In this week's episode of the Emajin Podcast, Beyond the 19th, we caught up with George Hanna, the Managing Director of HDIT. In our discussion, we gained great insights on using AI to drive business efficiencies and the productivity benefits of Managed IT systems.

Since graduating with an Information Systems degree, George has become "the tech guy," working in IT teams across various sectors, including hospitals and finance. While managing an intense corporate career, George was always on hand to help family and friends with their IT needs, which was never a hassle; it provided the confidence to venture out into his own business, HDIT.

HDIT is an IT Managed service provider, executing end-to-end daily IT needs for clients and extending to the development of a longer-term IT strategy that provides the roadmap for cost-effective IT transformation. The journey starts with an audit and the HDIT team has learned to improve efficiency for most businesses, you need to:

1. Make sure the solutions you have implemented, IT software and IT products, are the right ones for your business
2. Utilise the functions and features in your software to get a return on investment - we often invest and only use a small fraction of what the tools are capable of and offer
3. Implement AI which can provide at least 10 hours of efficiencies back into your business a week 

Listen as George describes the ways to approach and form habits around AI as you get started, the power of IT partnership and the passion George has for enabling technology to improve the way we work.
