Gone are the days of simple IT decisions, which could easily match a company’s organizational strategy. Today, IT serves a more complex role in organizations, which has led to much anxiety from top level decision makers and executives.

Many times, it’s easier to focus on the known complexities, such as servers and workstations, than it is to focus on the unknown ones; like how a technology decision can affect the goals of a company. A recent article written by Heinan Landa, titled The IT decisions leaders should worry about (and the ones they shouldn’t), highlighted that “CxOs should be involved in determining that IT is delivering the right information in the right way at the right time to the right people.”

This article goes into detail on six particular points that executives should consider when discussing technology operations:

• Understand how technology helps to run a business
• Know where the business is going in the future, and whether the existing IT infrastructure is ready to support that growth
• Learn the technology of security, disaster recovery and business continuity
• Acquire reliable technology resources available to ensure productivity
• Secure proper training and help desk support
• Confirm successful service capabilities for client and prospect interactions

Many leaders fail to realize that there is an opportunity to outsource to vendors with specialty skill sets in designated areas that they are missing. Doing this decreases time for implementation, keeps overhead costs low, allows internal teams to concentrate on their daily responsibilities, and leaders to focus on their core business.

This is the concept on which SiteREADY was founded. “Companies utilize SiteREADY’s resources to better understand and enhance their business’ technology service model. With our proven track record, and our longstanding relationships, clients can rely on us to handle items on their ever-changing ‘things to worry about’ list,” said Ryan Clarke, SiteREADY’s Managing Principal.‍
