Dealing with outdated IT support
Have you ever found yourself stuck in an IT support purgatory? You know the drill:
Scenario 1: You call your IT provider, hoping for a quick resolution. But instead, they log a service ticket and send you on a wild goose chase. You wait…and wait…only to receive a call back when you’re in a meeting or busy doing something important. You try calling them back, but they’re nowhere to be found. It’s a never-ending game of phone tag, leaving you frustrated and your issue unresolved.
Scenario 2: You decide to take a different approach and shoot them an email. You get a response promising assistance soon, but it’s just empty words. An engineer eventually calls you, catching you off guard at the most inconvenient time. And to add insult to injury, they’re just asking for more information before they can even begin to help you. Ugh, what a waste of time!
If you’ve experienced these infuriating scenarios, fear not! We’re here to tell you why traditional IT support is a thing of the past and how our fresh approach will make your life easier than ever.
So, why does traditional IT support fall short?
Well, let’s face it—most IT companies have been stuck in their ways for about as long as mullets were fashionable (thankfully, those days are gone!). They still follow the same tired routine: log a ticket, call back whenever, rinse, and repeat. But times have changed. With the internet at our fingertips, we expect instant access to information, quick responses, and control over our own destiny. Traditional IT support just can’t keep up, resulting in:
- Endless back-and-forth: Trying to find a time when you and the support team are both available becomes a real-life game of Tetris. It’s like trying to schedule a meeting with Bigfoot—nearly impossible!
- Ticket purgatory: Even a simple request for information gets sucked into the ticketing system, where it languishes for eternity. And guess what? That means more back-and-forth for you!
- The waiting game: Your IT provider decides when they’ll grace you with their presence, leaving you at their mercy. You’re left twiddling your thumbs while they leisurely sip their coffee, “hitting” SLA targets while you suffer.
- Where’s Wally?: Trying to get updates becomes a scavenger hunt. You speak to one engineer, then another, and another, with every conversation seemingly entering a blackhole never to be seen again.
- The double trouble: When approvals are needed, it’s a whole new level of frustration. The provider relies on internal staff, turning the already exhausting back-and-forth into an Olympic event. Two heads are not always better than one, especially when they’re going in opposite directions.
But fear not, for we have heard your cries for help and created a new approach to IT support that will blow your socks off!

Our engineers can then start resolving your issue immediately.
