Collaboration vs. Isolation

John Donne, the 17th century poet, once said, “No man is an island...” Yet, many IT professionals are operating in isolation... kind of like the character Tom Hanks played in the 2000 survival film, “Castaway.” His only support was a volleyball affectionately named Wilson. Spoiler alert, one drowned, while the other barely survived.

A dedicated (isolated), in-house IT technician can be an asset to your company when dealing with immediate technology needs. However, IT issues are often complex and challenging—larger than one person can handle on their own. Many in-house IT techs struggle to keep their heads above the water or find themselves dealing with issues outside of their wheelhouse. Perhaps there just isn’t enough time in the day for them to tackle every issue. They often must choose between jumping into one BIG fire... or scurrying about to extinguish many LITTLE fires. Juggling these responsibilities can be overwhelming, which in turn, can lead to critical infrastructure falling through the cracks, or even worse, employee burnout.

Adding Capacity Mitigates Risk

Adding a team of IT professionals alleviates some of these burdens from the in-house IT staff. The increased capacity will also help cover any knowledge gaps that may be present. Even the most highly qualified techs have niches in which they are not entirely proficient or confident. Smart companies know it pays to mitigate these risk factors before disaster strikes. The opportunity to lean on a team for help can be an invaluable asset, not only for the internal IT professional(s), but for the company as a whole.
