Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory

This is the question I sent to igxglobal…

“I have a quick question and I hope you can get back to me, my mom works for your company by the way! I always wondered, because your an office manager, how does your job relate to making firewalls? Thank you. Willy Wonka”

When he responded he wrote,

“As office managerI basically run the office.  I am responsible to pay all the bills.  I collect the money from our clients.  I oversee the process of receiving purchase orders and statements of work from clients, making sure our technical services division provides the services listed on the statements of work, making sure all products are ordered from our vendors and then making sure clients are invoiced.  There are also many internal processes I oversee to make sure our clients are satisfied, we represent our vendor partners properly and our employees are happy.  As office manager, you wear many hats.

Let me explain a little about our company.  We are integrators of technology.  This means we can go into a company, assess its computer network and determine if it is secure.  We are familiar with various types of security products so we can build your network to prevent anyone from hacking in and stealing data.  We are also one of about 55 companies in the US that is authorized by Visa and Mastercard to perform a PCI audit.  This audit will tell a company that accepts Visa or Mastercard if their network is safe.  I’m sure you have heard stories about peoples identity being stolen!!  The products we sell and the services we provide can prevent someone from stealing data even if they lose their laptop!!!”

The reason I picked this company was because I was always interested i computers and I wanted to learn more, and maybe because my mom works there. I chose the question to relate to this man’s job. His response was not what I expected. I expected my job is only for the checks for the other emplyees or I only control the money. His job includes so much more andI am happy that I did this post. It made me realize that some jobs can’t be what they seem. You can be called a business leader and you do so much more than run your own business. I hope to do more research on both the business leaders and mom’s company.
