Technology Tree delivering our latest edition of updates, ideas and collaborations.
Hello from the team @ Technology Tree
We’ve reached March already! Say goodbye to long, hot Summer days as they mellow a little and lead to some cooler nights!
Like most industries, we’re continuing to experience some delays in products, suppliers, and services as COVID begins to infiltrate our WA bubble! We’d like to give a big shoutout to all our amazing clients for your continued patience!
We’ve noticed a number of our clients implementing COVID plans - are you ready to work remotely?
To keep up to date with what’s happening in the IT world on a regular basis, follow us on LinkedIn and Twitter.

Patch Tuesday: Microsoft regularly releases software patches usually every second Tuesday of every month for its software products. Please make sure you apply and restart you computer this week to have these updates applied to your device. For those of you who we managed under a service agreement we will be monitoring and will be in touch if they’re not being applied.
How to update: Allow yourself at least 10 – 15 minutes to fully shutdown and restart your system. This ensures patches are applied, this can also address (and solve) some problems you may be having with your system. You can also manually check by following steps that can be found here.
