Operations & Maintenance

Unless your business is IT, no organization goes into it fully understanding the complete scope of what is required to keep computing systems and applications functioning, up-to-date, and effective. The IT industry has created a world of “open the box, press a button, and wait for the magic” and that approach works in our homes and our schools so it will work in our businesses too. Right? Wrong!

 

In the “wait for the magic” world of IT, technology is the driver and the user just goes along for the ride. Sure, you might have picked where you were going but the hardware platform and software packages you buy are going to determine how you get there. That is NOT how your business should operate. Technology is an enabler, not a driver. Your business needs must drive your IT requirements. If you let the capabilities of your “open the box” IT drive your business, be prepared to lose focus and customers. If you need directions, be prepared to call and wait. Your organization does not have time for that. Your customers do not have time for that. Your competition certainly is not waiting on that.
