If you’re an IT manager tired of battling downtime and feeling overwhelmed with day-to-day emergencies, there is another way…

I know what it’s like to be an IT professional without support. There are constant fires to put out and no time for long-term strategic planning. Forget about turning off your phone during a vacation.

It’s an issue that can affect you and your entire IT team. According to [Skillsoft](https://www.skillsoft.com/blog/the-top-10-challenges-it-teams-face-in-2023), more than half of all IT managers are regularly looking for another job within less than a year of being hired.

My team and I have seen this scenario many times, and we put together a new whitepaper called "[Calming IT Chaos: Proactive Practices for IT Serenity.](https://www.matrixintegration.com/calming-it-chaos-commercial-whitepaper)" Our aim was to create a practical roadmap to shift your company’s focus from fixing problems to preventing them in the first place.

In it you’ll find:

- The story of “Rick,” an IT manager who responds quickly to everything that needs immediate attention, but somehow is always falling behind
- The Four Pillars of Proactive IT
- Tactics and strategies to empower people in non-IT departments to share the workload
- Approaches to get buy-in and support from senior management

In the end, improving uptime and IT operations is great for your company, but it’s even better for your company’s most valuable asset – YOU, and your colleagues who work to keep your IT running smoothly. Work-life balance matters. And creating a more predictable, efficient and secure network makes it that much easier for you to live your life.
