The secret to having a reliable and well integrated computer network is about having an overall vision or as we call it at Excelan “a network model”. The network model forms a template that guides product selection, correct configuration and ongoing management.

Success comes from harnessing local knowledge and applying technical expertise. And it all has to be done with good communication and a concern for the impacts on your business. It's not rocket science but for many businesses finding such a solution can become a recurring frustration.

Peace of mind comes from being able to focus on the business solutions you need tomorrow instead of being always stuck on the problems of today.

Imagine being able to focus on doing business without having to worry about whether the backups are really working or if the hard disks are nearly full or what other surprises your computers are waiting to spring on you.

Many IT support companies send out engineers on demand and focus on fixing things only when they're broken. Break-fix alone does not work. Merely treating symptoms does not give your system the overall health that is going to deliver the business outcomes you need.

Firstly you need to ensure that somebody internal to your organisation is given overall ownership of the IT issue. Maybe it's you or maybe it's a role that needs to be delegated. You can outsource expertise and the routine chores but you need to ensure that appropriate decision making authority and a central point of overall accountability remains in-house.

You then need to empower this staff member by engaging a business partner who has the necessary technical expertise and who will develop the relevant familiarity with your site to be able to bring solutions to the table.

To truly optimise your computer network you need a proactive system of management that incorporates somebody who knows about how your site works and not just about a particular technology.

Technical expertise is not enough. You want a partner who is going to empower you and your staff by building within your business the knowledge necessary to consistently make informed choices. You want a partner that delivers proven solutions that reach beyond the problems of the moment to create lasting success.
