Small to Mid-Size Business Solutions
Helping You See the Big Picture and Making a Roadmap to Get There
Managing a small or mid-size business takes a broad range of skills and experience. There are always competing pressures on your time and resources, and you always have to watch your spending.
Having smooth-running and secure information technology (IT) systems can provide a strong competitive advantage and help your business be successful. A work environment based on reliable technology infrastructure has a direct effect on profitability and customer service by promoting productivity, communications and effectiveness. Making sure that all this happens can be a big challenge, particularly when you don’t have the expertise on staff to do the job. For most small to mid-size businesses IT is not a core competency, so sustaining an internal IT department can be inefficient, costly and distractive.
You may have the day-to-day desktop, server maintenance, and network support issues under control, but what about new initiatives or business opportunities that require an infrastructure upgrade? Are you able to focus on longer term IT plans that go beyond the monthly or quarterly issues you face?
QAT can help enable your business success by helping you effectively use and manage your technology systems. We offer a range of technology services that can help you address these challenges and come out ahead of your competition.
For many companies, sitting down with the key decision makers and agreeing on priorities can be one of most difficult tasks because of competing objectives and tight budgets. Whether you are in need of making strategic IT decisions today, or wish to create a strategic IT plan, we can help you assess where your organization is today, determine what it will take to get where you want to be, understand what your options are to get there, and implement the best path for you.
We will sit down with you to understand your business objectives, your departmental inner workings, the current state of your network infrastructure, the competitive landscape and your goals as a company.
Technology advances at a rapid pace and taking advantage of the latest technologies can provide your organization with a competitive advantage, better efficiencies, better productivity and ultimately lower costs. However, it’s important to make the right technology choices and that requires a combination of experience and expertise from having done it before.
Why QAT?
Our information technology experience and commitment to client relationships enable us to provide creative and cost-effective solutions.
We'll help you decide which technologies are right for your business
Deciding on which technology (hardware, software or service) to incorporate into your business can be a daunting task. Manufacturers and vendors may hype their technology as a must have in order to run your business effectively. Friends or peers are more than happy to advise you on the best storage device, PDA, wireless access point or CRM solution. We're here to provide you with guidance of what the best option is for your specific needs.
We care about your bottom line too
Where do you start? How do you determine which technology to implement? How do you separate hype from reality? While it may be obvious, we have seen small and mid-size businesses implement new technologies without understanding its impact, associated support and maintenance, or the real business benefit. We strongly believe that you should never implement a new technology for the sake of the technology.
Benefit from our experience
QAT has over 15 years of experience in IT systems. We have assisted our clients evaluate, implement, and transition from numerous technologies. Many industries have applications specific to their industry and QAT is very knowledgeable with a large number of them. If we are not familiar, we will either partner with a software expert or learn the technology so we can support you.
We help you benefit from emerging technologies--when the time is right for you
Emerging technologies are always intriguing and in general, small to mid-size businesses are slower to adopt them. However, some companies are forced to implement earlier than they might themselves choose because of vendor, supplier or partner needs. We'll help you choose the right timing or handle sudden, unplanned changes.
