Hi everyone,
I have a computer repair business supporting domestic and small businesses (been in the industry 15 years now).
A question for those in the IT industry, do you try to learn/expand your knowledge across as many areas as possible or stick to a specific sector?
Recently i'm getting a few businesses who are running ADDS (Active Directory Domain Services/Server2019). Quite bluntly i've done nothing to do with ADDS or Server software over 15 years (Not sure how long or hard it is too learn?). I only support offices/clients with upto 10 desktop computers. Most small businesses I deal with are using NAS drives or cloud file storage.
With it being my business i'm not to sure if I should expand into those areas (to diversify) or leave it for maybe a larger IT support company. I'm aware some larger companies have staff specifically for Servers, a few who do CCTV etc. With IT there are so many areas and you can't possibly cover it all.
