A smarter, more productive year starts with the systems you rely on every day. As businesses look to strengthen their IT support and cyber security in 2026, even small changes can deliver significant improvements in how teams work, communicate, and stay protected.
The new year is the ideal moment to refresh old habits, streamline your digital workspace, and make the most of tools like Microsoft 365 and Lari – Singularitee’s intelligent system designed to help SMEs work more efficiently.
Whether you’re hoping to tidy up Teams, strengthen password security, reduce digital clutter, or explore AI safely, 2026 offers a great opportunity to set better foundations.
Lari is kicking off the year with a set of resolutions to inspire smarter, simpler, and more secure ways of working – let’s find out what they are.
Lari’s Smart Tech Resolutions for 2026
As we step into a new year, Lari is already looking ahead at the simple tech habits that make work smoother, safer, and more productive. These resolutions encourage small but meaningful changes that help your team stay organised, protect your data, and get more value from the tools you already use.
Here’s what Lari suggests focusing on in 2026.
Reduce Clutter in Teams:
Microsoft Teams is brilliant for collaboration, but it can easily turn into a jumble of old channels, long threads, and duplicate files. When things feel messy, people slow down, and simple tasks take longer than they should.
Lari’s first resolution is to help businesses create a cleaner, more organised Teams setup. That means:
- Checking which channels are still active.
- Using templates for project spaces.
- Archiving anything that’s no longer needed.
- Setting up naming conventions everyone actually understands.
With recent data revealing an average of nine hours is wasted each week due to workplace inefficiencies, this significantly reduces lost hours of productivity for staff.
Tidying up Teams gives your staff quicker access to the things they need, keeps collaboration consistent, and helps everyone understand where information should live.
Review Your Data Retention Policies:
Data builds up in the background every day. Old client records, outdated documents, archived projects – they all take up space and quietly increase your compliance burden.
Lari’s next resolution is all about refreshing how you handle and store information. A good review includes:
- Identifying the types of data your business keeps.
- Setting clear timelines for how long each category should be stored.
- Automating archiving or deletion.
- Making sure everything aligns with current legal and industry standards.
Businesses that hold onto unnecessary data for too long create extra risks and have higher storage costs. Treating data retention as an ongoing practice keeps your organisation lean, efficient, and compliant.
Say Goodbye to Weak Passwords:
Weak passwords are still one of the easiest ways for attackers to slip into business systems. Many users stick with simple combinations or reuse the same password across multiple platforms.
Lari’s resolution focuses on building stronger everyday habits. This includes:
- Rolling out a password manager across the organisation.
- Turning on multi-factor authentication (MFA).
- Giving your team clear guidance on what a strong password looks like.
Lari helps make these habits effortless, so secure access becomes part of the rhythm of work. When the whole team follows the same approach, your organisation is far better protected.
Try Out an AI Co-Pilot:
AI tools have become reliable, practical assistants that can take on repetitive tasks and free up time for more valuable work. Many organisations already use AI for things like:
- Summarising meetings.
- Drafting reports.
- Categorising documents.
- Creating templates.
Lari’s final resolution is to help businesses explore AI in simple, approachable ways.
The goal is to introduce tools that genuinely lighten the workload – whether that means automating admin, helping staff process information quickly, or generating content that speeds up everyday tasks.
AI isn’t here to replace people. It’s here to support them, reduce repetitive work, and create more room for the tasks that matter most.
