IT Insight – make sure your IT works for you.

Do you want to make IT work for you and help drive your business forward?

Our Insight Program is a three stage program that will identify the strong and weak points in your IT infrastructure. It gives you the information and opportunity to drive home improvements that ensure your investment is supporting your business.

At the end of the process we will report to your board to explain our findings and to make recommendations about how to improve the network.

We work at all levels by interviewing staff to identify frustrations, a technical audit of the hardware and by getting an insight into your business plan from the board or IT manager.

Ask yourself these questions:

  • Does your IT investment support the aims in your business plan?
  • Do you want to make IT work for you and help drive your business forward?
  • Which devices are critical to your business and what would happen if they went wrong?
  • Are staff telling you the network is slow?
  • Do you know that everything is backed up and that you can recover from disaster?
  • Can the wrong people access your data?
  • Is there an asset list showing how many devices exist and what software is installed?
  • Do you know if you are licensed and compliant?
  • Could a viruses attack your network?
  • What procedures and policies are in place to make sure your staff and getting the most from IT?
  • Do you know how many IT problems have been logged this year, month, week?

If you cant answer all of these easily then our program will definitely give benefit.

Gathering information

We start by meeting with the management team to find out what the IT strategy is for your business and how important you all think it is.
This can be either a board room discussion, or a series of one to one meetings depending on the size of business.

We then extend the process by questioning your staff members and checking that your statements are actually in practice and are truly embedded into daily use.

Sometimes users give conflicting views and this will lead to investigation into a potential problem. This can identify a training need or perhaps a change of process.

Technical review

The process now leads directly to a technical review where we check security, software licensing, vulnerability, asset logging, procedures for logging and resolving IT issues etc.

We check every device by running a software tool and capturing key information. This time is used to check age, performance and capacity of every PC and server.
We will run a network scan to check for hidden equipment, for vulnerabilities and also for general network configuration.

Finally we use our wide experience to spot and predict problems that can’t be measured but experience shows will be there.

Outcomes

At the end of the process we will meet with the board to discuss;

  1. A series of recommendations for what can be done to improve the network , IT systems and procedures.
    This includes technical work, possible training, re allocation of existing equipment etc.
  2. Asset list for all IT hardware.
  3. A comprehensive list of software titles including the quantity installed.
    This helps you make sure you are fully licensed, or can take steps to remove unwanted software.
  4. Recommendations for an on-going IT budget and any equipment you should plan to replace.
  5. A list of critical equipment and any warranties / contracts in place.
  6. A list of all of your IT suppliers with contact details.
  7. Network map showing all equipment with location, network address and user.
  8. Recommendations for IT policies and procedures that are worth implementing.

At the end of the meeting you can use our report to drive improvements through.

What Our Customers Say

  • We spent the last few days desperately installing generators for our clients in Scotland - trying to get ready for the XMAS period amongst strikes and power cuts.
    If only you provided generators, then power would be as reliable as the network you set up for us. That never goes wrong - if a line fails the system automatically connects to the spare line and our customers keep running! Well done.
    You made a real difference to our business, because you stopped us getting a massive surge of calls each time there was a line fault.

  • Hi,

    Hope your week is going well so far.

    We are just about caught up from Friday 😊 I wanted to drop a message to say thank you for jumping on this so quickly last week.

    Your care and attention was greatly appreciated and you certainly made me feel calmer.

    Kind regards, HAYLEY

  • "My company just couldn't cope without you guys, everything is so simple with you around. In fact it seems beyond other suppliers to set up a network so its reliable".

    When we asked why the client simply said "because I just want it to work and you guys are the only people who have been able to get us to that state".

  • Andisa have just completed a design and build project to give us a new network capable of expanding to man racks so that we can expand our streaming monitoring business.

    All I can say about the router they sent us is: it was the smoothest transition I've ever had!

    I have been involved in many upgrades over the years but this build and swap out was faultless. Andisa visited for twice. Once to audit / research and once to install the new kit. They agreed the outcomes at the start of the project, reviewed each day and ultimately delivered exactly what they promised. And as I said, it was the smoothest transition I have ever had!

  • Hi, I just wanted to say a big thankyou to the Andisa team.
    From the moment we told you we were moving office Andisa just helped. Every question got right to the issue and it all meant that the move itself was smooth.

    Once we were moved, Paolo and Tim went round every desk and checked with our team to make sure they were fully operational. Phones, PC's Wifi, Laptops and printers were all 100%. Even the photocopier and franking machine was back on line.

    We cant thank you guys enough.
