Understanding Technical Details in IT Replies

    At times, you might notice our responses include technical information that may seem a bit overwhelming. We want to assure you that you're not expected to fully grasp these details. Instead, they're there to serve a specific purpose that benefits future interactions, and between you and the interactions of future technicians, service providers, vendors, etc.

    The only exception would be technology for which you serve as a front-line of support. For example: A Building Manager knowing basic operations and simple troubleshooting techniques for their building's conference rooms or auditoriums. It's critical to have a deep curiosity of how to use basic features of that equipment by using a manufacture's website, YouTube, and other means of self-resourceful education.

    Another example would be a building engineer's basic technical understanding of the HVAC systems of which they maintain. While a lot of that equipment today might use networks, an Engineer's basic understanding of how those networks tie into the systems they maintain would be fruitful knowledge which can only lead toward successes. This doesn't mean an Engineer should be making technical changes to the network environment, but understanding how the systems they maintain operate on a network.

Why We Include Technical Details

    Imagine these technical details as a safety net for your requests. While they might look like a bunch of numbers, codes, and jargon, they serve a critical function. They're here to ensure that if you ever need assistance in the future, whether from a new technician or for a similar issue, we've got all the information we need to help you efficiently. Additionally, so do you! Consider archiving, saving, or filing those responses so you can easily reference them in the future. So, while it's okay to say, "I don't know," it's amazing to follow it up with, "but I remember getting an email that might have some details within that can help!"

Keeping It Simple for You

    We understand that not everyone speaks the language of tech fluently. That's absolutely fine! You don't need to spend hours deciphering what it all means.
