If you are spending time, money, and extra resources on IT efforts for your business you must recognize that technology is always changing, and the job is never truly done. It's a lifestyle, it's a consistent aspect of your business, which is why regular analysis of your IT progress is important.
Are your specific IT needs justified? Are you utilizing the right resources for your business? Is your IT staff doing what they promised? Asking yourself these questions will continue to improve your IT bottom line, and give your efforts consistent forward movement.
JUSTIFICATION
With new ticketing software and clear procedures, you can develop a clear picture of your company's IT needs to pass along to your Managed IT Provider. You can spend time going over your consistent tickets with your IT team to determine ways to relieve those issues and make processes more efficient for your business. From there, your team can develop necessary projects that best align with your goals.
RESOURCES
The resources your business utilizes may cost you money on a monthly or annual basis. You must work with your IT team to track the success of these resources, to make sure you're getting the most out of your technology budget. If you have implemented new office technologies, it's necessary to make sure your new technology and current resources will work efficiently together.
IT PROMISES
It is important to hold your IT team accountable. Your engineers should take meeting notes, and track what projects are on track and off track. Don't allow tech progress to get lost in the shuffle of day-to-day tasks. A successful IT team will time each month to analyze the success of your environment to continue forward movement.
Without analysis of your IT environment on a consistent basis, you may not catch unchanging issues, or continue a steady increase in terms of your technology. Don’t waste time and money on such an important business tool, analyze your progress and keep your technology goals focused.
IT Analysis can push your efforts forward, and Managed IT Services can do that for you.
