Today’s competitive landscape and market pressures are driving small and mid-sized businesses (SMB’s) to work smarter, faster, and cheaper – to continually do more with even less. More than ever before, SMB’s must be 100% focused on their core mission of delivering products or services to market. Any activity or expenditure that doesn’t contribute directly to that mission must be closely scrutinized. As a result, timely and secure access to information and data analysis has never been more critical. Despite the obvious and growing need for it, effective and efficient information technology (IT) continues to elude most SMB’s.
GEN5 has the answer. After almost ten years of research, practical application, and successful “in the trenches” work with SMB’s, we’ve developed a unique approach to IT outsourcing that resolves these issues and:
-
eliminates the management of IT - and the HR overhead
-
stabilizes IT costs, simplifying budgeting
-
dramatically reduces IT risk by making IT stable and reliable
-
provides high-impact strategic IT guidance
-
adds needed additional functionality and capability
All while providing a predictable month-over-month cost that’s equal to or possibly even less than what you’re already spending today. SMB’s gain the piece-of-mind that comes from knowing that:
-
IT is finally strategy-focused and business-driven - no more "technology for technology's sake"
-
technology costs are stabilized, predictable, and accurately budgeted
-
technology systems risk is dramatically reduced - systems are up, avaiable, and reliable
-
mission-critical company data is secure from outside threats
-
data and files are backed up, stored securely, and easily restored in the event of a crisis, natural disaster, or other loss - disaster recovery and business continuity are finally a reality
-
technology is kept current – no more failing systems followed by unbudgeted costs for replacement
-
IT projects are tightly managed with a business perspective by experts who speak the language of both IT AND business
-
spam, viruses, and malware are no longer a daily hassle

- How It Works
-
First, GEN5 will work with you to assess your current IT organization and technology effectiveness. We’ll create a matrix that asks and answers questions such as:
-
What gets done? What doesn’t get done? Why?
-
What does the business need from IT that it isn’t getting today? What’s missing from IT or the technology itself that, if present, would enable the business, and support corporate strategy?
-
What does IT cost? What’s the REAL cost of IT, including shadow IT and other hidden costs?
-
How is IT budgeted?
-
What staff and skills are present and what skill sets are actually needed to manage your current and future technology environment?
-
How are backups, security and disaster recovery managed (if at all)?
-
How are projects defined, prioritized, and managed?
Once these and other questions are answered, GEN5 will quickly demonstrate how your company will benefit from our unique approach to outsourcing all of your IT. We'll help you to shift your focus from IT and technology limitations to where it belongs - on your core business.
Next, GEN5 will provide a short-list of perfectly matched outsourcing partners who can deliver the exact set of services you require. The current outsourcing provider market is a dizzying array of literally thousands of companies. We’ve sifted through these to find both the niche providers and generalists who can deliver the suite of outsourced services at the price point your business requires. We’re there with you every step of the way to select the best of the best, to develop the most advantageous contract terms, to manage the transition to outsourced IT, and to build out the vendor management model going forward. We’ll even take over 100% of the vendor management on your behalf if we both agree that this model makes sense for your company.
- Budget Impacts
-
Perhaps the most rewarding aspect of our IT Outsourcing practice comes when we’re able to show our clients how they can maintain their current IT spend, or even reduce costs by outsourcing their entire IT organization and technology portfolio. Better service, less hassle, managed or even reduced costs, and technology that’s robust, reliable, and current – finally, something relating to IT that’s worthy of celebration!
Our model delivers all the IT benefits otherwise available only to very large companies at a cost that routinely ranges from 20-40% below current IT spend. This may well be the only remaining improvement in operations that really is faster, better, AND cheaper. Once our clients see our IT Outsourcing model and budget, they often ask “why wouldn’t we do this?” We agree. Why wouldn’t you do this? Call us today to hear how we can help you save money and get more from IT.
