Can I.T. Be Done in 30% of Your Time?

Technology has become a critical component to every business- the daily operations, the long term success. As a piece of your organization that heavily impacts the outcomes of your business- can you afford to have someone who only dedicates 30% of their time to it? Can IT be done at a 30% level? And more importantly, can it be done well at a 30% level? 

Having IT done internally, by someone who was not hired to do IT alone is no longer sufficient for the importance IT has on the success of your business.  

How does not having someone solely hired to focus on IT impact your organization? 

• 30% of time taken away from the job they were hired to do- leading to hiccups in efficiency and frustration.  
• Lack of diligence in protecting your business and responding fast to technical issues.  
• IT can’t be done at a 30% level. 
• Something that every single employee uses, interacts with, has to be protected, handles customer billing, communication, your financials, backups, etc.

It is no longer about the virtual captain obvious- it is about leverage 

IT is no longer about the "virtual captain obvious" aspects, but more than ever- IT should be about leveraging your technology, to increase the success of your business. 

How can you start shifting your perspective from the "virtual captain obvious" mindset to a "how can I leverage my technology" mindset? 

1. Stop focusing on the number of tickets your IT provider closes. 
2. You are thinking about how to protect yourself, but not thinking about how to use technology.
