We recognise that your knowledge of the business enables you to see the whole picture when it comes to the use of technology. Too often that vision is not backed up by the necessary resources to both deal with the day to day and also to move it forwards, testing & implementing emerging IT.

Having many resources available has advantages over a smaller number and is particularly applicable in IT. The value of your IT team is primarily:

• how well they understand your systems
• how their experience will bring relevant new technological solutions to your business

No individual can provide as much in these areas as the right team of people can. We have expertise in a wide range of areas including Microsoft, Cisco, Citrix, Avaya, Nortel, BlackBerry, development work and many more.

Does this replace my existing IT team?

If you have internal staff, there are many ways these can be incorporated into an outsourced solution. A benefit of this is that the management, application and development of these staff can be moved onto the outsourced service provider – allowing you to take advantage of management skill sets that may be unavailable internally.

Aparion are well equipped to be an extension of your IT team, providing you with increased resource, accountability for the support of your systems and a clear division of responsibility to give you and your board confidence that your IT is in good hands.

IT is a significant overhead that needs careful financial management. It is not the capital expenditure that is the real cost, it is the maintenance of systems and the associated Revenue Expenditure that need to be managed.
