HalSys's breadth and depth of technical expertise, and familiarity
with enterprise IT allow small businesses to avoid the pitfalls associated with
excessive reliance on smaller service organizations or independent freelance consultants.
Working with HalSys allows your business to:
Avoid Dependence on Individual Freelance Consultants
For IT support some businesses often rely heavily on independent freelance consultants.
Although freelance consultants carry less overhead than larger support organizations
and can afford to charge marginally less, they are often stretched too thin to respond
quickly to urgent situations. If an independent consultant is busy with another
client, sick, on vacation or in training, the lack of backup personnel may force
your business to wait for help during an emergency. As your small business grows,
network downtime or problems with critical applications become more costly. The
money you thought you were saving on a freelancer can be eaten up quickly by lost
productivity.
Have Access to Expertise in Complex IT Solutions
Many small service organizations or freelance consultants focused on small business
IT support may excel at providing "connect-the-dots" solutions but lack
the experience to deal cost-effectively with complex IT infrastructures with features
such as multi-office connectivity, VPNs, mobile workforces, telecommuter support,
integrated financial and operational applications, eCommerce, and custom software.
HalSys's enterprise experience can be valuable to your small business because enterprise
environments are inherently complex, integration issues require in-depth knowledge
in many IT disciplines, and achieving a high level of stability, reliability and
security requires enterprise-proven best practices.
Let Senior Management Focus Business, Not Networks
Many businesses are aggressively moving to outsourced support models for information
technology because building up large internal IT staffs seldom pays off with strategic
business advantages. Attempting to handle all IT service issues in-house can bog
down senior management with the details of IT problems, yielding poor returns for
time invested by such top talent.
Companies need reliable, feature-rich, scalable, and fault-tolerant IT environments
to support their mission critical applications, but they recognize that it makes
little business sense to own and build such systems themselves or to manage large
internal staffs of IT personnel. Smart outsourcing or co-sourcing allows companies
to concentrate their internal resources on areas that will bring them the greatest
strategic and competitive advantages in the markets they serve.
Build a Solid Foundation for Seamless Growth
Some businesses often start with an IT system implemented on a shoestring budget.
Lacking a proper foundation, a series of band-aid fixes often get piled on top of
a weak foundation. As a business grows, stability and scalability issues can hinder
the success of the organization. Such environments need proper assessment, intelligent
strategic planning, and broad-based expertise to upgrade to an IT infrastructure
that will provide the solid foundation to meet critical business needs and ease
future growth.
Work with Solution Providers, Not Product Resellers
Some businesses require guidance and education to navigate through an increasingly
complex maze of technology options available for accelerating business growth and
improving efficiency. They do not need an IT consultant who is trying to sell them
a product. HalSys avoids conflicts of interest by not selling any products. This
allows HalSys to align technical expertise with the best interests of clients. IT
consulting and product selling can lead to a situation where the proposed solution
is built around a predetermined technology rather than the genuine needs of a business.
