Why Other IT Providers Don't Suck

In this episode, Conor is setting the record straight. He doesn't think that break-fix IT providers suck. He doesn't think that they're bad at what they do.

Tune in to hear why the "break-fix" IT model doesn't fit the needs of modern businesses, how the providers who help on an as-needed basis are actually good at the technical stuff, and when the right time (and size) is to move away from break-fix into more of a proactive style of IT support.
