Proactive vs. Reactive IT Management

With the business of IT management there are two types of methodologies.

1)      Reactive – based on a break/fix model, the IT professional responds to service calls to fix issues.

 2)      Proactive – with proactive IT management, the IT provider anticipates events and makes sure to have a plan in place. Through continual monitoring, the technicians can be notified of potential problems before they arise.
