Consumerization of Technology – IT Managers
 Here’s our midmarket tech buyer, courtesy of a thread in

“Myself in particular, I am the sole IT Admin for a
medium sized construction contracting business.
However, I handle everything from Networking,
Security, Help Desk, Application Support ,
Server Administration dealing with Virtual
and non-virtual boxes , Managing exchange
servers, Website and FTP development,
Print services, pretty much anything you can
think of, as-well as Contract work for certain
CCTV projects dealing with Juniper switches.
I myself, am having trouble putting a label on
myself…”
