We spoke to Tom to learn more about his eight years at Impact
Why did you choose a career in IT?
Like a few engineers here, I think my passion for IT started with PC gaming. Building my own PCs and figuring out why things don’t work properly builds problem solving skills that are easily transferred to an IT career.
What have you learnt during your eight years at Impact?
Where to start! – Working in an MSP exposes you to so many different types of technology and clients that it’s impossible not to learn something new. Over the last few years, I have particularly focused on becoming a Microsoft 365 expert.
What would you like to achieve in the future with the company?
I would like to continue to develop our cloud solution to include upcoming technologies that can make our clients’ lives easier.
Tell us about something you’ve achieved at Impact that you’re proud of
I am proud of the work I have put into developing Thrive and our new Teams Phone solution. If a phone system based on Teams sounds like something you’d be interested in, then keep your eyes peeled for more info!
Hear from Service Operations Manager Ash Farr who works closely with Tom, he said: “Wow, 8 years already Tom!
It’s amazing to see how far you’ve come, from humble beginnings as a 2nd line engineer to an absolute powerhouse in Cloud and Microsoft 365.
Your knowledge and passion for your work impresses me daily and is inspiring. You’re always there to help me and the team, and we really appreciate that (and you never miss a social event).
