Welcome to the IT Collab website!

We're here to create a community where business and IT professionals can come together to fill any knowledge gaps in IT.

Originally, we were a group of IT Engineers in Managed Services & Consulting. We noticed that many business professionals who lead organizations didn't fully grasp what IT could do for them or how it all fits together.

We've been involved in projects ranging from small tasks to major mergers, helping IT pros learn new technologies and preventing issues before they arise. We've also seen organizations confused by their IT service providers, and we want to empower people to understand IT better.

Join us in breaking down IT barriers and having a good time doing it – our Podcast is just the beginning of our journey!
