Here's how:
When you run a busy IT department your days are anything but predictable. All it takes is for your network to bog down or a virus to rear its ugly head for your department to get turned upside down. And, as your team scrambles to fix the problem, you're probably experiencing way more finger pointing than support and cooperation.
Many would sigh and say, "That's just the nature of the job". But it doesn't have to be. Today's users are savvier than ever when it comes to technology. With a bit more effort put into the right areas, you can turn your end user relationship from an antagonistic one into one of mutual respect and teamwork. But it will require asking yourself and your team some key questions. And you will need to open up the door to change.
Here are some things to get your team thinking:
No one really understands or can appreciate the challenges busy IT departments face. Most end users tend to over simplify issues and assume that, if you take longer to solve a problem, it has nothing to do with the complexity of the problem, it's just that you either lack the skills or don't care.
At TTI we understand how challenging it can be for IT departments to try to please everyone. One day you're a hero, the next day your team is labeled as "don't know what they're doing". The better you manage your technology, from your networks to the devices and software that run on them, the more control you will have over the quality of the service you provide to your end users and to your company. Give us a call. We can help you gain better visibility over your entire network and save money in the process. And that's a great place to start.
