To Cloud, or not to Cloud: ...that is the question. Cloud solutions can be expensive, but sometimes they are the right choice. Whether they are the right choice for your business depends on a lot of factors. In one example, I saved the client $10k per month in cloud storage costs by moving the solution in-house. This client was able to move their medical records storage software to an in-house server for a one-time cost of approximately what it was costing them for two months of cloud storage fees.
Robust and secure network infrastructure: As your business grows, it's common for your network and/or servers to no longer be able to keep pace. Sometimes that means moving from a peer-to-peer network to a domain; sometimes it means faster switches, cabling, or wifi; maybe it's time for an enterprise class firewall or intrusion detection system; possibly time to move from physical servers to a rack full of virtual servers.
Custom software development: Quite often you have a business process that is time-consuming or labor intensive because there just isn't an off the shelf solution that does what you need. Wouldn't it be nice if you could reduce that task to just a few clicks of the mouse? That's where a small custom piece of software could not only save you time and money over the long term, it could also reduce the probability of errors.
Implementing a "security awareness" program: Regardless of the size of your workforce, you have to be concerned about things like ransomware and email fraud. Having good cybersecurity hygiene and culture is a must in today's threat landscape. I've helped several clients develop an ongoing program that not only works, but they can prove it works based on staff buy-in and culture shift. I can help you assess where you are now, where you want to be, and how best to get there.
Backups: Every business should have a solid backup and recovery process, but I can't tell you how many times I've seen small businesses that had no (or insufficient) backups for their business-critical data. There is no "one size fits all" solution, so I can help you choose the right one for you.
Hopefully these examples give you an idea of what kind of services I provide to my clients. For any of your IT needs, contact me and let's schedule a time to talk.
