Once again, it’s the third Tuesday of September, and you know what that means. It’s time to celebrate everyone’s favorite holiday, National IT Professionals Day!
At LRS, this is one celebration we take to heart. In just two days, our company will mark 45 years of providing IT products and services to businesses around the world. Starting with three mainframe consultants in a rented office, LRS has grown into a multinational provider of application and output management software as well as staffing, small business IT, and website services with more than 1,000 employees.
But we’ve never forgotten our roots or the reason for our success: the IT professionals who work day in and day out to ensure to keep the gears of business turning. Over time, most if not all industries have come to rely on computers, networks, and internet-connected devices to facilitate business transactions. IT professionals handle everything from installing and configuring PCs to developing applications, managing networks, monitoring security systems and more.
Some of these tasks are required as a part of daily operations while others occur on an as-needed basis. But how do the right professionals get matched to the right project?
That’s where a skilled IT staffing services team comes in. LRS Consulting Services brings talented IT experts together with businesses that need resources to fill a short-term or long-term assignment. The secret to their success? Solid relationships with both client companies and talented IT professionals. As LRS’ oldest and largest business division, LRS Consulting Services is focused on building and maintaining relationships that stand the test of time. In fact, LRS is still doing business with the very first customer we landed 45 years ago.
The IT services landscape has changed a lot over those decades. Gone are punchcards and tape storage; today, generative AI, machine learning, and data science are in demand. Companies are going to need experts who can not only work with these technologies but also integrate them into the client’s existing systems.
So, take a moment and bask in the appreciation that comes on this special day of recognition for IT professionals. Then look for ways to acquire additional skills that will serve you and your customers well into the future, including the most overlooked skill of all: communication. It’s one thing to have great coding chops or being able to sniff out security threats. But the ability to explain complex ideas clearly and work well with others will set you apart, ensuring your long-term success.
If you’re an IT professional looking for placement in an exciting work environment, reach out to the staffing specialists at LRS Consulting services. Likewise, if you’re a company who needs quality candidates for your most challenging projects, talk to the dedicated and dynamic team members that have made us a leader in the IT staffing field.
Either way, we wish a happy IT Professionals Day for everyone who make our modern business world possible.
