Medium Business (greater than 100 users)

Focus:  Technology Assessment and Analysis

Profile:  100 plus user firm with several international locations.  Medium businesses typically have multiple applications used throughout different business units and a more complex workflow than smaller firms.  

Challenge:  Medium-sized business work with large clients at all times of the day.  As a result, their technology environment and support personnel are heavily taxed.  IT support tends to focus on keeping the network running, rather than developing a technology plan for things like upgrading aging servers and equipment or implementing a Disaster Recovery plan.   

Solution:   Medium businesses partner with Lloyd Group to perform a complete network audit and assessment.  Lloyd Group interviews IT support and management teams to get workflow and business information.  We analyze the network to create a comprehensive document outlining the roles, ages, and remaining useful life of all their equipment and create a prioritized, phased upgrade plan.

Benefits:  These firms have a clear understanding of the roles that their equipment plays in their environment.  They have a roadmap to replace the part of the environment that is not working in the most cost effective and least disruptive manner.  The IT teams also have the benefit of Lloyd Group’s technical expertise to guide them through the upgrade process or handle it for them.
