Is your I.T. adding real value to your operations – or holding you back?

“Traditional” I.T. providers are detracting from their clients’ business goals by narrowly focusing on their client’s tech infrastructure. Without a business-first I.T. strategy developed by a Virtual CIO (VCIO), many companies are missing out on the opportunity to leverage technology in the pursuit of streamlined workflows, successful projects, improved marketing & sales, and much more.

IT Hurting

Here are 10 ways your traditional I.T. provider is holding you back:

  • Infrastructure-Only Focus: An infrastructure-only focus excludes the ability to focus on your business strategy, your employees, and your clients.
  • Hindering Collaboration: Modern I.T. puts a strong focus on enhancing secure and simple collaboration between everyone in your workforce.
  • Administrative Burden: Outdated I.T. techniques result in time wasting, and avoidable, administrative burdens. Modern I.T. strategies are devices to minimize that burden on your end.
  • Poor Integration of New Technology: This often results in increased vulnerabilities and diminished productivity.
  • Unreliable Security: In the increasingly dangerous landscape of online threats, you need more comprehensive and customizable security solutions than ever.
  • Paralyzing Your Online Marketing: Email campaigns, landing pages, and analytics are always their very last priority.
  • More Reactive than Proactive: A proactive approach to I.T. ensures issues are addressed and dealt with before they cause major problems.
  • No CEO Control: Responsibility, accountability, budget, and execution are not in their dictionary.
  • Missing the Point: Too many old-school tech guys speak in technical jargon that goes over your head and leaves you confused. You need a team who explains your I.T. in a way that you can understand.
  • Eating Up Your Budget: Big investments are often followed by hidden ongoing costs such as licenses, maintenance, updates, and so on.
