Creating an IT Management Plan

1. Set Up

- Strategic Planning
- IT Diagnose & Investment Report
- Installation & Configuration

Do you want a network of systems consistently performing at their peak, saving you money and ready to grow and change when the time comes?

Then the first thing to do is to develop some IT Strategic Planning. Simultaneously, we'll make a diagnosis of your current IT infrastructure. Once we have a solid and clear idea of what you currently own and which is the best possible IT approach for the future of your business AND your budget, We will suggest the most relevant hardware and software updates and upgrades that will fit your business. This will be your IT Architectural blueprint. This new IT Management process will fix those "money leaks" by transforming the IT problems your employees, clients and providers face every day, into the most relevant technical and operational upgrades. This new process is a map that you can use, among other things, to best manage your staffing and training endeavors.

By integrating the success factors, risks, opportunities, time frames, budgets and conforming to the very latest in industry practices, implementing software licenses, checking physical inventory, validating data integrity, installing custom security solutions and setting up remote managing we'll get the whole thing working just the way we planned it on our IT Strategic Planning.

Creating an IT Management Plan is what unifies Business goals and IT infrastructure. Its purpose is to streamline your business' workflow by optimizing IT processes, saving you money in operational costs.

Some examples of benefits, including time, money and resources gained and/or saved, are:

 

Optimized day to day communications such as: e-mail, SMS, instant messaging, tele-conferencing and web conferencing

 

Integration of "group ware" (software that enables sharing of documents) making information accessible to multiple people, eliminating work duplication and a considerable reduction of paperwork and waste

 

Maximizing mobile workforces performance and enabling remote office process management by having wireless device networks properly integrated.

 

Improved collaboration among employees = less time wasted = operational cost savings

 

Better software integration = more productivity = better sales results

2. Management

- System Administration
- System Backup, Updates & Upgrades
- Help Desk Support

Now that the IT management plan is set in place, it's time to use it as our guide for your system administration. This will also allow your business to improve the user end productivity and measure the IT return on investment (ROI).

 

 

Yep, this is what it really feels like to be the boss. The IT management plan (nested in your business plan with its specific growth projections) has already foreseen your future IT requirements for updates & upgrades. Having this information beforehand helps save big money by providing you with a better IT acquisition standpoint. It's similar to going to the supermarket without a shopping list: you end up buying stuff that you don't really need just because it looks good and you're hungry! With SashaComp Services, that is not the case. Here, you not only have the shopping list, it's like having the marketing plan of the whole supermarket and knowing why everything is where it is and how they are trying to get you to buy it. This is the power of planned IT investing!

3. Disaster Recovery

 

It happens even in the best Corporations, it's just the nature of the universe. Call it Murphy's law, Chaos Theory, whatever you call it, there is always the probability that something might go wrong. When something goes wrong and you don't have an IT management plan, how nice is it to get behind a computer and try to make sense of the cables or on the software side, go ahead and try to figure out which of your 12 PC stations has the lock that is creating havoc within your whole network?

No, it's not very nice. It's not even easy for experts to try and fix a mess in those circumstances. So, instead of trying to do a break fix process of who knows what, the difference is that we have wisely implemented our IT management plan that tells us exactly how your whole IT system is configured. It's a map that shows what cable leads to what port on what switch to which PC... you get the point. A map that let us know what is where and why, which people have access to what equipment, we have dated data entries, reports of automatic updates, security logs, you name it...

Imagine the cost of fixing all of that without a map. The IT Management Plan is an investment that will pay for itself many times over, with the savings that'll bring to your business in the long run.

So, then we go ahead and take care of the problem in a scientific and efficient manner. And your files? No worries about that, because your unique plan includes an IT management process for system backups, such as your databases.

Now all you have to do is give us a call and we'll put the whole thing together, just the way IT is supposed to be.
