Trust And Intuition
IT support in Oklahoma City is often approached from a relationship angle. While this can seem a reliable option, in reality it might not be. Information Technology naturally manifests security issues. Data is sensitive, and in the wrong hands could serve to implode entire companies, regimes, or even countries. Globally, information is so important that any country with a budget has a bevy of "intelligence officers" spying on one another.
IT and The Intelligence Industry: Closer Than You Thought
IT in the private sector has a great deal of analogues to the intelligence industry. IT is like the intelligence industry of the modern business. As such, many organizations try to find friends that they know will have emotional loyalty that transcends simple business partnership. This can be an intuitive bridge, but sometimes intuition shouldn't be followed.
Beyond Intuition
IT support in Oklahoma City that comes from a friend can be like that dangerous romantic interest in your life. You know the one. They raise all kinds of "intuitive" ideas; but in the end you have no doubt that you'll be left broken and heartsick. Infernal Venus (or Adonis) always has that effect. The point is, our intuitions are not always our strengths. Your friend who goes hunting with you may be pretty decent facilitating the IT services he or she provides. But you may also be a liability to this individual. Think of it this way: as that individual is loyal to you, so you must in some equal measure be loyal to that individual. This means you'll get a call during some inconvenient month that ends up scaling back your IT functionality so your friend can competitively handle a new client, or something of that ilk.
A Blade That Cuts Both Ways
Sometimes, going the friendship route can actually serve to trap your compadre in the same way it traps you. And that's not to mention the possibility of poor IT support. You can only spend so much trust before you need to take a loan out with the remote support bank. Does everyone in upper-management have friends who provide the best IT in their area? It doesn't seem likely, or possible. The thing is, sometimes you'll be settling for less efficient IT because of an over-sensitivity to data security. As a business grows, there comes a point where IT performance and security can't be sacrificed one for another. You'll have less difficulty when you reach this point if you've already moved into a professional IT relationship that isn't hampered by conflicting loyalties and divided interests.
