Somewhere along the way, IT professionals lost track of their ultimate objective. They started seeing their role just in terms of hardware and software: a job focused on updates, clouds, and servers. But clients aren’t measuring their satisfaction through bytes, bits, and boards. They’re measuring it through how well their technology delivers the data and personal connections required to run their business.
