Community Podcast: The Next Level – IT As A Revenue Center
Welcome to The Next Level, a new podcast in the Packet Pushers’ Community Channel that delves into IT management and leadership.
Engineers, architects, and operations pros live and breathe technology, but that technology comes tangled up with business requirements, management issues, and interpersonal relationships.
You can’t ignore the business and human elements of your job if you want to thrive at work and advance your career.
Hosts Damian Huising and Drew Conry-Murray will explore management, leadership, and professional development topics geared toward networking and IT pros.
The first episode, IT As A Revenue Center, looks at six ways IT pros can generate revenue for the organization. IT has a reputation as a cost center, and we talk about how to flip that perception on its head.
Jay Mellon, CEO of AtNetPlus, joins us to offer his insights on how IT can add value and help drive the business forward.

* Get more out of existing data
* Work with marketing, sales, and other departments to enable new business
