Even small IT staffs can accomplish big things

Fill in the blank: “Our company needs to _____________, but our IT staff is too small.” Based on feedback I received from a tech conference we recently attended, this is one of the biggest problems facing IT departments these days. IT professionals know how to help their companies, they just lack the time and resources to do anything about it.

It’s a depressing thought–knowing how to help your company but realizing that you can’t. You feel stuck. But don’t worry…if you’re facing this problem, you’re not alone and you’re definitely not stuck. Here are two stories of small IT staffs that found ways to complete urgent projects despite their limited staff. I hope you find them useful:

1. This 2-person IT staff found a way to quickly modernize their green-screen interface and replace their order entry system without bringing in any outside help.

2. This 3-person IT staff built a brand new, custom extranet, and did it faster than it would’ve taken to deploy an off-the-shelf option.

See? Even small IT staffs can accomplish big things!

One more thing to note
Both of the stories above involve small IT staffs tackling large projects with m-Power, but…what if your IT staff needs help with the little stuff? Maybe you want to add some custom javascript or HTML to your m-Power apps, but you don’t have the expertise to handle the job in-house.

Our consultants have expertise in a variety of areas, and will gladly step in and handle those little jobs that you’re struggling with.
