IT Strategy and Virtual IT Director

Whether your business needs ad-hoc support or is growing to the point where a formal IT Support function is needed to keep things running smoothly, Siarp is here to help.

Whilst we can offer support packages to suit your needs, we usually recommend a monthly contract, because we feel this keeps us in touch with everything that is happening at your business which saves time in the long-run. Our monitoring systems help to alert us to anything bad that might happen and also provides us with quick and easy access to help fix issues as and when they arise.

Should you already have an IT support provider in place, or have coverage through existing staff, we can offer strategic advice and support to help you find the best solutions and ensure that you’re getting the services you need. This comes in the form of our Virtual IT Director service.

Are you getting what you and your business needs?

Whether you have a current I.T provider or a small existing team looking after your day to day needs, it’s possible your business could benefit from strategic direction from an impartial third-party. That’s where Siarp can help. We have a broad range of skills across multiple areas of technology and are able to offer strategic advice and guideance to help you solve problems in a different way.

Make Better Decisions

You might not need a full-time I.T director, especially if your business is not big enough to justify employing someone to fill the role. That doesn’t mean your business can’t benefit from having independent advice from someone who knows and understands your business and where you want to take it.

Working on an impartial basis, we would get to know you and your business, attending meetings as needed and listening to your business strategy, helping you to understand and identify the right technology to succeed on your journey.

Vendor Management

As with most businesses, you’ll likely have many vendors from I.T Support to hardware providers and specialist software vendors. We can take on the role of managing these relationships to help ensure you’re getting the most out of these companies. By translating the business needs into technical needs we can keep your plans on track.

Mentoring

Have you started to build an internal I.T team with a junior member of staff looking after your day to day needs? If so, perhaps you could benefit from an experienced mentor helping to guide them. It can be a lonely role at times, especially when things are not going to plan. Give your team the support they need and guidance to help develop them into the senior team member that will keep your business working like a well-oiled-machine.

How does it work?

Take as much or as little time as you like. What is important is that we’re able to get to know you and your business. Ideally we’d meet at least monthly, catching up on your pain points, plans and goals.
