Sure, having a reliable service desk from your IT support provider is important. You and your workforce need somewhere to get quick and efficient responses to technical queries, whatever the day or hour. However, in the modern day IT support is about more than just password resets and locating files.
A great IT support provider should act as a valuable partner for your business. They should take the time to understand your needs, before finding the appropriate solutions for your business. They should evaluate your long-term ambitions and apply changes that can aid these. They should be a part of larger business discussions, as their support and advice should be valuable when discussing company-wide initiatives.
