Technical Operations
In an age when technical operations has become a required, utility-like
function,
businesses are increasing confronted with a simultaneous business and
budgetary
challenge: how to keep operations at peak performance while also keeping it
affordable.
For most companies, these needs are asymmetrical. You may need a network architect for a month – and then you only need him / her part time on an ongoing basis. You need immediate 24/7 response to service disruptions, and yet can’t allocate too much budget to resources that are hopefully idle most of the time.
As a result, hiring an operations team is often viewed as a series of compromises:
- Should you recruit the expensive specialists or a broad generalist?
- Do you hire based on most urgent needs or to support the long term
strategy?
- How do you balance needs for architects, implementers and administrators?
These tradeoffs are the symptom of a larger problem. By its very nature, good infrastructure management will periodically require specialists. Yet few budgets can justify dedicated technical expertise always be on hand just in case they're needed.
24/7 Monitor... On-site... Your Environment
Most small and medium sized businesses have similar needs as large companies - 24/7 monitoring, on-site support and broad range of technical skills to keep systems running. However, due to their relatively smaller budget and size, tradeoffs are made regarding skills and headcount that put the organization at risk.
The TDS team can augment your staff bringing the same "big and broad" IT capabilities of the large companies - at a fraction of the cost. This "IT on demand" lowers operating expense while improving overall service delivery.
We manage the technology operations of many small companies and have become an integral part of their IT department. TDS is a logical choice for companies that want deep IT expertise on their side, but do not want to deal with the costs and management focus that in-house capabilities sometimes require.
Many other technical operations companies will restrict you to their choice of technology – operating systems, storage, etc. We let you leverage the technology you need to run your business.
IT on Demand
For many companies, it simply does not make sense to have a dedicated internal technical operations team onsite 24/7.
With TDS, you get the IT team of a $100-500 million company without the cost and headaches.
