Your Virtual CIO - IT Consultant
Our virtual CIO service gives you the
benefit of a knowledgeable, trustworthy Chief Information Officer on your
virtual staff at a fraction of the cost.
We custom tailor our services package to the needs of your business.
Most importantly, we provide you with a single point of contact. The buck
stops here. No more run around and finger pointing.
The following services are available to
enable your business to acquire, maintain and leverage IT (information technology) to
drive your operations.
Problem Resolution
Sometimes you just need to fix the here and now. We will analyze
your immediate problem, quickly develop the solution and deploy the appropriate
skill set to solve your problem. Then we will determine the root cause
and help you put the proper measures in place to prevent it from
reoccurring.
IT Audit and Assessment
Our audit service is designed to provide you with a complete assessment of your
IT capability. We will identify problem areas, risks, vulnerabilities and
opportunities within your environment. Our value add is the business
assessment of your current use of technology. Most computer consulting
firms stop short with the technical assessment alone. We answer the
business question as to "How can I use technology effectively to increase my
revenue, decrease my costs and improve the satisfaction level for my customers,
employees and shareholders?".
Develop your strategic IT plan
For most businesses, IT is an afterthought. A properly formulated
strategic IT plan, aligned with your business strategy, is the vehicle needed to
deliver technology in a cost effective manner. We will develop your plan based on an analysis of your existing business, your
strategic direction, your
industry, your competition, the abilities of your staff and any other resources and challenges.
We will help determine how to streamline, enhance and improve your IT function.
Develop the proper IT standards,
policies and processes
Most organizations need some sort of information technology standardization and
process documentation. We will help you identify your organization's
requirements, the flexibility required by your users, any other limitations to
effective standardization. We will help determine and document the appropriate
standards, policies and
procedures for your organization.
Provide training and knowledge
transfer
Our goal is to enable your resources with the knowledge and ability to use the
technology. We will develop the appropriate training materials and
sessions for you. We subscribe to the principle..."Give a man a fish,
feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime".
Assessment, planning, design and
management
We will analyze your business model and processes and determine how (and if)
information technology can effectively increase your profitability. We will design the system and manage the specification and
implementation. Typical projects include:
- Business systems
- Web presence
- Office Automation
- Email
- Intranets / Internet / Extranets
- Disaster Recovery
- Networking
- Security
- Customer Relationship Management
