Technology Plans and IT Consulting
Strategic technology plans for your small or medium sized business is very important for setting up a solid road map to success.

While there are many ways to do this it all starts with a strategic IT plan. A proper IT or technology plan for your business should increase productivity, reduce operational costs, pain points, improve customer service, and be an equitable investment that will always grow with your business.

Technology Plans
Since 2008, Network Medics has been helping clients align technology needs with strategic business needs. We help define what technology is ideally needed to support your business by first understanding your business.

Network Medics is a leading Minneapolis-based IT managed services provider helping you maximize and optimize your IT budget with a customized strategic IT plan that will thoroughly address your current and future needs.

There are three important questions we ask
when creating a technology plan:
  • What drives your business cash flow (EBITDA) and outage ramifications?
  • What drives your less tangible but still critically important company value?
  • What are the “pain points” in your company’s revenue generating, mission-critical workflows

Whether it is a one-time project or ongoing VitalCare technology plans, we help our clients to assess technology from a cost/benefit perspective.

We will also interview your executive team and perhaps even other key employees. Often your employees know your worst pain points but don’t feel as though they can speak up. A network assessment will generally pull even the smallest issue that may become a bigger issue down the road. Therefore, we visit all key locations and work with your internal team to develop a thorough Technology Plan.
