI tools are the way forward for software. I wonder how that’s going to empower your business in the years ahead?

“Our email wasn’t performing very well so we asked Hamilton Group to take a look & Carl proposed to migrate us to MS Exchange.
Carl was very helpful throughout & the migration went very well.
He was on hand to sort out any teething issues, taking calls early morning & into the night, to ensure we were up & running smoothly.
Would recommend for knowledge, attention to detail & great customer service.”
