Pyjama project office breakfasts?

As winter sets in, a warm pair of pyjamas makes all the difference in getting a good sleep during cold nights. As part of Datacom’s ongoing partnership with the Kindness Collective, our teams across our Aotearoa New Zealand offices donated over 200 pairs of pyjamas to their Pyjama Project which helps keep Kiwi kids warm during winter. As part of this effort, our Auckland and Wellington offices held breakfast donation drives, where team members donned their best pyjamas, donated children's pairs to the cause, and enjoyed a range of pastries, fruits, and cereals – setting a wonderful tone for the day. ?

Why the future of Service Desks should look very different?

Bill Clancy and Jai Moran think it's time to change the traditional IT service desk model. Instead, they say IT service desks should be run with the same 'experience first' approach that underpins great contact centres. Their proactive approach to becoming technology enablers rather than following the break and fix model is future focussed. ?

Learn about the possibilities Bill and Jai see for service desks, and how to embrace them.?

Impactful partnerships?
