After a long and unexpected two month hiatus, The Force Field podcast is back with Episode 62.<\/p>\n

Episode 62 – The National Contractor and Service Platform Report, provides an inside look at the IT service industry from the front line perspective of the IT service provider, service technicians who perform contract work for these companies onsite and online.\u00a0 The report takes the pulse of a field that has changed significantly in the last ten years, and not necessarily for the better.<\/p>\n

In this episode you will discover who these service technicians really are, how they operate their businesses, who they work for and who works for them. We also rate national contractors and service platforms in the industry and rank them from the best to the worst.<\/p>\n
