IT Strategy and Advising
Experienced CIOs and CTOs with years of experience are available to engage managers and owners in high level discussions about their network and IT infrastructure. Aligning your business goals with your IT investments is a critical component of your organization's success, whether you are looking at implementing new accounting software or facing down a wholesale realignment of your business. Developing a plan and obtaining actionable steps to implementation can take the mystery out of technology budgeting and strategy.
Network Audits and Evaluation
Whether you need to make sure that your network is performing at its best, is ready for a migration to Voice over IP, or that your spending matches your needs, our wide-ranging network audits are designed to help you establish the health of your computer network and whether your budget is being allocated wisely. Many technology implementations fail because problems are only uncovered after an upgrade or significant investment in newer technology, blowing budgets out of the water, delaying implementation and making your IT department or vendors look bad. Our comprehensive network evaluation services provide you with the information you need before you make changes to your IT infrastructure.
Budget audits can help you evaluate whether you are getting the best return on investment (ROI) for your IT spending. We take a holistic look at your IT, Telecom and mobility budgets to find savings, identify waste, identify successes and find ways to efficiently allocate your technology spending. Whether you just want someone to take a look at your telephone or cell phone bills, or want to realign your department-wide spending, our budget audit services can help you optimize your resource allocation.
