Methodology
NetSmith can help you take control of your information systems through our proven methodology:
- Systems Review. We help review the systems you use and the jobs you want done. Without this vision of both variables you cannot determine if you are using the proper tools for the job.
- Recommendation. NetSmith will take the information gathered during our System Review and recommend changes, modifications, or even the elimination of information tools. Sometimes a re-tooling is needed, sometimes a new tool is needed, and sometimes a tool may cause more problems than it may fix.
- Implementation. Not only can NetSmith help identify the changes needed in your information environment, we have the expertise to implement these changes.
You'll enjoy the peace of mind of knowing the job will be done right and the benefit of concentrating on what you do best, managing your business or organizational mission.
Case Study: Out-Tasking
Networks are growing rapidly in size, complexity, and cost; technical experts are expensive, hard to find, and hard to keep; new technologies and new vendors appear at an accelerating rate; and users clamor for more and better service while their management demand lower cost and increased performance. Consequently, the question may not be whether to outsource but what to outsource. Any aspect of systems and network operations can be outsourced in almost any combination. Look for functions that are not critical to the company's core business, especially those the Telecom or IS department find difficult to perform at existing staff levels. A rule of thumb is to keep in-house any highly critical activity that is being performed by experienced staff but outsource, or out-task, non-critical activities that are not being performed cost-effectively. A company can let go of the commodity-like operational functions, sometimes called tactical functions. It is possible to save both money and headaches by letting someone else pull cable, set up systems, perform moves, adds, and changes (MACs), and perform broad system upgrades.
