IT Genie New Recruits - photoshopped image for social distancing considerations
During this tumultuous year IT Managed Service Provider (MSP), IT Genie have further established themselves as the fourth emergency service to their clients; Hiring new employees across the organisation to help support new clients and business growth.
Denoted as ‘Key Workers’ according to government strategy, IT Genie were able to request their staff to work from the office as usual, but as technical experts they led the way establishing remote working for all staff, while assisting their clients to do the same.
“While we have seen a rise in requests for cloud migration amongst our clients”, said Gino Choucair, Managing Director of IT Genie, “If anything the majority of cloud migration projects were in their planned IT strategy - just given a new priority”
Where appropriate IT Genie recommend cloud-based solutions, from amongst their complete portfolio, and their customers are reaping the benefits; Improved business agility, flexibility of remote working, scalability, pricing, and of course reduction in on-premise infrastructure maintenance – especially when there are limited staff in the office to maintain devices.
“One of IT Genie’s core beliefs is providing Success Through Technology” advises Gino, “and to this end we invest significantly in Automated Systems across multiple areas including our ISO accredited UK Service desk, and business operations. This inclusion of the latest remote monitoring and automated systems translates to network intelligence and business efficiency.”
“However, despite the best systems in place, the real strength of IT Genie comes from its employees, and to provide our growing client base with a level of service-excellence that I expect, we have expanded our team”, enthused Gino, “Since isolation, we have recruited five new staff members across a number of key departments including one returner. All the new team-members come from within the Gatwick Diamond, a number facing redundancy due to the current situation.”
