The decisions get harder.
Upgrade this...Consolidate that...
Move to this platform...Get more bandwidth...Buy that new hardware...Buy that new software application...Hire more internal technical staff...
How do we stop the surprise interruptions...
How do we stop the constantly-growing investment in both old and new "technologies?" |

How do we get control?
And the organization still has the scar tissue from the last big software implementation...Which is still ongoing, now that you think of it...And your competitors keep finding new Web marketing angles and Web-based applications for your customers.
And, basically, IT is one big black hole..."Projects" take longer, and cost more, than planned...The staff just keeps growing...The software license numbers keep growing...and there is NEVER the case where they say: "OK, we can do that application for our customers. We can do it quickly, and we don't even need to buy any more servers or software to make it work!"
One of the reasons it's a Black Hole is: Your internal IT staff suffers from the "We don't know what we don't know" syndrome. They have grown up in your data center. They know it like the back of their hand...But...In the meantime, 1000s of new developments have hit the market...and perhaps 10 of them could have had a positive impact on your IT infrastructure.
But, you'll never know...Because they won't tell you.
If you push for answers, they will "research" by talking to the product vendors.
Number 1 new rule for you and your IT function: You drive the products, not vice-versa.
You drive the products by creating leverage. We create leverage by augmenting your internal IT staff, which is EXCELLENT on the current installed infrastructure, with a broad-based, independent, services partner. That services partner enables you to manage the hardware, software, and network vendors. That management creates an integrated, secure, efficient, internal IT infrastructure, one that exactly meets your needs.
This is different for some product vendors, who are used to forcing you to change your internal processes and policies to comply with their software business rules.
The Good News is, of course, that the whole industry...customers, distributors, manufacturers, service providers...is moving from a product-driven stage to a customer-driven stage. (Some are just a little farther along than others.)
To be the customer driving the products, you need a service partner that can support the full range of your product options. You need a service partner that gives you some options on how you want your IT delivered. You need a service partner that is independent of any products.
NetEconomist is helping organizations of all sizes to move to a customer-driven state. With services ranging from emergency technical support to complete outsourcing of IT staff and total IT infrastructure.
With computing on demand, utility computing, ASP models, and other new delivery methods, you can get the IT you want, to do what you want, when you want to do it.
Stop. Think. How much do you have tied up in your current IT cost structure? How much of it is fixed? How much of it is tied to the past? To sustaining legacy systems? Which ones are close to obsolescence? The ROI on buying hardware, software, and network products has not been outstanding.
But now it needs to be. Now it CAN be.
Within a matter of months, your entire conglomeration of software products could be running in one of the world's most secure processing and storage facilities. You could be out of the IT staff management business, the when-do-we-buy-that-next-server decision business, and out of the Black Hole business.
NetEconomist turns Black Holes into Bright Spots. IT that works for you, not vice-versa. IT that does provide a measurable return on investment. IT that reduces your overhead. IT that eliminates its own overhead.entirely.
