All business owners should be regularly evaluating their network, network needs and planning for future growth. But why be your own IT Company?

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is an instant network infrastructure. It is an entire network, provisioned and managed over the Internet. This allows you the flexibility to quickly scale up and down with demand and you only pay for what you use.

We are seeing a rapidly growing trend among small to medium sized businesses, moving to this type of network. According to Statista, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), is predicted to reach $17.5B worldwide in 2018. Household name companies like Amazon currently hold the largest IaaS market share with Amazon Web Services (AWS), and will be competing with other cloud infrastructure services like Microsoft Azure and Google Compute Engine (GCE).

2018 will be the year where adoption of Enterprise Cloud Services improves for businesses of all sizes. It makes sense for a lot of them as it is cost effective, and can fit most budgets. Consumer Cloud Services will skyrocket, Cloud-based File Sharing Services will Increase, Collaboration Services will become more familiar, and Social Media Services will continue to be made applicable to every industry and claim the highest in adoption.

Each IaaS resource is offered as a separate service component, so you only need to rent a particular service for as long as you need it. It also helps you avoid the expense and complexity of buying and managing your own physical servers and other network infrastructure. This will free you up to focus on business, versus being an IT expert. The Cloud computing service provider you choose manages the infrastructure, while you purchase, install, configure, and manage your own software—operating systems, middleware, and applications. We are not seeing this as a bandwagon type of technology, so we assist our clients in evaluating this type of network as a viable solution, to see if it’s a good fit for their company.

Team

Do you have a project in the works but it’s stalled because no one is working together? Do you want to expand but have no idea where to start? You should consider hiring a Project Manager and we can help with that. Whether your team collaboration crosses cubicles or spans time zones, a project manager is the engine that keeps work moving along and all teams on the same page and we can find the right person for the job.
Here are the top 3 reasons you need a Project Manager –
• They are the main point of contact for all teams involved. They communicate and keep everyone on track so that tasks and deadlines are met. Even one delayed deadline will impact all other work. It’s like a domino effect, where negative consequences will lead to a project scope creep. With a Project Manager at the helm, you can trust that they will meet those deadlines in time.
• A Project Manager will help to make sure the project falls within the budget established. Without project management, a new endeavor can take longer to develop and implement. Time is money, and most businesses are investing in and allocating resources to the development of new things. If the project is not being properly monitored, resources are wasted or misused.
One of the ways project managers keep costs down is by understanding the resources needed for any one project. Many project managers contracted for specific types of work have a reliable contact list of contractors to use on any project. The project manager should be able to put a team together as needed based on the scope and budget of the project.
• Effective project management gives businesses a competitive advantage. Business owners who constantly try to stay competitive may find themselves in areas they are unfamiliar with on projects. Project management helps the business owner by using the experts in the areas needed while allowing the business owner to serve as an adviser to the project. The project manager can break any project into smaller sections and provide timetables and metrics regarding success that help the business owner define the true viability of the project.
If you have a large project on the drawing board but not sure where or how to begin or already in the works but it’s not going anywhere and there’s a lot of miscommunication, you need a Project Manager and we are here to help you find the right person to ensure your project’s success!
