Learn about ICS
Founded in 1994 by Steve Gerbino, Innovative Computer Systems is
a full service Information Technology (IT) provider specializing in the
Small-to-Midsize Business (SMB) arena. We work diligently to understand the
technology requirements of our client's businesses which include leaders in
the area of Healthcare, Law, For Profit Education, and many other
best-of-breed SMBs.To win their
business, we needed to design, implement, and maintain the smartest and most
practical technology infrastructure possible. We also needed to understand
their requirements for EHR (Electronic Medical and Practice Management
Records), Student Lifecycle Management, Customer Relationship Management and
the myriad of other management systems needed for them to stay competitive
or to meet regulatory requirements.
With their limited resources, SMBs should be
making extensive use of established outsourcing service providers. One
reason they may not be doing so is because many large service providers do
not understand how to work with SMBs. They often take the same approach for
large and small companies when offering their services. SMBs typically do
not have the time or resources to deal with the level of detail that is
asked for or to negotiate complex deals. Many SMBs do not understand how to
state their requirements, evaluate external sourcing proposals, find and
qualify vendors or market external services to the stakeholders inside their
companies. Therefore, both SMBs and service providers need to learn how to
find each other and do business together. That is why the ICS business model
is specifically organized to solve SMB technology needs at reasonable cost.
The benefits that can be achieved are undeniable for both.
To meet the mutually beneficial goal, our
executive team, with over a century of combined technology and management
experience, ensures that Innovative Computer Systems is staffed with experts
in all aspects of today's cutting-edge technology including: Server &
Applications Software, PC and MAC Workstations, E-mail, Unified Messaging,
Faxing, Firewalls, Routers, Switches, Peripherals, Voice & Data Cabling, and
VOIP & PBX Telephony Systems.
We know that just simply following
established Best Practices for your IT needs requires years of experience
that are expensive to build from square one and not attainable by the
majority of SMBs. However, they are readily available from the right service
provider. Just think about the laundry list of topics involved for large
organizations:
IT MANAGEMENT BEST PRACTICES
- Technology Adoption, ROI, and TCO Trends
- Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Software
- Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
- Software Business Intelligence (BI) Software
- Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)
- Desktop Virtualization
- Voice over IP (VoIP)
- Unified Communications
- Social Networking
- Green IT Initiatives
IT MANAGEMENT BEST PRACTICES ADOPTION TRENDS
- IT Steering Committee
- IT Change Control Board
- IT Balanced Scorecard
- Benchmarking IT Spending and Staffing
- IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL)
- Project Management Office (PMO)
- IT Security Policy Compliance
- Disaster Recovery Plan
- IT Staff Telecommuting
Can the SMB owner run their core business
and pay proper attention to all of the above as well? Maybe the better
alternative is to allow ICS to "Work your Technology So You Can Work
Your Business".
In addition to world-class infrastructure
support, Innovative Computer Systems' developers create custom applications
to meet client needs when off the shelf software can't provide enough usable
information. Our web designers can create an internet presence to help your
organization tap into the limitless market of potential customers on the
World Wide Web.
I think you can see that Innovative Computer
Systems has a different business model from the one typically used by many
of our SMB IT Service Provider competitors. We are not in the “hope it
breaks so we can fix it again” IT business. That model does not engineer for
stability nor does it find profitability in looking for root causes. It only
fixes symptoms. We think you understand what that means from the overall
technical health of your business standpoint. Instead, we offer an all
inclusive service model.
We provide a team of technical experts to
liaison with your Enterprise Application Suppliers answer all of your
helpdesk questions, monitor your network in real time, perform monthly
health checks on your key infrastructure components and servers, and repair
or replace all of your covered equipment at a fixed monthly cost. The entire
IT solution for day-to-day support can be provided at a set run rate. You'll
have a team of experts at a fraction of the cost of internal staffing and
ICS will simplify and bring common sense reasoning to all of this while
providing reasonable, cost effective Best Practices to the SMB community. It's what we've done for
almost 2 decades now. |
