Technology Audits:

Most companies take the time to audit their financial and administrative functions on a regular basis. However few audit their information technology systems.

The cause of this is primarily due to the short term approach that is too often taken in technology planning. This short term approach often adds up to significant hidden costs with systems that are underutilised and often barely limping along causing inefficiencies, double handling, lost productivity and lowered staff morale.

The technology audit is an evaluation of the IT assets, procedures, policies and controls of your companies IT operations and covers:

      * System Utilisation
      * Tape Backup Review
      * Documentation
      * User ID's and Policies
      * Start-Up Procedure
      * Desktop Audit
      * Power Interruption Protection
      * Software Configuration
      * Communication Links
      * Future Planning
      * Security Assessment
      * Virus Protection
      * Standardization of Equipment

Its aim is to identify the major deficiencies and problems with your system as well as future opportunities.

Without a clear picture it is possible to expend money on hiding problems rather than rectifying the cause.

Properly planned and implemented technology provides competitive advantage, ignored or poorly implemented it can become a business weakness.....  request information
