Technology Assessment

May 13th, 2011

We begin every commercial client relationship with a “Technology Assessment.” A technology assessment is a vital tool in determining where improvements are necessary in current technologies.  It is also extremely useful in determining the best path towards future technological goals. We do not just look at the hardware and software alone but evaluate how well each system works together to meet the company’s needs. Often times our clients are unaware that certain technology could directly impact their operations. The impact can be either positive or negative. Our goal is to understand from staff and decision-makers, their specific organizational objectives as well as the current technology environment, in order to better identify solutions that meet the company’s business needs. We then provide a company with a well-written document that gives detail and summary information on its current technological environment as well as recommendations for improvement to help meet organizational goals and objectives.  The most important part of this service is that it is provided absolutely free!

Upon completion of the technology assessment the client receives the following:

  • A review of existing network infrastructure and issues
  • Analysis based on test results
  • Recommendations for correcting existing issues and/or implementation of new solutions
  • Network diagrams
  • Summarized action plan with budgetary estimates

A technology assessment is not only necessary for new clients, but a periodical technology assessment is crucial for our current customers. Organizational goals and objectives never stay constant, they change or evolve, and a company’s technological needs might also change over time.  For this reason, information technology should be evaluated to see if anything should be improved. The results and recommendations from the technology assessment enable the customer to develop a detailed understanding of their current technology capabilities and determine if the technology supports their company’s goals.
