IT ARCHITECTURE REVIEW
Whatever the size of your business, at DNA IT, we are able to run through the challenges you face and draw up appropriate and cost-efficient solutions that will help you to get on with getting things done.
We want to eliminate the headaches that IT systems can produce and at the same time introduce you to better ways of doing IT
IT POSITION PAPER & RECOMMENDATIONS
We can prepare a written report outlining the current situation of your IT infrastructure and give you recommendations on what you need to implement to achieve your business objectives.
IT & BUSINESS ALIGNMENT
When a business uses IT effectively and aligns their IT strategy with the business objectives then it is more likely to be successful. We work together to coordinate application and infrastructure projects that are good for the business. By assisting management and users in making full use of the IT system capabilities this can enable growth.
IT PLANNING & BUDGET
All IT projects require careful planning and execution to ensure they are delivered on time and within budget. Careful planning means less risk to your business. Often the introduction of new systems has to be done out of hours, in a phased manner, often on a schedule that avoids downtime.
To achieve this, DNA IT Solutions treats even the smallest projects seriously to ensure everything is competently managed.
IT MENTORING
Our IT mentoring service is designed to enhance the IT security knowledge and practice of our customers.
They can establish a relationship with an expert that will enhance their interaction with the IT system.
They will have access to somebody that has all the expertise needed and will share that knowledge and guide them along the way.
IT PROJECT MANAGEMENT
From our experience almost all projects can be broken into five phases – Initiation, Design, Execution, Monitoring, Completion.
We have worked with many customers in a variety of industry sectors and are experts in bringing projects from concept to completion. We have the expertise to know what you need and the experience to implement it.
