Life lessons stick with you. The basics taught in Little League are practiced by Major League Baseball stars. Fundamentals have staying power because they work. So the next time you’re recruited to take over a new site, make a list of all the location’s equipment and take notes with some healthy skepticism, as unfamiliar systems are often among the most dangerous to any organization.

A site systems technology audit and assessment checklist, like the one provided by TechRepublic Premium, can help make this process much easier.

From the checklist:

WHAT A CHECKLIST SHOULD INCLUDE

An effective site audit and assessment checklist should include breakdowns for all systems and equipment in the new site’s server room and network closets. To guard against administrative lapses and potential security risks, a site review should also collect basic audit and assessment information for workstations (both laptops and desktops), software applications and cloud services used at the new site.

The download comprises a five-page PDF and spreadsheet.
