The Backstory

In the beginning, quite a few decades ago, IT support was like a friendly neighbor who'd come over to fix your computer or get that pesky printer working. They were the folks you'd call when something broke, and you'd hope they could wave their magic wand to get things back on track. This was the era of helpdesks—your go-to for tech hiccups and headaches.

New Challenges & Changes

But then, the world started spinning faster. Technology zoomed ahead, and suddenly, businesses weren't just hoping to fix broken things. They needed their tech to be faster, smarter, and ahead of the game. The stakes were higher, and so were the expectations. It was no longer just about fixing problems; it was about avoiding them in the first place and finding new ways to win the race. In fact, did you know that the average percentage of IT support requests resolved through self-service solutions remains relatively low, hovering around 10% for US-based insourced service desks.

IT Support is a day-to-day necessity in 2024

This is where our heroes—IT support teams—started transforming. They began to see around corners, predicting problems before they happened. They became champions for businesses, not just fixing what broke but also guiding companies on how to use technology to zoom past their competition. IT support became the secret sauce for businesses wanting to do more, be more, and achieve more.

At MIS Technology Group, this transformation wasn't just happening; it was leading the charge. IT support quickly evolved from answering support-related phone calls to joining C-suite boardroom discussions, advising on strategy, and ensuring that digitization was not just a tool but a turbo-charger for all departments.
