People work for us because of our mission, our mission is important and everyone who works with Good Shepherd is passionate about delivering that mission” says Scott Hamilton, IT Services Manager.

Additionally, having access to resources who have varied IT skill sets is something every business can benefit from, particularly when it comes to knowing what the latest trends are for business technology” says Hamilton.
THE SOLUTION
“Powernet has been a partner of Good Shepherd for over 10 years now, we use Powernet primarily as a Managed IT Service provider, utilising their IT support service across our business.
Additionally, we have engaged with Powernet’s vCIO service which helps us to understand what we need to do strategically, build a strong foundation, implement best practice processes and creating IT policies. Our vCIO helps us keep focus and steer things when we get caught up in the day to day.” Says Hamilton.
