There are several different kinds of companies that offer computer and network related services.
The Quick-Fix Crew
There are those that provide you with the exact a la cart solution that you ask for. This can be good when you just need a quick fix here and there but it can also be costly when there is another solution better that is better suited for your overall goal.
The ROI Guys
There are those whose sales folks wear suits all of the time and have "ROI" on their business cards. These companies never really have a quick fix for your needs. Rather they want to do a complete evaluation of everything you have (even the stuff that is working) and then write up a long winded, not always based on reality, "Return On Investment" for a major system overhaul. In the end the ROI that they put together only seems to include items that make the bottome line "appear better". These companies rarely offer solutions that are in the best interest of your company overall.
Penbroke Systems
Then there are those companies that do a little of both. That's Penbroke Systems. We offer the quick fixes and simple implementations that you ask us for but also like to throw in an occasional option or different approach that could save you money and have more value to you in the long run. We also do full evaluations and "ROI's" but like to keep them based in reality. |
