Adapting to Your Company's Growing IT Needs

Consistent company growth introduces a combination of exciting opportunities and significant challenges that must be addressed. For example, internal IT teams of thriving businesses often struggle to keep pace with the ever-growing number of employees, work processes and security threats demanding their attention, resulting in overworked staff, business downtime and insufficient Information Technology support for customers and employees. In more severe cases, IT staff can become so overwhelmed by their expanding list of duties that they overlook important cybersecurity systems, allowing cybercriminals to access your network and manipulate or steal sensitive online data. Put simply, in order to protect your business and keep it on a steady course toward success, it’s absolutely critical to ensure that your IT department is capable of scaling and adjusting to meet its growing technology needs for the foreseeable future.

Thriveon is a family owned IT managed services provider located in Minnesota. Our mission is to empower small to mid-sized companies across the state by providing them all of the tools and support needed to create business success through a unique combination of unrivaled IT leadership and management. We also understand full well how challenging it can be to develop an IT framework that can continuously meet the demands of your business for a consistent and reasonable price. Today, we’ll walk you through a few simple and effective ways to predict and adapt to your company’s constantly changing IT needs.

1. Establish IT Leadership

Considering how quickly the field of Information Technology shifts and evolves, it’s almost impossible to anticipate your company’s upcoming IT requirements without the help of an experienced industry expert. That’s where Virtual Chief Information Officers (VCIOs) come in. A VCIO is a seasoned IT professional that collaborates and advises a business’s IT department. VCIOs are responsible for organizing IT budget, developing strategic IT goals, evaluating and reworking business processes and overseeing technology changes. And while a VCIO’s primary duties involve improvement and maintenance of your business’s IT infrastructure, they can also provide exceptional leadership services. For example, here at Thriveon, the VCIOs we provide for clients have extensive experience with creating technology roadmaps, essential documents that lay out which new practices and technology tools the business should invest in over the course of the coming months to keep all Information Technology processes in top form. Above all else, VCIOs are a massive boon for companies that need help with business/IT alignment to maximize ROI and avoiding being burned by bad IT investments.

2. Utilize IT Strategy

Many businesses underestimate the incredible value of IT strategy, a series of personalized principles and tactics used to guide all decision making pertaining to technology. An effective IT strategy allows your organization to foresee and prepare for changes in the IT landscape, pushing IT out of your overhead and transforming it into a key contributor to company growth and success. Perhaps most importantly, this plan of action demands interactions between each department of your company to pin down their specific goals, meaning that creation of an IT strategy can foster collaboration and consolidation throughout your organization, driving your team towards the achievement of its long and short-term goals. Fortunately, you don’t need to be a seasoned Information Technology veteran to devise a brilliant IT strategy that enhances the value your business can provide to customers, employees and stakeholders alike. All you need to do is follow the seven core steps in this quick start guide to IT strategy.
