While the cost consciousness is here to stay, most small- and medium-sized business owners need outside expert assistance to help them define and meet I.T. cost-savings objectives.

Businesses with less than 50 employees generally don’t have CTO’s or formalized I.T. budgets. They approach their information technology on an as-needed basis even as they become increasingly dependant upon 24x7 uptime, secure global access to critical business data, and zero point-in-time recovery should any data be damaged or lost. This is very common. Most small businesses have one or two semiskilled staff members—often the owners themselves—who provide the lion share of I.T. planning and support. While often born of necessity, this approach to I.T. management does not avoid the common pitfalls associated with owner-managed I.T.—decreased reliability of I.T. services and components, increased direct and indirect support costs, and the attendant loss of efficiency and profitability.

Gamma Systems provides outsourced CTO and CIO services to help you identify:

• How to demonstrate and deliver maximum return and value for your I.T. investment.

• How much of your I.T. budget is discretionary vs. nondiscretionary.

• How much it costs per employee to deliver I.T. services.

• How will cost components within your I.T. budget change over time.

• How to evaluate peer spending trends within the context of your business objectives.

• How to safely leverage existing I.T. investments.

• How to create and test an effective Disaster Recovery Plan.

• Whether your existing security policy is adequate.

Let Gamma Systems and its experienced team consult you on all critical aspects of your office technology.
