Break-Fix IT vs. Managed IT: The Doctor Analogy 

Break-Fix approach to business IT is like going to the emergency room every time something goes wrong with your health. You wait until there's a problem, then you seek treatment. Sure, you get the help you need, but it's reactive and can be disruptive and time-consuming. Plus, there's no continuity of care—each visit is a one-off, and the doctors don't have your full medical history at their fingertips. Similarly, Walk-in Clinics offer temporary fixes for minor issues, but they lack the continuity and comprehensive care that a family doctor provides. Emergency rooms and walk-in clinics are great for immediate issues, but they are not substitutes for the ongoing, personalized care of a family doctor. Plus, they don't offer pre-scheduled appointments, leading to unpredictable waiting times—just like in a Break-Fix IT setting.

On the other hand, WEDOIT Services are like having your own family doctor.

On the other hand, WEDOIT Services are like having your own family doctor. Your family doctor knows your medical history, provides regular check-ups, and offers ongoing guidance to keep you healthy. It's proactive and preventive, aiming to catch issues before they become serious problems. Plus, there's continuity of care and centralized medical records, so your doctor has a complete picture of your health. Using standard medical guidelines and principles, a family doctor provides preventive, corrective, remedial, and advisory services. Similarly, WE DO IT services provide preventive, corrective, deterrent, and detective IT/cybersecurity services, referencing industry best practices and guidelines, as well as security frameworks like the Government of Canada's Cyber Security Framework and the NIST Framework for small business.
