 Although all companies want their IT to run smoothly, this goal continues to become more difficult for most businesses 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 with his 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.” Pritchett oversees a team of highly skilled engineers at Matrix Integration who are seasoned experts when it comes to assessing and evaluating a client’s needs. They understand that there’s rarely time for an IT staff of large, enterprise organizations to focus on long-term projects.

Ivy Tech Community College Bloomington and West Washington High School have entered into an Early College partnership that enables all students to earn college credits in high school. Students now have the opportunity to get a head start on their post-secondary education, including earning the Indiana College Core (ICC). The ICC credential is a 30 credit hour general education core of credit guaranteed to transfer between public colleges and universities.
With the Early College program, students are enrolled in high school and college simultaneously, saving time and money on their college education. Students will earn college credits through dual credit, dual enrollment, and other forms of credit such as Advanced Placement. “Early College enables us to promote postsecondary access and success while saving on college costs which are very important for students,” said West Washington Jr-Sr High School Principal, Angela Girgis. “As a small rural school, Early College ensures that West Washington High School students receive the same significant advantages typically only offered by larger high schools.” |
