Happy National IT Professionals Day! Annually on the third Tuesday in September, today honors any and all of the venerable geeks of the world we each rely on to keep us connected.
The IT (information technology) professional is the unsung hero of modern business. These under-appreciated wizzes tackle the obstacles that leave the rest of us scratching our heads.
Whether it be desktops, laptops, mobile devices, applications, servers, networks, databases or cybersecurity, IT professionals keep business humming.
However, there is often a lack of understanding by business leaders and end-users of the important role they play and the difficulties and complexities associated with modern IT.
It’s also a great day for IT professionals to showcase their expertise. While they’re often solving computer and network issues, they also have a knack for developing and creating.
Their insight into the technical universe brings numerous opportunities to individuals and businesses alike. If you tap into all their innovative knowledge, you might be surprised where it takes you.
HOW TO OBSERVE
If you’re an end-user, simply say thank you to the IT professionals that make your life easier. You can also give them a shout out on social media.
If you’re a business leader, in addition to saying thank you, also recognize and seek out the unique insight your IT professionals can provide in today’s always-on, always-connected world to help you make smart strategic business decisions.
Recognizing the value of an IT professional will lead to a greater competitive advantage. Highlight their accomplishments as well. You might discover untapped potential if you do.
IT professionals, share why you love what you do. Encourage others interested in the field.
While you celebrate the day, include other IT professions. Host competition or propose a challenge. The winners get bragging rights until next year.
Also, share #ITProDay on social media to increase awareness of just how important our IT professionals are.
HISTORY
