 Although all companies want their IT to run smoothly, this goal continues to become more difficult for most enterprises as they struggle to keep up with day-to-day IT operations, according to the expert engineers at Matrix Integration, a strategic IT infrastructure partner for more than 1,000 businesses and schools in the Midwest and beyond. The 2022 Data Protection Trends Report1 from Matrix Partner Veeam confirms that 90 percent of organizations have an “availability gap” between what business units expect from IT after a data breach, loss or breakdown, and how quickly IT can return the company to productivity.
Tim Pritchett, engineer operations manager at Matrix, is also a former CTO who has seen this situation play out often in his previous organization as well as in current clients. “We always get calls for emergency situations, like when a system goes down and the company realizes data hasn’t been backed up for three months,” said Pritchett. “It’s like getting a call to put out a fire, when some proactive maintenance would have prevented the fire in the first place.”

Hoosier Hills Food Bank is creating a new program that will identify people who are eligible for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits and assist them in applying for and obtaining them. A new SNAP Outreach and Application Assistance Coordinator is charged with working through existing HHFB programs and agency partners and creating new collaborative relationships to improve SNAP participation in the food bank’s six county service area.
Feeding America estimates that 15% of eligible SNAP beneficiaries do not receive benefits, creating greater food insecurity and often placing a greater responsibility on the charitable food assistance network. “For every meal provided by the charitable food network, SNAP provides 9. It is critical that we connect people who are eligible for SNAP with the benefits they need to be food secure,” said HHFB Julio Alonso. “The fact is that food banks and food pantries simply can’t get enough food to keep up with what has become a consistently high level of need. We don’t have enough food or monetary donations to supply everyone. We need to be innovative and look at ways to help food insecure people find additional benefits to help them through difficult times.” In 2022, HHFB distributed 5,639,291 pounds of food, it’s second highest year ever. Yet less than two-thirds of its partner agencies reported receiving enough food. “70% of our agencies say that their numbers are increasing. With inflation hitting people with low or fixed incomes especially hard right now, it’s critical that we use every means possible to get them the food they need and that includes enrolling in SNAP if they’re eligible,” said Alonso.
