Technologies can create competitive advantages for organizations, when selected correctly.  This selection process can be one of the most challenging decisions businesses face in today's fast changing IT environment. A technology assessment done prior to the technology adoption reduces the risk of ineffective investment decisions and will help you implement technology that’s designed to help you do a better job, be faster and more efficient.

What might be found?

Any weakness in the company’s security protocols leaves it vulnerable to attack. It’s important to detect intrusions early on to avoid its adverse effects on your IT network and business operations.

Assess the differences between cybersecurity infrastructure and compliance or business goals.

Different departments have varying levels of technology needs — some teams may need more resources than others. However, an organization may be overusing or underusing their businesses’ resources without knowing it.

Technology assessment examines the entire system and enables you to allocate and optimize your resources properly.

If you’ve noticed your network slowing down, it could be due to video streaming, multiple programs running at the same time, file downloads, excessive cloud storage usage, or all of the above. All these activities require and use up bandwidth, which can affect your IT network to an extent. 

These will be identified with a IT Assessment so you can put in place rule to improve and speed up your network.
