One second after the lights went out, someone in the Superdome simultaneously sprung into action while breaking into a cold sweat - knowing full well they needed to resolve a problem with half the world watching.
IT managers everywhere looked on and sympathized. In a global marketplace, IT departments are responsible for having systems, tools and data available to end-users and customers around the clock. And like a good offensive lineman, no one seems to notice until something goes wrong and your quarterback is lying broken on the ground.
SHI understands. That's why our February 2013 newsletter previews some new technologies that will ensure your proverbial lights are "always on".
Learn how we can help analyze what is deployed throughout your environment vs. what your volume licensing agreements entitle you to in 6 Reasons Why SHI Should be Your ITAM Partner. Or check out how we helped some healthcare clients save money and increase availability by moving big data to the cloud.
Being "available" means supporting mobility. Check out Everyone Needs Mobile Device Management, but Nobody’s Buying it for some tips on MDM.
As always, let us know if you have any questions…we’ll leave a light on for you!
