The Business Rationale
Small to medium sized companies in the main tend to use current
staff to help with the delivery of their I.T. and supplement their
needs with costly external consultancy. These members of staff are
normally employed to perform tasks related to the core competency
of the business and often hold a post of responsibility, i.e. finance
director, senior buyer or fee-earner.
If a member of staff has a problem they use the "I.T. person"
as a "help desk or support" function thus preventing that
person from delivering their specialised task. Therefore two people
are now not focusing on the company's core activity. Downtime can
run into thousands of pounds a year and yet is caused by only minor
irritations.
What CIM provide is a complete I.T. solution with desktop and network
support plus all the other facets that a thriving company requires
to maintain a competitive advantage through it's use of technology.
Costs Benefits
The cost of investing in I.T. can be offset against tax and should
not impinge or erode your net profit.
For an agreed timescale your I.T. costs will remain constant and
your business will have trading continuity through effective I.T.
delivery. Future I.T. developments can be incorporated into the
current system seamlessly, costly downtime reduced to a minimum
and all employees focused on core activities.
Should a member of staff leave or fall ill all your I.T. systems
will continue to run smoothly and effectively thus preventing a
'power base or vacuum' from forming within your organisation.
In addition you will benefit from IT experts who will take a 'fresh'
look at your I.T. requirements.
CIM would welcome the opportunity to take a ‘fresh’
look at you I.T. requirements.
