Technology Planning
Without planning, technology costs can be unpredictable. Many small companies do not even have a line item in their budget for IT, but IT is such an intrinsic part of business today that not treating it as a core function is a mistake. With the right technologies, small companies can outperform larger ones and take business from the technologically inadequate.
We help our customers deploy technology in the most focused way by:
- Creating an IT budget
- Developing asset management plans
- Providing best-practice solutions for solving business needs
- Hiring the right person for the job if you want to staff internally
You can't get where you want if you don't first determine where that is and how to get there. Let Langtech's 20+ years of experience help you create a roadmap to deploy technology efficiently and win market share.
Office Moves
You want to move but you can't afford any downtime for your workers. When your email goes down for a day because you're moving into a new space, it can look bad to your partners and clients.
We can help make your office move a success by:
- Ensuring that the new site has the necessary infrastructure in place before the move commences.
- Coordinating old and new Internet connections so connectivity to the outside world continues.
- Making additional manpower available for moving all the devices.
- Providing setup, test and additional on-site support after the move.
Let Langtech focus on moving your infrastructure without worry.
Upgrades & Rollouts
Retaining your competitive advantage means keeping your technology up-to-date and overhauling it every three to four years. While you can get by with older technology, support and operational knowledge wanes until it costs more to support your old technology than a new implementation would cost. Langtech can provide complete beginning-to-end implementation or just parts—your choice.
Our capabilities include:
- Project planning for upgrades and rollouts
- Network infrastructure design, including network equipment and cabling
- Server upgrades, replacements and virtualization
- Desktop upgrades, replacements and rebuilds
- Complete remote access solutions, VPNs and Web-based access
- Security overhauls, determining risks and deploying appropriate countermeasures
- Automated Application and patch deployments.
Unlike internal IT departments, we are constantly deploying new technologies and therefore have the experience to ensure a successful rollout.
Project Management
According to findings by The Standish Group, 80% of IT-related projects are over budget, late, lack functionality or are never delivered. The principal reasons for this include poor communications and lack of planning. Strong project management is critical to the success of any project. That's why we take project management methodologies very seriously to ensure we have successful implementation of complex technologies.
We can help you successfully manage projects by:
- Identifying tasks that are actually projects, and handling them as projects
- Adhering to Microsoft Solutions Framework and Project Management Institute project methodologies
- Advocating frequent client involvement. No project is complete until the client is satisfied
- Employing lessons learned and industry-best practices
- Understanding that communications is the key to success
We have a very strong track record of success, whether it's building a new corporate Web site, implementing a complete Windows server virtualization, or moving corporate headquarters to a new location.
