Make Your Technology Work for You

b2ap3_thumbnail_Work4U400.jpgHaving an IT infrastructure that works properly is the goal for every IT department. While it’s nice to have all of your technology in working order, this is just one part of the successful business/technology equation. Having your IT network properly designed to meet the needs of your business will maximize your productivity and make your technology work for you!

A properly functioning IT infrastructure that fits your organization’s needs is like using the right tool for the job, it just makes everything easier. One business tool that we can use as an example of this principle is a delivery truck. If your company’s delivery truck works perfectly, yet it’s used only for your long commute, then you will run up a big and unnecessary fuel bill. Meanwhile, if a small fuel efficient car that works perfectly is used to transport truckloads of goods, then this will take more trips than you need and delivery would turn into a highly inefficient operation.

You may see a similarity with how your own IT infrastructure handles the operations of your business. If you throw together random computer components to quickly get your network off the ground without taking into consideration your current and future business needs, then you may be trying to handle the traffic of a demanding network with a computer system that equates to a golf cart towing a trailer that’s designed to be towed by a rig.

Directive specializes in designing technology systems that work for business. If you are feeling like your network is dragging down your company’s productivity, and you’re not sure where the weakest network link is (because everything seems to be working properly), then call us at (607) 433-2200 for a free network evaluation. Our expert technicians will be able to analyze the traffic of your network, identify bottlenecks, and find you cost-effective solutions that are the right tools for the job.

Directive also has an IT consulting service that can be utilized to design for your company a computer network to fit your future technology needs. Our IT consulting service is able to design an efficient network because we take the time to learn everything we can about your company--relevant to your technology needs. We will take the time to understand your company’s growth projections, budget, and business model so that you will have a perfect technology solution that will work best for where your company is going!

Using the right technology for the job is a key component to having technology improve every aspect of your business. To schedule a technology consultation appointment and increase the efficiency of your company, call Directive at (607) 433-2200.
