Yesterday’s Blackberry fiasco quite clearly demonstrates the need for IT in the workplace, especially if you are running a large company with millions of users worldwide.

Somewhere along the way, something went wrong with Blackberry’s technological service, causing a chain-reaction that managed to affect all other users around the globe. This disruption created a massive need for IT personnel and technicians in order to fix it, and prevent profits from being lost.

In this situation, IT can be used to prevent further incidences. They can now look into whether the company should invest in better service, more failsafe measures, better equipment, whatever it will take to make sure this never happens again. If a company did not have IT, how would they be able to deal with any technological issues that will inevitably arise because, well, technology is no where close to being perfect (although Steve Jobs got it pretty damn close).

Blackberry users should find the man who fixed their service, and thank him/her dearly. Mind you, this might make them realize that no matter what, iPhones are, and always will be, the best.
