Gathering Like Minds

In: Collaboration

15 Jun 2007

I’ve had an idea in my personal vision for about 6 months now of creating some means for like-minded geeks to connect and collaborate casually across the niche industry that Zing IT is in. I’d define that as restaurant/specialty food with a strong focus on quality of food and quality of customer experience. The latter is the outcome of excellent service.

In our IT department within Zing we’ve worked really hard to be strong contributers to the positive culture that our business has created and it’s been powerfully rewarding. We consistently receive the highest service rating for our work within our organization and providing that level of service is inherently personally rewarding – it’s a great feedback circuit.

Our challenge is to continue to provide knowledgable IT support in a rising tide of higher expectations, more complex offerings from vendors, increased security concerns and compliance standards, all within an industry that is traditionally not inclined to embrace technology.

For that reason it would be great to share with other geeks in our world.

“…researchers found that most small-business owners don’t identify a single “solution leader” to solve an IT problem, such as a software manufacturer, vendor or consultant. Instead, they look to see what other small businesses within their industry are doing. While cheap and convenient, this method might not always prove to be helpful, researchers said.

They said IT businesses needed to make “concerted efforts” to fill in this role. ”
