By Muckson Sesay :

As we celebrate our 5th anniversary in April 20^th of 2013, many institutions across Sierra Leone have been privileged to incorporate computer technology into their classrooms; thanks to the Ishaak Muckson Innovative Technology Training (IMITT)?s initiatives.?Through a mutually beneficial engagement from?IMITT, the College of Management and Administration (COMA) in Makeni has developed a professional computer training program for its students and staff. One student, Fatmata Kamara of N?jala University, was noted saying ?through the intervention of IMITT, N?jala campus now has a computer training lab befitting a leading learning institution in Sierra Leone.??After two years of partnership with the Government Technical Institute in Magburaka, students are set to receive their computer training diplomas alongside their counterparts in our headquarters town of?Mile 91 in April this year.

As this writer often says, ?our institutional values dictate that denying technology to a child is the same as denying the right of a child to education. In either circumstance, they won?t be able to get the jobs of tomorrow.? That is why we have embarked on incorporating our programs into learning institutions to build stronger, flexible and skillful workforce in Sierra Leone.

IMIT Institute is a social business with a purpose-oriented rather than profit-oriented. We offer wide range of IT solutions for schools, colleges and businesses. We have a team of experienced network technicians, mainly from rural communities, that provides excellent support for design and implementation of networks for small and large scale businesses. Our institutional strategy is to utilize the power of market forces to accomplish our social goal. We truly believe that teachers and institutions need technological resources to help them overcome the challenges facing the 21st century, that is why we provide institutions with the hardware, maintenance and hardware replacement needed for sustainable computer training environment.

In just five years of its establishment, IMITT has transformed it headquarters town?of Mile 91 into a technological hub where students across Sierra Leone get certified on A+, Network+, MS office and hardware.? Women are being streamlined into top IT positions thereby creating a level playing field where women, especially from remote communities, can be visible and equally participate in the IT field thereby avoiding the precedent of making IT a male dominated industry in Sierra Leone.

Below are the services we provide:

Institutional Partnerships

College of Management and Administration (COMA) in Makeni

IMITT forms partnerships with local educational institutions to integrate computer literacy into classrooms and providing IT experience for their students. In supporting these institutions, IMITT ensures that world class training materials, hardware, and in some case, professional staffing is offered for our partners. We placed specialized emphasis on hardware maintenance, at the same time, providing training for local staff to keep our partners up-running. ?IMITT strongly believes that a computer is as good as the repair service it receives, that is why in some cases we often retain ownership of our systems to allow us continue providing the maintenance, training support of local staff and hardware upgrade needed for sustainability. Should our partners choose to own our systems, we are glad to provide them with excellent and competitive pricing to allow them [our partners] purchase our products at affordable prices.

Hardware for Sale

Hardware Sales

IMITT supplies hardware?to retail and /or wholesale businesses in Sierra Leone. We sell all types of brands of Laptops and Desktops computers; used and new. We procure products from proven manufacturers through proven distribution channels. This is important because it reduces the supply risks often associated with procurement.

Data Integrity

IMITT pride itself in providing ?best practice? backup solution for your PC and Network Systems. Because of our pro-data mind set, we place special emphasis on?Data/Corrupt file Recovery and Password Recovery for Microsoft Windows

On-site Technician?(Providing jobs for our rural technicians)

IMITT staff can be ready for your company on either a per call basis, or you can sign on to a service contract and retain an on-call technician. This means that you have a designated I.T. technician come down to your office once a month to make sure everything is running smoothly. If, during that month, you require any kind of service work to be done, a dedicated I.T. technician will be available to you. Also, should the network go down, you are assured that you have a technician who is familiar with your network ready to get you up and running with minimal downtime. Imagine you have the services of the same technician for all your network/technical needs, but you only need to pay them when there?s actual work to be done?
