Our Knowledge Cluster reimagines swarming in IT support to enhance collaborative problem-solving and professional growth. This innovative approach aims to increase efficiency, improve customer satisfaction, and enhance employee experience. It turns out the key to our success in this journey was not primarily the tools, processes, or even the knowledge we had. Rather, it was the physical and virtual proximity, our culture, and most importantly our associates that made all the difference.
