Beckie Barber

Owner, Sunset Flooring

I live in St. George, UT and work from home for a company out of Colorado, so I have to have my computer available and running at all times. Computer Connection, who I’ve been going to now for a little over four years, has been awesome with keeping me up and running. Whenever I or my husband have any problems with our computers, I take it to them and I usually have it back within a few hours or they take the time right then to see if it’s a quick fix. Their charges are very reasonable! These guys are very friendly and very helpful when we need them. I’ve recommended them on several occasions.

The professionalism and technical expertise of the Computer Connection team were evident throughout the project. They were always available to answer our questions, and their guidance was invaluable.

Owner, GOT Concrete

Friendly, affordable care that addressed all of my questions and concerns. Patient and spoke to me in words I could understand because this stuff goes over my millennial head. As a new business owner managing everything from my little laptop, Jake set me up with something called Huntress that will help secure my computer from bad people trying to take advantage of people like me that don’t know how to protect their stuff. I’ll be using these guys for any IT help in the future for my business and personal assets.

Sam Brown

Owner, Zion Mobile Massage

I’ve had a couple of situations that were not exactly what Computer Connection was set up to do, in both cases they went out of their normal range of services and solved my problems. One of the times they came to my home to make the fix. The services were completed promptly, efficiently and fees were reasonable. I’m glad to know they’re there and give them a strong recommendation.

If you want to make your life SO MUCH easier, trust The Computer Connection with all your IT needs!

Craig and his awesome team manage our IT for my small business. Their services are custom built for our needs and the amount of computers and the size of our network. They’re very knowledgeable, reliable, and trustworthy. I highly recommend this great company!

Jake Green

Owner, Dixie Moving and Storage

I had spent hours and hours online with HP Support trying to get my new HP Printer interfaced with my Laptop and seriously it was a terrible experience. I brought my laptop and printer into Jake and he had it up and running in 10 minutes. He even went so far as to install the best malware program for me and anytime I ever have technical issues I absolutely know where to go from now on! Thank you Jake!

What the AI Readiness Check Reviews

Practical planning for safer AI adoption

IT Baseline Review

Know Your Starting Point

AI readiness starts with knowing where your technology stands today. This review documents core systems, workstations, network structure, cloud tools, user access, and support processes so you are not making AI decisions from guesswork.

The outcome is a clear baseline that shows what is stable, what is outdated, and what could create risk if AI tools are introduced too quickly. That baseline gives you a practical starting point for better planning.

Data Access Review

Protect Business Data

AI tools often depend on access to documents, email, customer records, and internal knowledge. If permissions are loose or inconsistent, sensitive information can be exposed to the wrong people or tools.

This check reviews identity practices, account access, shared folders, device standards, and basic data handling. You get clear recommendations to reduce exposure, tighten ownership, and support safer AI use across your organization.

Security Readiness

Reduce Avoidable Risk

Before AI is added to daily operations, existing security controls need to be reviewed in plain language. This includes email security, endpoint protection, password practices, multifactor authentication, backups, and monitoring where applicable.

The goal is not to create fear. It is to identify practical gaps that could make AI adoption harder or riskier. Clear priorities help you strengthen the foundation before new tools increase the amount of data moving through your systems.

Workflow Fit

Find Practical AI Uses

AI can only help if it is applied to the right work. This review looks at common workflows, recurring support issues, repetitive tasks, and documentation gaps to identify where AI may provide value without disrupting operations.

You receive grounded recommendations that separate useful opportunities from distractions. The focus stays on smoother operations, clearer ownership, reduced manual effort, and technology choices that fit the way your team actually works.

AI Policy Guidance

Set Clear Usage Rules

Many organizations adopt AI tools before deciding who owns them, how they should be used, or what data should stay protected. This service helps define basic usage guidelines, approval steps, and support expectations.

That may include recommendations for staff access, acceptable use, vendor review, documentation, and policy updates. The result is a more controlled approach that helps employees use AI responsibly while keeping business systems simple, secure, and manageable.

Action Plan

Plan Measurable Progress

An AI Readiness Check ends with a practical action plan, not a one-time opinion. Findings are organized by priority so you can address the most important risks first and plan future improvements with confidence.

Recommendations may include system upgrades, security improvements, documentation updates, training needs, or managed IT support. Regular reviews help track progress, measure improvement, and keep AI planning aligned with reliable day-to-day technology management.

Know What Is Ready Before You Add AI

An AI Readiness Check helps you understand whether your current technology can support AI tools without creating unnecessary risk, confusion, or downtime. The focus is not hype. It is a practical review of systems, data access, security controls, workflows, and support needs.

You get a clearer view of what is ready, what needs attention, and what should wait. That may include identity management, email security, backup verification, workstation standards, documentation, and staff processes. The goal is simple: establish a baseline, reduce surprises, and build a responsible plan before AI becomes part of daily operations.

A Practical Review of Your AI Foundation

AI tools work best when the foundation underneath them is organized, secure, and actively managed. This readiness check looks at the areas that affect safe adoption and long-term reliability.

Current network, workstation, and cloud tool readiness
Data access, permissions, and identity management gaps
Email, endpoint, and account security concerns
Backup, recovery, and documentation weaknesses
Workflow areas where AI could help without adding risk

The result is a plain-language plan that separates quick wins from higher-priority fixes, helping you make informed decisions without needing a full-time IT staff.

Turn AI Interest Into a Clear IT Plan

An AI Readiness Check should lead to action, not a confusing report full of technical language. You receive clear findings, risk areas, and recommended next steps that connect directly to smoother operations, stronger security, and better planning.

The Computer Connection uses the same proactive approach behind long-term IT improvement: audits, baselines, regular reviews, documentation, and measurable progress. One client moved from a baseline score of 27 to 85 out of 100 within nine months. That same practical mindset helps you decide where AI fits, what needs to be fixed first, and how to move forward responsibly.

This proactive approach means you can adopt AI tools with confidence, knowing critical systems and processes are ready for the change.

What is the process for completing an ai readiness check?
