Too many tickets, lead to hiring more people, which lead to needing more clients who had too many problems. It took several years, but by utilizing standards and processes, our company is able to learn more about the businesses we work with, and through utilizing the technology as a tool as opposed to a cost center. We have helped many companies in different industries lower their risk, increase their productivity, and be better versus other competitors in their market. We look beyond the normal technology discussions to include examining HR and cyber insurance policies that can be overlooked by others and lead to unwanted results. Today, we service companies from 5-100 employees as a trusted technology business partner. Show less
