EXTRA, EXTRA READ ALL ABOUT IT!

FIRE YOUR IT DEPARTMENT - only if you want better service for a 1/5th of the cost.

How self serving of an article to come out of writing retirement with. After all I am a businessman and probably better than your IT Guy anyway which is why I've had my own successful IT business for years. But enough about me, we're here to talk about you and your bottom line even though I thoroughly enjoy talking about me.

How can I get better service for a 1/5th of the cost? It's real simple actually, just hire someone who has a vested interest in getting the job done as fast as possible to your 100% satisfaction. Job not done, job not paid for. Job not perfect, job not paid for. All the power is in your hands as it should be. Not likely you'll find that in an employee.

The faster an employee gets a job done, the faster you hand them their next deadline for the same pay, nothing changes. Don't get me wrong I don't have anything against employees, in fact, your employees will break more things on your network than you ever will which is great for me, but almost every business model needs them, yet there are some areas of your business that don't need them at all and why pay for a service you should hardly ever use.

The reason you should hardly ever need your IT guy is that everything should be set up and working properly to begin with. If it's not then your IT guy is doing something wrong or just too busy playing World of War craft across the T1 line you also probably have no use for.

I wish I was making this stuff up, but I'm just not.
