A CEO's Survival Guide to Information Technology (IT)
Ignorance of technology is the new measure of illiteracy. Is it hurting you and your business? Are critical IT decisions being made by the right people in your organization? In many small to medium-sized companies, key business decisions are being made by the IT support folks (geeks), while technology decisions are being made by management. Too often signals get mixed and decisions with less than ideal judgment or clarity are made.
You don't need to become a geek to make the best decisions or to grasp what your technology people are saying. You just have to develop some insight and intuition between the two worlds to effectively do your job. This book will not turn you into a geek, but will teach you the important concepts behind the impact that IT has on your business.
I Don’t Want Your Job: Is Co-Managed IT Services the Right Fit For You?
Can internal IT departments partner with Managed Service Providers (MSPs)? Historically, the answer has been “no way.” MSPs usually replace internal IT people, right?
Not anymore. Enter CoMITs, Co-Managed IT services. A partnership between Internal IT folks and MSPs that provides better service than either model can by themselves.
This book is written specifically for the Internal IT folks. Are you being approached by an MSP with a CoMITs proposition? Is this for you? Will your life (and career) be helped by this relationship?
By creating a mutually supportive relationship between the Internal IT employees and your MSP organization, both parties’ benefit through a strong relationship. You can do this without surrendering your position with your employer. In fact, CoMITs will increase the value you provide to your employer.
