Over 10 years supporting business.
While having worked wWhile having worked with some of the largest organisations we have experienced working with multiple in house IT teams, and most larger Professional Services Organisations and many smaller Product Vendors.

Each industry has its own complexities and issues, while they also have many similarities, and have fixed the same problems many times over.
