# What is an IT Manager?

Define an IT manager

IT Managers at dealerships used to be filled positions at dealerships. Maintaining the Windows operating system, fixing printer queues, resetting passwords, and turnover IAM was a full-time job. The industry has pivoted to outsourcing many of these functions since they are set-and-forget and need very little maintenance. The typical break-fix day hardly justifies the monthly cost. Topology Builder establishes your baseline and suggests improvements.
