You and your fellow employees must be well-versed and well-trained on pertinent hardware and software to be efficient, solve problems and generate ROI.

Overall, investments in technology produce greater gains than other investments, but the technology is only as good as the person using it. Employees are an expensive and worthwhile investment.
