locally based support centre means

Invest in regional initiatives
In the region, in-house IT teams are
stretched, which is why IT managers
and decision makers often find it
challenging to keep up to date with
the latest trends in the industry.
This places a premium on market
knowledge and stepping in to fill this
gap could elevate your organisation
to the position of trusted advisor.
This dispersion of information is
better received when it isn’t just a
thinly veiled sales pitch.
Initiatives such as round tables for
CIOs and high-level customers that
foster the sharing of information
and best practice; quarterly forums
that outline and detail the latest
trends and developments; and even
webinars and training sessions are
all very effective means towards
this end. And while they will require
investment of both time and money,
they help build brand value in ways
that few marketing campaigns can
match.
