As businesses grow in complexity, their investment in IT grows with them. This IT hierarchy could be summarized by the following progression: non-existent, light, dependent, and strategic.
What we see time and time again is that businesses become stuck in the dependent stage - that is, IT has become a "necessary evil". Organizations dependent on their IT view it as an unavoidable business expense and consequently identify IT as an area to cut costs whenever possible.
And we get it. When the extent of IT support revolves around reactive maintenance and dreading laying out even more money to replace your aging workstations or outdated software, IT can seem like a money pit. And there's a constant focus on the ROI of any IT asset, which is shifting as many technologies are being shifted from CapEx to OpEx.
But it doesn't have to be like this. Our professional IT Consulting can help!
Many organizations approach IT by starting with the hardware and working their way up - but that's often where they get stuck. After investing in infrastructure they need someone to support it - and this often falls to either in-house staff or an MSP who's happy to take money in exchange for bare-bones "break-fix" service.
And that's how many businesses become stuck in that dependent stage - they're bleeding time and money to maintain the status quo.
Our approach flips that model and starts with developing a strategy for our clients, and then equipping them with the tools and processes they need to be productive and efficient on the job.
For growth and success, businesses need to be empowered to overcome challenges and achieve their goals. And in today's world, technology is critical to making this happen.
We commit to providing our clients with Quarterly Business Reviews: a face-to-face meeting every three months provides our clients with a dedicated chance to discuss their IT deployment — and we get the opportunity to learn from them what’s working and where we might want to commit some more resources.
This process has proven so valuable that we now consider it a core part of our company culture. We break down the obfuscating wall between business and IT providers and endeavour to bring transparency and results to the table.
It means we’re able to align our goals with the client’s and share news on the gains we’ve made — not to mention, it keeps us on our toes to always be searching for improvements!
