Small Business IT Outsourcing
Why Outsourcing Makes Business Sense
Gilbert area small businesses leverage IT outsourcing to
control costs and add value to their information network.
By outsourcing IT services, small companies can gain access
to certified IT consultants without having to pay for and
manage an ever-growing number of full-time IT personnel. IT
outsourcing allows your company to direct management time
and attention to bolstering your core business without losing
the advantage of expert network support.
IT outsourcing has undergone significant growth among small
businesses both because of increasing pressure on IT budgets
and the development of more cost-effective service models
. Surveys reveal several key factors behind the decision of
small businesses to outsource IT services:
- Allow senior management to focus on business issues
- Trim operating costs and provide better visibility for
IT expenses
- Reduce the support burden of internal IT resources
- Gain access to world-class capabilities
- Intelligently supplement rather than expand in-house
IT staff
DCI's outsourcing services meet the requirements of small
businesses whose situation makes it impractical to negotiate
expensive, iron-clad service contracts with enterprise outsourcing
firms but who are reluctant to put their IT support in the
hands of an independent consultant or small consulting firm.
DCI offers a variety of IT outsourcing services for small
businesses in the Gilbert area:
|
Microsoft ISA 2004 Support Consultant |
DCI's Microsoft-certified
staff have extensive experience developing Microsoft-based
security solutions for networks with multiple sites, mobile
workers, and mission-critical eCommerce applications.
DCI's consultants can help your business plan and
implement a configuration of ISA 2004 that supports your
business needs without adversely restricting your network.

Service Documentation |
DCI's highly evolved
service reporting system produces detailed documentation
for all delivered services. Every DCI staff member
has complete access to all details of services delivered
by any team member to every client. This record of issues
and resolutions, as well as false alarms and missteps,
is organized as an quickly accessible and searchable internal
database that allows DCI's consultants to share their
knowledge company-wide so that the overall effectiveness
of DCI's support grows over time. |
|
Wireless Consulting |
DCI's wireless consulting
includes traditional WiFi infrastructure but can also
help you with wireless bridges, which provide a quick
and affordable way to create secure, high-speed data connectivity
between office buildings. This can avoid the cost of an
extra private line, provide an emergency redundant communication
link, or perform as an inexpensive data backhaul. By reducing
installation expenses and eliminating, recurring fees
associated with standard T1, E1 or DS-3 circuits, wireless
bridges can often pay for themselves within a few months. |
