Ever felt overwhelmed by the complexities of IT in your business? In this episode, we’re getting a behind-the-scenes look at what the IT department actually does (and doesn’t do) for small to medium-sized businesses with my guest, Colin Poon Tip.

Listen in as Colin explains how IT can support your business goals, not simply sell you on the latest tech. Forward-thinking business owners incorporate IT into their business strategy to help plan for the future.

As a global IT consultant, Colin helps companies with networking infrastructure. He serves high-profile clients, including a prominent restaurant chain.
