In today’s fast-moving world of business technology, choosing the right partner can be the difference between success and frustration. While national conglomerates might boast scale and name recognition, many Long Island businesses are discovering that their service just isn’t what it used to be.

At Central Business Systems, based right here on Long Island, we’ve built our reputation on something different: personal relationships, honest recommendations, and flexible solutions tailored to you.

The Problem with Conglomerates

Large national providers often offer a limited product line, favoring their own proprietary systems or pushing a one-size-fits-all solution. Their customer service has become increasingly transactional. Long wait times, impersonal support, and rigid processes leave customers feeling like just another number.

In today's digital world, healthcare providers and organizations must navigate a complex web of regulations to protect patient data. Chief among these is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which establishes national standards for safeguarding sensitive patient health information. Compliance is not just a legal obligation; it is critical to maintaining trust and protecting your practice from costly fines and reputational harm.

That’s where Managed IT Services from Central Business Systems come in.

1. Proactive Security Measures

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, businesses rely heavily on technology to maintain efficiency and stay competitive. However, many organizations on Long Island are unknowingly hindered by aging infrastructure, particularly in their print services and IT environments. Outdated systems not only slow down operations but also introduce security vulnerabilities and unnecessary costs. Central Business Systems specializes in helping businesses modernize their technology to stay ahead.

The Impact of Aging Print Services

Printers and copiers are often overlooked when assessing IT infrastructure, but they play a critical role in daily business operations. Here’s how outdated print technology can be a liability:

Many small and midsized businesses outsource some or all of their day-to-day IT functions to a managed service provider. But some company leaders do not realize that they can also outsource their Chief Information Officer (CIO). 

In December 2024, PowerSchool, a widely used educational technology platform, experienced a significant data breach affecting school districts across the United States, including several on Long Island. This breach has raised serious concerns about data security and privacy, particularly for businesses and organizations that manage sensitive personal information. 

At least ten Long Island school districts, including Uniondale, Roosevelt, Jericho, Hicksville, Glen Cove, West Hempstead, Lynbrook, Middle Country, Massapequa, and Smithtown Central, have reported being impacted by this breach. The compromised data may include the names, addresses, Social Security numbers, medical records, and academic information of students, parents, and staff.
