How the process works
Review
The first step is for us to assess your current situation and future needs. This involves a detailed technical and business assessment that allows us to map your existing applications, services, contracts, providers, teams and related infrastructure to your primary business goals and drivers.
Through our partnership with CxO NExUS, we’re able to bring visibility into your entire IT vendor spend utilizing real-time data. By pulling vendor activities from your accounts payable system in real-time, you can easily assess which are performing well and which need to be addressed. Through the sophisticated peer comparison platform that leverages data across your industry, you’re able to benchmark against peer IT spend activities and instantly assess your company’s category and vendor expenditures.
This assessment will also cover details of all mission critical IT and facilities. Services could include the following:
Transit/Transport
Security
SDWAN and Network Optimization
Disaster Recovery
Managed Hosting
Data Center and Colocation
Cloud
Physical Hardware Assets
Optimize
Once the assessment is completed and we have developed a total cost of ownership model, we can provide detailed data based recommendations that outline how to best optimize the environment and/or modernize it while supporting both the strategic business goals and operational initiatives. Depending on what is uncovered during the first stage, these recommendations may include:
Physical Migration
RFP Management
Location Migration
Virtual Migration
Equipment Financing
Contract Negotiations
Vendor Selection
Implement
The final phase of our process comes only after we have reviewed our recommendations with you and we come to a clear understanding around how you would best like to proceed, given the data presented. This phase will include:
Tactical Assignments and Responsibilities
Written Statement of Work
Outline for Ongoing Project Management
