Ipswitch announced a contest encouraging IT professionals to tell the world why flexibility is so important to them and their IT environments. As so many IT professionals already know, it is very difficult to be flexible when budgets and resources are tight.
As IT environments continue to become more complex – and with so much of the onus of success riding on the shoulders of IT teams – the need for flexibility has never been greater. With Ipswitch’s #FlexibleIT contest, IT professionals can share with the world the reasons why flexibility is such an important part of successfully running an IT organization and supporting the business health.
IT team members should write down what IT flexibility means to them – or the main reason that IT flexibility is so critical to their success – and then post a picture of themselves holding the sign to Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram and include #FlexibleIT and @Ipswitch. Please note that Ipswitch needs to be able to see the photo, so private posts don’t count.
Once the picture is shared, Ipswitch will enter the poster into a drawing for a new Alienware 13-Inch FHD Laptop. There will be two winners named – one drawn at Ipswitch’s booth (#2857) at the Cisco Live! Show in Las Vegas, NV on July 13, 2016 and the other on July 22, 2016.
Ipswitch will notify the winners via the social channels used to submit the entry.
