Information technology is the use of computer systems to store, maintain, apply, protect and share your business information. You're surely aware of how greatly you depend on it for your daily achievements.

IT also involves a detailed understanding of a computer system's inner workings, as well as the cause-and-effect relationships among its many components.

Southgate Tech provides specialized consulting for your business technology and working procedures. We help you make well-informed IT decisions and choices and achieve greater efficiency with your resources and time.

With Southgate Tech consulting, you can properly:

• Analyze an IT system and infrastructure. Is your IT set up the best possible way for performance? The answer can reside in aspects from network switches to password management to data security. A forward-looking plan for hardware upgrades can make a difference as well.
• Identify problems and inefficiencies. Some businesses may use and add procedural layers and steps that aren't needed and that require extra time. Southgate Tech consulting can evaluate your current workflows to determine opportunities for greater productivity.
• Develop timelines for completing projects. If you are planning to install new hardware, software or user stations, for example, it's good to have a blueprint that details phases and times for implementation that meets your expectations and needs.
• Focus on well-designed solutions. Whether software, hardware, apps or use of online tools, each aspect of your technology should bring you closer to your goals.
• Assess security threats. Today's risks to data safety are increasingly sophisticated and malicious. Many businesses are not fully aware of their vulnerabilities. Southgate Tech can identify any current threats you face and advise you on how to protect your data both now and in the future.
• Define and establish best practices. The internal procedures you follow use time and expense. Are you getting the most accomplished in less time for lesser cost? Just a few examples might be onboarding and offboarding of personnel, sequencing of production and managing inventory. Southgate Tech consulting contributes to productive practices.
• Strengthen staff with supporting specialization. At times, a business might need to assign multiple responsibilities — such as operations, accounting and IT — to one department or individual. Other companies might have IT staff that might on occasion benefit from extra expertise. Whatever your situation might be, Southgate Tech can reinforce your ability to enhance your operation's performance and knowledge.
• Choose the right company hardware and software. Some businesses might not be aware their current hardware and software are holding them back. In other cases, they might be considering upgrades but not know if they are making the right choices. We can participate in your meetings to help ensure the you consider the right questions and ideas and understand any potential IT problems related to certain hardware and software.
