Information is vital to any business today, dictating our responsiveness and accuracy in operations and planning. It's no surprise that large corporations sink hundreds of thousands into their IT budgets, maintaining an internal staff to strategise, implement and support their IT not just for today, but also planning for tomorrow.

Most Small and Medium sized partnerships ad enterprises simply cannot justify the expense of the staff to give themselves that level of strategy or support, leaving them adrift without desktop support or a long term strategy - a failing that can leave you unable to take full advantage of the facilities you have (or could have), and can cost you money should it become apparent that your technology cannot meet growth requirements.

Strategy

When we contract to provide IT services, we slot in as your IT manager. We'll answer and deal with the day to day questions and support issues, and in addition we will catalogue and review your current technology and facilities to work with you to put together a plan that will meet your needs now, and plan for your growth. Key areas of any such plan are...
Network infrastructure - cabled & wireless. We can help you plan a network from the ground up, taking advantage of any existing cabling, and combining it the latest wireless technology.
Desktop Operating system, facilities and applications. We can help you formulate a standard desktop, and standardise applications.
Web presence, email communications. From web site design, to setting up your email - even designing your first intranet, we can work with you to share information where it needs to be shared.
File & Print Servers, Data backup facilities.
Databases and data access. It could be that we design your business databases for you - or maybe you already have a business system you want us to get to grips with
Expansion and future-proofing.

One of the big advantages in working with us in this capacity is our independance. We have the luxury of recommending the right machines, software and operating systems for the job whatever their brand - Microsoft, Apple, Linux - all have their strengths and weaknesses, we can explore them all and if required combine them all.

Once our plan is set, we can then work with you to implement it over an agreed period of time.

Of course, no strategy can succeed without the correct support, which brings us to our second technology service.
