How hard can it be?

It may seem that thing’s shouldn’t be that hard, but the fact is they are. Innovation has occurred so fast in this industry and competition has been so fierce that standardization has taken a back seat. All the while, businesses keep adding PC’s to the office and trusting that someone understands what’s happening to their business data. The fact is that most businesses are becoming more and more dependent on technology that they understand less and less! If you knew the risk and exposure to your company, you might be appalled.

SSI can't be blamed for the technical complexity any more than you can blame your accountant for the bloated tax code. But just like you need an accountant to show you how to stay out of trouble and administer your financial assets, you can count on SSI to keep you out of trouble and help you administer your technical assets. Our services include:

• Network Design to help you select and implement technology that will help you grow.
  
• Audit Deliverables where we review your server health, backup systems, security policies and risks, etc. and give you a written report of findings and concerns so that you can act before disaster strikes.
  
• Service Maintenance Agreements where you pre-purchase service hours in exchange for discounted rates and preferred response. Service hours can be used on demand or SSI can proactively administer your entire network.
  
• Emergency Services for when disaster does strike including downed servers, crashed hard drives, deleted files, and more. When you local computer shop can't handle the job, call SSI. We succeed where others fail.

Technology isn’t getting simpler, it’s getting more complex. Most users are not in control of the technology that surrounds them. People have important data and personal information scattered in hundreds of places across the technology landscape, locked away in applications, product registration databases, cookies, Web site user tracking databases, etc. Having a friend’s phone number programmed into your cell phone doesn’t solve the problem of needing to get their contact information when using a PC-based email application: those two technologies are unable talk to each other.

Isn’t it amazing that for all the progress in technology we still have a difficult time sharing a simple phone list between two devices or a word processing file between two users of different word processing programs? Have you ever asked, “How hard can that be?”
