IT Infrastructure Assessment & (re)Design:
An ITIL-certified consultant will review your current IT infrastructure, including hardware, software, network structure (including wiring), security, and Internet Service Provider (ISP). We will also work with you to assess your maintenance contracts, hardware lifecycle, and software licensing.
Clients will receive a detailed explanation of our findings and suggestions for improvement.
Our method of consulting is designed to not only improve your IT infrastructure, but also to lessen your reliance on 3rd party providers. All details on reducing this reliance are included in the report, along with a financial breakdown and estimated savings based upon your company’s current service contract or local service provider costs.
Services:
Wiring:
Whether you’re opening a new building or just require additional outlets, we can provide you with professional wiring services. There are two levels of wiring available, and pricing for each is at a “by the foot” rate. There may be additional cost involved depending on the construction of the target building—our design engineers are happy to explain any and all variances that may affect the overall cost.
Hardware Purchases:
As part of your IT Infrastructure Assessment, Client 1st Technology Solutions will provide detailed guidance on hardware to meet your company’s needs. As a Dell Small Business Partner we provide quotes based on the availability of Dell hardware. However, if you prefer to use another vendor, we are happy to assist any hardware purchase.
Hardware Installations:
Our team can install any computer/server/peripheral hardware for you. For hardware not purchased through Client 1st Technology Solutions, we ensure our team is familiar with the product well ahead of the installation date.
Any PC or server hardware purchased from Client 1st Technology Solutions includes software and hardware installation— there is no additional installation cost after the initial purchase.
Software:
Each company has its own needs and wants. Client 1st Technology Solutions is there to assist from the ground up. Software is an integral part of your infrastructure —and also one of the most expensive. Client 1st Technology Solutions will ensure that you purchase the best software for your needs and don’t spend more than is necessary on licensing, while retaining a legal status. Although not certified trainers, our staff can provide basic training on Microsoft Office products, web page design, and hosting solutions.
Web Page Design:
With the Internet now a part of most homes, and increasingly available outside the home on portable devices, your Web site is now a vital gateway to customers. Our skilled staff can create a highly-effective marketing & research tool for you and an easy-to-use, accessible site for your customers. We’ll make sure your site is compatible with mobile devices such as smart phones and Blackberries, and that customers have easy access to new and updated information via RSS feeds - helping show your business in the best possible light.
Graphics Design:
Integral to web pages, publications, and advertising, graphics design is an important factor when marketing your company. A well-designed logo or banner improves business cards, letterhead, and Web pages, and helps your business stand out from the crowd. Let one of our experienced staff work with you to design a piece of art that will highlight your company.
Hardware Lifecycle Plans:
A hardware lifecycle plan is a key factor in ensuring your business doesn’t waste money on IT. Planning and preparation ensures your hardware works for you - getting you your money’s worth, and maintaining stability by staying under warranty. A good lifecycle plan also ensures that you are replacing hardware when necessary and maps out a purchase plan staggered to ensure you don’t get stuck with a large IT hardware purchase every 4 years. This will help you maintain stable profit margins, by minimizing annual costs for IT purchases.
Training:
Attempting to lessen your reliance on 3rd Part Vendors is a task in of itself. One step towards this is ensuring you use all your resources to their fullest potential—especially your staff! Let us design and present in-house training sessions for minor hardware repair, pc maintenance or web design to help your biggest asset fulfill their potential.
