Trusted Advisor Strong relationships are built on trust. We’ve earned the trust of our clients over the years by creating and rolling out IT strategies that totally change the way they do business, making them faster and stronger than ever before. We have the experience, ingenuity, and resources to do the same for you. Virtual CIO Outsourcing your chief information officer (CIO) position with KSMC has many advantages. For one, it means having a whole team of experienced IT engineers on your side instead of one person. That versatility leads to fast, effective problem solving that goes far beyond what you might expect from a helpdesk or software administrator. IT Strategy and Roadmap Given the complexity of technology today, an easy-to-understand IT action plan that supports your business strategy is critical in taking your business to the next level. Our team of experts can help you develop a three-year IT roadmap that clearly identifies what is in store in your future including spend, resources, technology, and more. IT Budget and Planning Many companies have no idea what their true cost of IT really is because of hidden expenditures, difficult-to-decipher contracts, and industry-specific terminology. But we can give you a clear, easy-to-understand picture of your IT spending, which will make sure there aren’t any budgetary surprises down the road. We’ll also make sure you’re prioritizing your projects and spends strategically, and in ways that promote growth and profitability. Cloud Solutions Design Whether it’s Office 365 integration, disaster recovery options, or business continuity solutions, we use proven methodologies to implement the cloud support you need. We ask the right questions, then create a customized, cloud-based plan for your organization that combines your objectives with a clear path to achieving them. Vendor Contract Review Technology contracts can be notoriously difficult to understand. That can lead to overpayment, or payment for services that aren’t being used. We look at vendor contracts every day, and have a good understanding of fair market rates for vendor technology services, which means we’ll make sure you’re never overpaying on a contract.
