Planning, Budgeting, Migration, Implementation

Like many aspects of running a business, planning is vital.  Planning for change, planning for upgrades, planning for turnover, planning for new methods and technologies.  IT has it's own set of issues for planning.  Equipment costs can be high; new software implementation can be costly - not only in money, but in time.

Some new functions can be phased into the current environment, with minimal disruption to daily operations.  Other changes can cause an office to come to a standstill.  With planning, risks can be minimized.

Some planning and budgeting items may include:

• New equipment or equipment upgrades
• New software implemention
• New office move; office moves involve a great deal of planning (we have guidelines to assist you)
• Adding a new application server to an existing network
• Migrating to a new operating environment
• Establishing a budget and budgeting process for new technology
• Employee turnover and termination preparedness
• Establish an upgrade plan for new equipment; recycle or rotate old equipment
