Business Improvement Review
1The first step of discovery is our complimentary Business Improvement Review, a high-level discussion about how technology currently integrates into your business operations and strategy.
Benefits
Work with a Certified Digital Advisor. When you work with a Certified Digital Advisor, you gain access to an expert with the knowledge and skills to transform your business processes and embed technology into the daily experience of your employees, partners, and customers.
Discover opportunities to integrate technology into your operations and strategy. Modern systems and processes give you a competitive advantage, which outdated ones are often a liability. Automation, the right software, and optimized processes make your team more effective, while convenient online tools and in-office tech attract and retain customers.
Adapt to a changing economic landscape. Cyber threats, regulatory requirements, environmental risks, and remote or hybrid work continue to impact businesses of all types. We’ll look at your security, compliance, business continuity, and remote work readiness, determine how prepared you are, and how you can adapt to remain competitive.
What to expect
This 45-minute meeting is between our Certified Digital Advisor and a key decision-maker that understands your business as a whole. Together, you will rate the IT maturity of your business in three key areas.
- Business capability: Across core functions, are your processes efficient, reliable, and producing their desired outcomes?
- Digital maturity: How well is technology integrated into your operations and strategy?
- Technological capability: Does your current technical infrastructure meet your needs?

We will ask you for specifics about your goals, challenges, and the technology you currently use.

- Hardware: How many servers, desktops, and laptops do you have? What network equipment do you have? Do you own or lease them?
- Software: What operating systems, business applications, and cloud services do you use? Do you have licenses for the software you’re using? If you have multi-user software (e.g. an accounting application like Sage), is the primary installation on a server?
- Backup and recovery: What is your current backup solution and when was it last tested?
- Phone and fax: Are you using digital lines directly from your telecom provider, an on-site PBX, or a cloud-based phone service? Are you using a fax machine or e-fax service?
