Does your company need an IT outsourcing?

In today’s modern business landscape, technology is an essential part of every work environment. It’s not enough to just keep your electronics working — your IT approach should be doing everything possible to support your goals. The big guys know this, and SMBs need to keep up if they want to stay competitive.

Many SMBs get by with their technology, but they struggle to use it strategically. That’s where XL.net comes in.

IT Services Provided by XL.net

Taking advantage of technology to meet business goals is our specialty. At XL.net, we use a wide array of methodologies and strategies to help our clients meet their objectives, whatever those may be. As your go-to for outsourced strategic IT solutions in Chicago, we have a team of qualified individuals to help with all of the steps involved.

Working with XL.net provides you with our wide range of strategic IT methods:

  • Service desk: A service desk offers fast, accurate and friendly assistance that helps employees get the information they need without excessive downtime or a frustrating interaction. It’s an essential part of making everyday operations go smoothly in the modern business landscape.
  • Technology officer: Your technology officer must be aware of all the different technological solutions that exist on the market. They weigh the pros and cons of each approach and consider things like obstacles to technology use, security issues and budgeting concerns as they work with you to discover and implement powerful solutions.
  • Central services: Central services includes everything that keeps the business moving. We separate central services into important, critical and mission-critical aspects. With elements like antivirus, security audits, trainings, patching, remote monitoring and regular backups, we take your security and upkeep seriously and do everything we can to stay on top of them.
  • System analyst: The system analyst is the proactive piece of the puzzle that keeps an eye on everything. This person or team acquires an overarching view of your entire business by reviewing processes and security practices. With this comprehensive viewpoint, they can come up with ways to stabilize your technology access, improve security and establish proper documentation.
  • Project engineer: The project engineer or department helps implement solutions smoothly into your existing operations. They’ll work in any new solutions and keep overall goals in mind based on the scope of each project, with thorough documentation and reasoning. Efficiency and accuracy are key in these steps.

Each of these roles comes together to create one cohesive strategy for meeting your company goals. It requires teamwork and continuous adjustment. Just as the needs of your business will change, a strategic IT approach will need to change with them. It is a long-term plan, not a one-time event.

When we create your technology alignment plan, we’ll talk to your team and come up with a plan that connects your technology with your business goals.

No two businesses are the same, and we make sure your TAP reflects the uniqueness of yours. To do so, we might discuss everyday processes with various employees to learn how they work. We also speak with management to learn more about business goals and how you’re working to reach them. Then, once we have all of the information, we’ll come up with a plan that implements and uses your technology to its greatest potential in reaching those objectives.

Within your technology alignment plan, you’ll find:

  • A current issues list outlining issues that could be holding you back.
  • A quarterly plan that outlines goals you can achieve within 90 days, with success metrics.
  • A one-year plan with larger projects that can benefit your company.
