Strategy
While the cost consciousness of the last few years is here to stay, most small- and medium-sized business owners need outside expert assistance to help them define and meet IT cost-savings objectives. Businesses with less than 50 employees generally don't have CTOs or formalized ITbudgets. They approach their information technology on an as-needed basis even as they become increasingly dependent upon 24x7 uptime, secure global access to critical business data, and zero point-in-time recovery should any data be damaged or lost. This is very common. Most small businesses have one or two semiskilled staff members—often the owners themselves—who provide the lion share of IT planning and support. Often born of necessity, this approach to IT management does not avoid the common pitfalls associated with owner-managed IT—decreased reliability of IT services and components, increased direct and indirect support costs, and the attendant loss of efficiency and profitability.
