IT Problems

[beanhubbleday]

Hey all,

 

I'm intrigued to know; would you rather find a quick and easy way to get around a problem within IT or would you rather fix it outright even if it takes ages to find and implement a solution?

 

Usually I'd find a quick way that I can implement multiple times but other times I do have to actually think 

 

I'm interested to hear everyone's opinions

depends on the issue, if it needs to last or if it's needed back up and running asap and can be worked on later after it isn't need so badly

simple, first I would take the quick work around to make it seem solved to public/users and then in the meantime look for a way to solve it definitely.

Depends on the situation 

 

if the issue  is customer /  user facing, and people are going to be affected, a quick fix is required, followed by a in depth look to stop it happening again

if the issue is not customer / user facing then there is more time to go into detail for the long term fix 

 

If its a personal machine i take the time to fix it fully to ensure it wont happen again
