 Do
you view technology as an expense or an asset?
Have you tried to implement a new software
system and been disappointed with the results?
Are you frustrated that your people can’t
effectively share information?
Does your technology compliment your processes
or hinder them?
Is your current system configuration fully
documented?
Does your business have a Disaster Recovery
Plan? If so, has it been tested??
If you don’t like your answers to any of the
above questions, ENS is offering an alternative
approach. We take a broader perspective on
technology. We act as a Virtual “Chief
Information Officer” (VCIO) to actually help
manage a company’s technological investment. Our
professional services practice helps clients
align their technological needs with their
business in several ways. One aspect is
preparing technology budgets and action plans to
support the client’s existing business plan. The
second aspect is developing a framework for our
clients that will increase awareness of
technology opportunities that potentially make
contributions to their business, thus positively
enhancing the bottom line. The third aspect is
to ensure that clients are adequately protected
with Disaster Planning.
Too many companies miss out by looking at
technology as an expense rather than an asset.
Many companies think of technology in terms of
email, accounting and continually being forced
to purchase faster computers. Information
technology can and should work for them, not the
other way around. We help our clients increase
revenues and decrease expenses by becoming more
productive and efficient. Often, it may not even
involve increasing or modifying their current
system as much as it is learning to use what
they already have to its full capacity. The VCIO
practice was designed by ENS to help business’
bridge the gap between continually changing
technology and good business practices. With
VCIO, ENS can help leverage the right technology
to help a business succeed, while putting the
products, services, and budgets together to plan
for expenses.
The ENS VCIO practice is also designed to
improve business processes to remove
“information islands” throughout the
organization. We often see clients duplicating
efforts in different departments and not
effectively sharing the same information. By
challenging the operational “status quo”, our
clients gain improved visibility from both a
technological and business viewpoint.
Your company’s electronic information is your
most valuable asset. Statistics prove that
should it be lost in a disaster, companies
rarely recover. We believe that every company
should have a tested Disaster Recovery Plan
(DRP) as part of its overall business plan. Our
VCIO consultants can assist you with testing
your DRP or help you design one if none exist.
At ENS, we know how technology best contributes
to business and how it doesn’t. The VCIO program
serves as an excellent tool for communication
between the IT staff and executives. Our VCIO
consultants use their experience in business and
technical solutions to develop a statement of
the economic value (ROI) and the benefits of
technology investments being considered.
