Strategic Technology Management When You Need It

Like many business managers, you don’t have enough time to run the business, and to manage your technology effectively at the same time.

Are you…

• Overwhelmed by technology jargon?
• Worried about your technology costs?
• Being sold “solutions” which never seem to solve anything?
• Held back by Technology complexity?
• Getting poor value for money from your technology?
• Dealing with staff who hardly use technologies which cost you a fortune?
• With staff frustrated by old technology?
• Worried about technology changing your industry?
• Worried that you don’t know what you don’t know?

We can help to bring your technology under control, and keep it there!

Recalibrate’s IT Director Service provides your business the strategic oversight you need to really benefit from the use of technology, but without the overheads of an expensive senior resourse.

This service will provide the following benefits to your business:

• Independent, objective technology advice and analysis
• Visibility and control of your critical business technology
• Strategic alignment of your technology investments
• Transparency and understanding of your technology capabilities and future requirements
• The pragmatic application of technology tools to improve operations and support strategic objectives

• “Translation” of IT speak into business terms and effective engagement with key stakeholders

This package of services provides effective technology assurance for your company to ensure that you are heading in the right direction, and using technology cost-effectively and efficiently to support your business activities.
