A sea change is happening in the way we work. Like no other year, 2020 has shown us the importance of clarity in communication, the fundamental need for better ways to collaborate, and the team-building value of a united company culture. Client service expert John Harmon joins us to look back at JMARK’s recent symposium that focused on those three areas, charting the takeaways, revelations, and big moments that distinguished this one-of-a-kind event.

One big fear many organizations have is that they will have to lay off their internal I.T. staff in order to hire an MSP. But as you’ll learn in this episode, that’s not the case at all.

This special episode reveals the questions to ask and most important things to focus on if you want to strike right to the heart of the matter and determine if an I.T. services provider is the right fit for your organization.
