What is the purpose of this site?

This site is designed to share insights, tools, and stories that reflect the realities of IT professionals working in lean environments. The goal is to provide practical knowledge that can help others facing similar challenges.

Who is this site for?

Our content is aimed at network engineers, IT managers, system administrators, and anyone tasked with keeping technology running smoothly, especially in organizations where resources are tight.

Do you feature specific tools or solutions?

Yes. Articles occasionally highlight tools, software, and hardware that are commonly used across the IT landscape. These references are included to provide context and help readers make informed decisions, not as endorsements.

Why focus on “scrappy” IT?

Many IT teams, particularly in smaller organizations, nonprofits, municipalities, and schools, operate without the budgets of large enterprises. Yet the need for reliable networks and secure systems is just as great. “Scrappy IT” celebrates creativity, adaptability, and the ability to solve problems with limited resources.

Will content be updated regularly?

The site publishes in batches of articles with the aim of maintaining a useful reference library rather than a daily news cycle. Future updates may expand the range of topics based on reader interest.
