The Relational Side of IT: Why It Matters More Than Ever

In the past, IT was often seen as purely transactional: fix this, install that, respond to a ticket here, patch a server there. However, as a leader, it’s become clear that IT is deeply relational, much more so than one might initially think. Consider this: you’ve hired an IT company to streamline your processes, secure your data, or support your team with the right tools and tech stack. It seems straightforward, right? But there’s a significant flaw in this line of thinking. Your business is powered by both technology and people.

With this combination comes the risk of data breaches, malicious actors, and well-meaning but naive employees. When the unthinkable happens—be it a server crash, data breach, or files being erroneously erased—everything grinds to a halt. Productivity plummets, and there’s no bandwidth to focus on anything else.

In such moments, IT shifts from being important to being urgent. It becomes a fire drill. Much like having a relational insurance agent when you get into a car wreck, you want your IT provider to be on it and fixing it—immediately. You don’t want to be just another ticket; you want to be seen as a business owner in crisis who needs empathy and swift action.

This level of support doesn’t happen by accident. As we venture into 2025, it’s crucial to ask yourself if your IT partner cares enough to work tirelessly to prevent the unthinkable and stand by your side, working as if it were their own company when a crisis occurs.

Relationships matter in IT. There’s no way around it anymore. The good news is that when you remember this is your ‘baby’—your business—it makes sense to partner with a team that cares deeply.

Choosing the right IT partner is critical. You need a team that combines empathy with technical expertise. A team that:

– Understands your vision and aligns their services to help you achieve it.
– Responds to challenges with empathy, knowing your success is their success.
– Operates with transparency and accountability, building trust over time.

At the end of the day, IT is about business, sure. But the best Managed Service Providers (MSPs) know it’s ultimately about YOUR business, not theirs. That shift in perspective changes everything.
