A Day In A Life Of An IT Manager
Back when an IT Manager sat behind his desk, listening to cassette tapes and programming in DOS, there were few complications - and those could be resolved with a quick walk around the office.
Today, things are very different. Not only can he play Call of Duty at his desk, but he can write iPhone apps and his IT estate can span the glove. He has to be a Superhero to manage it.
Although Absolute Manage means that he can fix most employee issues without leaving his seat.
