The main goal of any successful IT provider is to support and continually adapt to your customer's needs and requirements.
A successful #ITcompany must always be adaptable. Not only is technology changing constantly, but regulations and laws also change. Without continued education, many IT providers rely on outdated information, which affects their methodology. Galleon understands this, which is why we continually educate our team on the latest tech.
“Being adaptable to any curve balls thrown our way has kept us ahead of the game." Amanda Ware, Co-founder & CFO
Everyone uses #technology on a day-to-day basis. Whether you test lab samples or send out invoices, most people use technology because of their job. Every industry has different needs, and it is the job of the IT provider to adapt to those needs. Adaptability is about keeping your hardware and tools up to date and the #IT providers themselves. If your IT provider is unwilling to adapt to your organization’s technology needs, they are not doing their job correctly.
