Uncovering Your Specific Needs

Before businesses start receiving Managed IT Services, they receive a technology assessment. Often times, business owners don’t have a clear picture of their business technology and the impact it has on their organization . S-TEK assessment solves that problem. A thorough business technology assessment lets us get to know your business technology inside and out. And we use that information to show business owners and key stakeholders exactly how their current business technology is functioning within its organization. In other words, a technology assessment lays out the details of your business infrastructure in such a way that you’ll walk away understanding what areas are putting your business at risk and what steps you can take to mitigate that risk. Here’s how it works…

On-site Audit In order to get a baseline for understanding your organization’s technology, we perform an on-site audit. This audit is the most tech-heavy component of the assessment; but in the simplest terms, it involves deploying software and sending an on-site technician to your location. Most importantly, the technician moves through an IT assessment checklist, which he uses to build out a picture of your current hardware In terms of technology assessment tools, the software allows us to gather information on how your current technology is functioning.
