Often times an organization feels like they have all (or most) of their IT decisions under control. Things feel like they’re in a good place, and everyone is on the same page. For some organizations though, things are not—and a massive transformation project is undertaken to make sure everything is in the right place and operations are running smoothly.
Until it isn’t, and the process starts all over again.
This process is happening faster—and in much shorter cycles—than ever before. The ability for organizations to have the internal expertise to tackle IT challenges and adapt their processes to meet new technologies and growing customer needs is becoming increasingly difficult. Consequently, more and more IT personnel are pulled away from tasks they should be working on, to try to handle the next iteration of micro or macro change that feels never-ending—because it’s truly never-ending. Just when staff are certified on AWS and begin to understand best practices for managing RI’s, AWS Savings Plans is launched (not to say anything of the discount offerings coming out of Azure and GCP).
IT’s mission of keeping employees (specifically, their use of technology) safe and ensuring business operations continue to run smoothly is more important now than ever before. Meanwhile, IT is also tasked with balancing new products and features, change at the executive level, and managing new workspaces, both physical and remote. No company, no team, is prepared to handle that pace of change alone—the time to work with a partner is now.
Partners have the expertise on-hand to insulate organizations from having to adapt to that rapid change internally, and recommend solutions and provide services that can allow everyone to refocus on more strategic tasks. Your partner also becomes a single, trusted advisor on a wide range of products to streamline billing and reduce the number of procurement cycles, calls, questions, and of course, invoices.
Making big IT decisions is hard, finding a partner to help you navigate those decisions shouldn’t be. Start by locating a partner here.
