We aim to help our clients thrive by applying enterprise technologies that power business growth and success. This all starts with a thorough IT assessment, which allows us to:
Get a clear picture of the status quo of each client’s technology infrastructure
Show how technology can be harnessed to grow your business’ revenue, save costs, ensure compliance, streamline operations or reduce risk.
Our approach to IT assessments is broad, detailed, and designed to uncover the full potential of your technology infrastructure.
Let's dive into how we use IT assessments to set up a partnership for success:
Holistic evaluation: Beyond just technology
When we begin an IT assessment, our perspective is broad and all-encompassing. We understand that technology does not operate in a vacuum. Our assessment process scrutinizes not only the technology itself but also how it serves your operations and your users.
Our method combines questionnaires, one-on-one sessions, department meetings, site visits, and documentation reviews. By exploring all avenues, we gather comprehensive data. We share our draft findings for review, allowing for a collaborative process that welcomes our client’s input at every stage.
Throughout our discovery phase, we focus on several crucial areas to ensure a thorough understanding of your technology environment:
IT solutions, architectures and infrastructure currently deployed
Integrations between various systems
IT standards and policies
End-users - their needs and challenges
Security - understanding your current security posture
