National IT Professionals Day
Modern society relies heavily on technology. Whether it’s for personal or professional use, computers are an integral part of our lives.
Therefore, it only seems fitting that we dedicate one day to praising the unsung heroes of our office, the IT professionals. Without them, the business world could not thrive.
National IT Professionals Day is observed every third Tuesday in September. On this important day, Altus Infusion commends all Information Technology professionals for their efforts in helping us stay connected, productive, and ready for what the future holds.
Like so many businesses today, Altus Infusion embraces technology as a means to expand and improve its services.
In honor of National IT Professionals Day, we wanted to shed light on some of the fantastic people in our IT department, so we sat down with them to ask a few questions. Without further ado, let us introduce some of our talented, tech heroes.
