Ever wondered why you provide your external consultants with their tools of the trade, laptop, software, etc, yet a plumber comes armed with their tools? There are opportunities to extract big costs from your business around the desktop. Ask us how.

One of the most frustrating and costly aspects of an organisation’s IT budget is the technological lifecycle management, compliance and support of all inter-related infrastructure, platforms, and end user devices (desktops and mobile devices) whilst keeping up with growing infrastructure demands (particularly information accessibility). Many organisations have both Windows and Linux environments and these must be managed efficiently.

The Desktop is the window that clearly represents an organisation’s success or failure in being able to deliver on the capability required by the business. Be it functionality, performance or supportability. Attempting to standardise desktop operating platform independent of simplifying the backend in a vain attempt to improve the user experience is impractical. In many cases, SOEs exist to support legacy systems and have very little to do with actually reducing costs. There are other ways.

We:

Have a vision on workgroup computing adaptable to your environment and requirements. A tip: Define where your desktop environment starts and finishes within your organisation before attempting to define a strategy around it.

Build workgroup strategies and roadmaps that enable organisations to embrace new business models by enhancing collaboration with staff, contractors, outsourcers and business partners.

Deliver platform independent software compliance and asset management services to ascertain the extent to which organisations are able to embrace new and innovative workgroup concepts whilst also reporting on installed asset base for compliance purposes (e.g. making sure you are adequately licensed for the software that is installed – particularly if staff install software on company PCs).

Develop asset management solutions and business process improvements around the desktop and associated infrastructure (e.g. file & print services , application delivery, support etc).

Have expertise in mobile devices and building strategies and solutions around mobility platforms depending on business requirements.
