At Cloud Edge all your problems can be sorted with no fuss, and their process works to highlight your issues, identify your needs and set you up with solid support and systems you can count on, and they start this process by creating a roadmap.

A Cloud Edge roadmap is where they identify where your business is going and offer suggestions. A one to three-year plan is created, based on where you’re taking your business and how your IT is going to help you best along the way, and an example would be if your goal is six new staff members by the end of the year. In this case, what do you need to start thinking about here and now, in order to prepare for that? e.g. Does the email platform you’re using scale to allow for those new users?

Cloud Edge will start with an IT Audit, which is an independent evaluation of technology and business processes, to ensure these two elements have kept pace and match your business’ requirements. Often when technology is deployed it suits the current situation but doesn’t evolve as technology and business requirements change, and for this reason there is real value to be gained from an IT audit.

Cloud Edge specialise in matching technology and processes with your business strategy, and will put together a plan which uses technology and process improvement to match your business strategy. They then monitor this to ensure your business continues to benefit from a strong technology and strategy alignment.

They will then initiate a Project Plan, explaining the longer term IT needs of your company, which can be broken down into what’s needed and when. This way, achievable segments are prioritised and planned for which limits down time, and ensures the order of priority is clear. Overall risks to your business are minimal or non-existent with a solid project plan in place.

Businesses are constantly evolving, so after 12 months Cloud Edge will review your systems and your project plan to ensure your needs are still being met. At this time they will also see if they can identify any cost savings, passing these on to you. The prime purpose of the review stage is to ensure your IT requirements continue to be implemented on an uninterrupted, unhindered course and it’s business as usual for you, with no nasty IT surprises.
