ASP Consultants - Fractional Information Technology Services

We often encounter growing companies with an IT department consisting of a few system administrators that provide a 'jack-of-all-trades' type service. While this type of service is fine for a small company many executives find that they need a greater breadth and depth of expertise when faced with complex growth situations. These situations may include: multiple facilities, employee collaboration across distance, remote access to business systems, upgrading to midlevel business systems, data warehousing and reporting, complex internet transactions systems, strong internet security, custom business software and mergers & acquisitions. Most small companies cannot afford the IT staff required to properly address these complex business issues.

Just as corporations have begun to buy the right to use business aircraft on a part-time basis (fractional ownership), rather than sustaining an in-house aviation department, so a growing number of companies are learning that they can achieve their IT goals by buying fractional access to an array of IT services they normally require only from time to time.

ASP Consultants' Fractional IT Services program provides a cost-effective and easy way for both large and small corporations to address their specific IT needs by having just the right specialist available on an as-needed, project-focused basis.

In doing so, companies can reduce Full Time Employment - heavy budgets, stay abreast of new developments, and free up money for capital outlays and other corporate IT needs.

Whether your IT needs are for maintaining and tuning your current systems, periodic engineering and software support, creation of a disaster recovery plan, or scooping out your present and future IT budget needs, ASP Consultants Fractional IT Services specialists are there for you, 24/365 - and at the same time your company is moving personnel costs from the fixed to the variable side of your budget.

Best of all, our veteran, multi-certified and dedicated IT specialists bring their own experience and ASP Consultants' many years experience to the table, every time.

Ask Yourself
• Am I confident that the data stored in my corporate databases is accurate and    reliable? Are my current database systems able to handle new corporate initiatives    such as Internetworking, CRM, ERP or Ecommerce?

                                                                                     
• Are my current IT resources adequate to handle a large-scale software migration or    rollout?

                                                                                    
Whether you operate legacy systems, distributed systems, or emerging technology, Network Solutions bridges the technology divide. ASP Consultants provides a full lifecycle of services and solutions that help our clients plan, design, implement, and operate networks in today's rapidly changing and complex environment.

Facts
• Software migration and rollout will be an increasingly critical business challenge.
  Research from IDC finds that two-thirds of businesses plan to upgrade their operating   systems or office productivity suites this year. And, more and more companies will   need to support desktop applications on a global basis.

• Network downtime is significantly impacting the corporate bottom line challenge.
  Today's network infrastructures require increased security due to the rising level of   security breaches, both external and internal. They also need to scale more   effectively. According to Newport Group, 52% of all Web sites already flunk the   scalability test, while Jupiter Media Metrix expects the number of individuals seeking   online customer service to double over the next four years.

• Data integrity can make or break your business.
  A recent Gartner study of IT Executives found a direct and significant correlation   between critical business failures (lost sales, sub-par service quality, and failure to   bill and collect on receivables) and the inaccurate data within their own databases.

Business managers often need input from experienced technical people to help them plan, deploy and operate IT systems. However, not all companies have these resources in-house, and even when they do, these in-house resources are often unable to focus adequately on the requirements of other departments or users, given their own commitments.

ASP Consultants can help, applying our experience of IT and business to provide support and technical backup across a broad range of technical contexts. We pride ourselves on our high-quality technology consultancy services, offering clients the service and skills to ensure their business objectives are achieved. A key factor enabling us to deliver on this promise is our staff, who are highly trained and experienced technology professionals.
