An IT person usually stay in one job for less than 3 years. Accept this. And be prepared.. I realized this the hard way.
If you can afford it, have 2 per team - the rationale is that if one person leaves, you will have someone who will know your net work. Most of us do not have this "luxury"
As a small business owner, there are things you HAVE to know.
a. Insist on getting a detailed diagram of your net work.
b. Make sure that you have a list of all the important passwords. All individual computers have an administrator password. Make sure you know this password.
c. If your business owns a web site, it is important to know the company this is registered with. And make sure that you have access to the email address that you use for these functions
d. All software has licenses. Make sure that you know where these are kept.
e. Every 3 months, go through this check list with your IT person.
f. If you purchase software, have a designated place to store these.
g. Have a place to store all kinds of cables and power cords too.
If you fail to do these things it can cost you very large amounts of money.
