Over the years, Sr. IT Consultant, Mike Oster, has seen quite a few “IT Miracles.” Some seemingly small. Others not so small. One of his very first experiences with such a miracle was a frantic call from a client whose laptop would no longer boot. While the client was fully aware there was no backup in place for her laptop, she still expressed the need to retrieve absolutely “mission critical” data from the failed device.
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness…” This famous line from a A Tale of Two Cities can be said of some of our experiences with our clients. At IT Radix, our purpose is to help our clients succeed.
