I can hear it already: "Why would an IT Service Provider discuss the pitfalls of switching?" Well, at Logicle IT, we prioritise transparency and making transitions as seamless as possible. So, the real question isn't "Why share this information," but rather, "Why wouldn't we, and why don't other IT service providers?"
