This document discusses how technology needs and business needs change over time as a company grows. It outlines three common phases that companies go through: 1) startup phase, 2) traditional reseller phase, and 3) in-house IT team phase. However, it notes that the world has changed and companies now need flexibility, speed, and proactivity in their technology. The document promotes an "On Tap" IT service model which provides everything a company needs for its technology in a predictable monthly fee per user. This outsourced approach can save money compared to maintaining IT in-house. It provides tips for companies including sorting infrastructure needs and fast, reliable internet being critical for business needs.
