If you've been in IT for any length of time you have probably grown tired of never getting the credit and respect you deserve. It's understandable, as you are expected to create and maintain a perfect environment for communication, data security and new technology adoption with always-on access to data, zero latency and zero glitches. The pandemic ...
Never have we been in a more dynamic, fluid environment for IT professionals than today. The pandemic was all about battening down the hatches, then we (sort of) came out of it, then back in it again. Now, as you adjust your team to this somewhat precarious new normal and get some projects going, it's important to keep your eyes open for signs of p...
Are you letting months go by paying an unvetted assortment of suppliers, or with invoices that are getting paid without scrutiny, or contracts that haven't been re-negotiated for years? Why? The answer is that you don't have time to analyze every penny you spend. You have too much on your plate as it is. And now you have to concentrate your energy ...
We think that the best way to prepare for next year is to take an honest look at what you've learned and accomplished this year. That isn't always easy in that it involves reviewing what you've done with a critical eye towards how you can improve. The IT/telecom managers who do this, however, they tell us it's well worth the effort. They feel more ...
Hard to believe that we're on the edge of yet another new year. Things are beginning to look better, but there are still lingering challenges for IT and telecom managers to overcome. That said, it's heartening to see managers beginning to raise their heads above the fray, take a deep breath and get back into looking towards growth and future opport...

And employers are becoming savvy to the fact that this new level of flexibility is necessary to secure talent these days. That said, the hybrid model presents c...
Remember back around April and May when we were hopeful that we were "out of the woods" from the pandemic? Not so fast! A Gartner, Inc. poll of 238 executive leaders on August 24, 2021 revealed that 66% of organizations are delaying reopening their offices due to new COVID-19 variants. What does this mean if you're an IT or telecom manager? It mean...
One of the ongoing challenges IT/telecom professionals face on a regular basis is being bombarded by managers and end users with software and/or devices they claim to need. In some cases, they truly are needed and solve a real issue. However, in other cases it's more of a "nice to have" which can end up costing more than it's really worth. How ca...
Call accounting is a tool that has been around for years. And it continues to prove its worth for organizations who understand the value of having visibility over their networks, from end user calling patterns to utilization to fraud. Yet there remain some inaccurate assumptions about the role of call accounting in today's companies, not the least ...
If you are in charge of an IT/telecom department, you are probably still reeling from over a year of unpredictable, almost head-spinning series of ad hoc adjustments made to accommodate the needs of remote workers. You didn't have months or even weeks to adjust. These changes often happened in a matter of days! And yet, in the rush to adjust and co...
Stop Losing 11% on Every IT/Telecom Dollar You Spend! Does the idea of losing 11 cents on every dollar of your IT/Telecom spend bother you? What a question. Of course it does. And it should! Because, while 11 cents, in and of itself, may not sound like much, 11% of your annual spend equates to thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars ever...
For the IT/Telecom managers out there, if you're not already doing so, this may be the best time ever to get out your TEM and start using it. If you don't have a TEM, it's time to get one! TEM, as you may know, stands for Technology Expense Management. And, while, in its native form, it's been around for a while, few would argue that it's needed no...
Sharing the already-full plate of IT issues and challenges made worse by the pandemic are ongoing concerns over our changing security landscape. If you're an IT/telecom manager, you have probably had your agility and ingenuity challenged a few too many times last year. And 2021 is proving so far to be no different. Of course, high on the list of pr...

During this pandemic, we've all been quick to thank our frontline workers, usually hospital workers and others providing essential services. And rightfully so. But when was the last time you gave a shout-out to your IT/telecom frontline? They've been through a lot over the last several months, keeping networks up, keeping phones, computers, tablets...
If you are in IT, you already know how to do more with less. These days, those skills are needed even more. So, given the increasing numbers of technologies and apps you have to manage, right now you're keeping vendor contracts on the back burner. You'll get to them when things calm down, right? It's important not to let the disruptions caused by C...
Chances are that, if you run an IT department, your team along with your budget has been downsized. This pandemic has turned our world upside down and it's not over yet.
