You Shouldn’t Need an IT Degree to Understand Your IT Support

Have you ever walked away from a meeting with your IT provider more confused than when you started?

You’re not alone.

From acronyms like EDR, DNS, and MFA to vague promises about “cloud resilience” or “next-gen security,” it’s easy to feel left out of your own IT decisions.

At Johnson Technical Systems, we believe you deserve clear explanations — not confusion. Our goal is simple: make your tech understandable, not intimidating.

Because it’s your business, you’re paying for the service. And you deserve to know what’s going on.


🧠 Why Tech Jargon Creates Real Problems

Jargon doesn’t just make things sound complicated — it creates distance between you and the support you’re supposed to trust.

When IT providers use overly technical language:

  • You stop asking questions

  • You feel unsure about what you’re paying for

  • You delay action because you’re not confident in the advice

  • You lose control over key parts of your business

That’s the opposite of what IT support should do.

You shouldn’t feel like you need to Google half the conversation or guess what’s been implemented on your network. You deserve transparency and clear communication — every time.


💬 What Good Communication Looks Like

At Johnson Technical, we’ve built a culture around clear, respectful, two-way communication. That means:

✅ No acronyms without explanation

If we mention “EDR,” we’ll explain it stands for Endpoint Detection and Response, a system that helps monitor and respond to device-level cyber threats.

When discussing “backups,” we’ll ensure you understand where your data is stored, how frequently it’s saved, and how quickly we can recover it in the event of an issue.

✅ We explain the “why,” not just the “what”

For example:

“We’re installing this update to fix a known security vulnerability, which protects your team from malware.”
—not—
“It’s a critical patch for CVE-2024-11623 using agent v12.3.9.”

✅ We listen to your concerns

Whether it’s a slow laptop or a worry about phishing emails, we’re here to listen — not lecture. We know that your issues are valid and deserve time and care.


🙋‍♂️ No Question Is a Stupid Question

We’ve all had that moment where we didn’t ask a question because we didn’t want to look uninformed.

But here’s the thing: you shouldn’t have to feel like that with your IT team.

We actively encourage our clients to ask questions — whether it’s:

  • “Why does this keep happening?”

  • “What does that button do?”

  • “Can we do this a better way?”

  • “What’s the risk if we ignore this?”

When you ask, we explain — clearly, honestly, and without the tech snobbery.


🤝 Why This Approach Matters

When you understand your technology, you:

  • Feel more in control

  • Can make faster, more informed decisions

  • Get better value from your investment

  • Are more likely to take security seriously

  • Reduce the fear or anxiety around IT

Clear communication builds trust. And trust is what every great IT partnership is built on.


👨‍💼 IT Support That Communicates Like a Partner, Not a Helpdesk

You don’t need to know every technical detail. But you do need a provider that can bridge the gap between tech and business — and explain things in a way that works for you.

That’s our job.

If your current IT provider leaves you confused, out of the loop, or unsure of what you’re paying for, it might be time for a second opinion.
