Just like a medical check-up, a health check of your technology platform gives you a comprehensive assessment of your IT platform and solutions. This is tailored to your specific requirements and will cover all aspects of your technology platform, such as:
-
IT equipment (servers, desktops, laptops, network equipment, printers, other peripherals, telephones etc)
-
Hosting /cloud environment
-
Networking provision (internal fixed & wi-fi, internet)
-
Security & assurance (network, email, data, backup & disaster recovery)
-
Software (email, file sharing, business applications, website, licensing)
-
Policy & procedure (security & acceptable use, staff changes (starters/leavers/movers), change & business continuity)
-
Supplier management (IT support, telephony, mobile telephony, printing)
Findings are presented in the form of a comprehensive written report and cover an overview of each element in scope. For each element, the following points are covered:
-
Identified issues are discussed
-
Perceived risks are outlined and scored within a risk matrix
-
Recommended actions to mitigate risks & issues identified
-
Where cost savings might be achieved
A health check may be carried out as a distinct piece of work, or may be undertaken prior to an IT leadership or strategic advisory engagement.
If you are experiencing problems or frustrations with your IT platform, a health check is an excellent way to identify and address the issues to get you back on track. Contact us for a no-obligation discussion about how we could help you.
