Maximising Technology
As your business grows your IT needs change. It may mean the
software you use no longer gives you the information you need. Your
hardware could be underpowered for what you require it to do. You
simply may not have the IT skills in house to support your business
and to take you in the direction you want to go.
We can assist you to formulate a strategy that best meets your
IT needs for business growth. We can offer an in depth analysis of
your requirements covering systems, telecommunications and systems
applications.
Our advice is aimed at helping you decide the direction you want
to take your business. Look on us as providing a Chief Information
Officer (CIO) for the day (or as many days as you would like!).
When you meet our team, you will find a mix of extensive IT
knowledge with sound commercial understanding. Together we form a
dynamic core of professional IT consultants providing a full range
of advisory services on the use of information technology in our
clients' business.
Our expertise is based on many years of advising a wide range of
clients and industry sectors. We specialise in advising clients who
prefer to outsource their IT capability, or clients who require
additional or specialised IT expertise.
Selection & Implementation
We provide objective and informed advice on selecting and
implementing the most appropriate hardware and software to support
your business's growth. We take a project-focussed approach and
offer practical and pragmatic guidance.
We can assist in vendor liaison, examining options available and
help you select the best option for meeting your business's
objectives.
System Package Selection
We work with you to identify what you need to run your business
efficiently and effectively. We help you select a system that helps
you grow, not restrict what you want to do.
Our service does not end with identifying the best package, we
can assist with purchasing, implementation and end user training
plus the development of procedures and controls to give you
confidence in the end result.
We are not aligned to any particular software or hardware
suppliers, so our advice is unbiased and our challenge always is to
find the best solution that suits you.
Security Review
We have been investigating the issue of IT security and can
offer a new and unique security service. Traditionally these
security services have been reserved for larger corporate
customers. With new developments in IT and our own methodology,
Staples Rodway Information Technology can offer a service that
challenges your network security and your thoughts on where your
business boundaries lie. We can help you identify where your
security risks lie, so you can minimize or eliminate them.
E-Business
Our advice can help you market your business on line. From
ensuring systems are in place to support e-business, to structuring
the web site architecture needed to make your e-business
happen.
Disaster Recovery Planning
Could your business continue to operate if your entire computer
network or system crashed? We have masterminded some robust plans
to help customers deal with disaster recovery when their computers
fail. We can help you have a sound disaster plan ready and be
prepared to save hassle and lost production and down time. We also
have the experience and skills to assist quickly in rebuilding your
system, restoring data and provide ongoing service.
Infrastructure Services
Poorly designed business can be costly to businesses. Staples
Rodway Information Technology uses proven professional processes,
methodologies, techniques and skills acquired over many years of IT
consulting. We can help deliver well thought out and well planned
network designs. This involves developing detailed plans based
around an organisation's needs and business cases. We can enable
you to implement the changes necessary to bring about these
plans.
Day to Day Support
It is vital to have capable IT people available quickly when
help is needed. With any computer package the quality of
installation and ongoing support is vital to the success of the
system.
Our team has a broad knowledge of IT issues and can offer
support to customers in servicing, desktop, network, server, remote
access, application and system health checks.
Client Management
When investing in IT you need to be able to trust the firm you
are dealing with to make that IT work for you. When assessing your
needs, we become part of your team to fully understand your
business so that you can be confident that the service we offer is
tailored to your goals. Once we have established a relationship, we
like to maintain it, nurture it and enable you to reach full
potential with the help of some clever IT decisions.
IT Strategy
We can help you define how you want IT to support your business
objectives. We can advise you on how you plan your IT development
to take account of future growth of the business. In this way, IT
does not define how you run your business, but how to grow it.
Think beyond the concept of 'how can IT help me run my business
more cost effectively'? Think 'what could I do using IT to grow my
business that I can't do now?

- Project management
- Non financial measurement systems
- Spreadsheet modeling and database design
- Budgeting and projection modeling
- Internet services, including email and web presence
