IT Budgeting and Roadmap

Proper budgeting is essential to keep your business running profitably for the long haul. Creating an IT Budget and Roadmap is a difficult task. Most executives and managers don’t fully understand the details behind technology budgets and are uncomfortable trying to justify these figures. This typically leads to merely tweaking the previous year's budget, but this looking backward cannot drive your company forward. To help our clients create a valuable budget and use it as a strategic tool to drive company priorities, Garner IT is here to make this critical process painless, as well as help you use the budget and roadmap as a planning and communication tool.

Standard Operating Procedures

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are processes put in place to ensure everything in your company works as well as possible. Whether you've formally defined them or not, every company has SOPs. SOPs are just the way you do something, but that "something" is well documented and communicated to ensure consistent, reliable results. For growing companies, SOPs are essential. Garner IT Consulting believes in the famous book from Michael Gerber called E-Myth, and continue to implement SOPs internally to ensure our company’s growth and success. Whether it’s the creation of new SOPs or revamping and merging existing SOPs, our team provides the experience you need to be successful.

Virtual CIO
