IT Assessments
With MDL Technology’s comprehensive approach based on industry best practices, we help you win with IT.
Chances are, your IT environment has developed gradually. Over time, problems can emerge, including performance gaps, redundancies, inefficiencies, and unintended information silos. Eventually, it can be difficult to determine what is and isn’t working. Without the proper perspective, it can be difficult to know where to invest your IT resources.
What exactly is an IT Assessment?
IT Assessment is a comprehensive and thorough review of a company’s environment and technology systems. An effective IT assessment, like the one provided by MDL Technology, will result in a written evaluation and recommendation. IT assessments help organizations like yours, no matter how large or small, get a better return on your IT investment, and, helps keep you winning with IT now and in the future.
MDL Technology developed a comprehensive, no-nonsense Information Technology Assessment (ITA). We conduct a thorough, in-depth review of all of your critical technology areas, evaluate them against best practices, and provide you with a road map to better leverage your IT as a competitive advantage.
Disaster Recovery Planning
A Well-Crafted IT Disaster Recovery Plan Ensures You Are Prepared for Anything
With guidance from our disaster recovery specialists, your customized disaster recovery plan helps you avoid significant loss so your business stays connected and running smoothly.
Studies have shown that for companies that experience a “major loss” of computer records, 43 percent never reopened, 51 percent closed within two years of the loss, and only 6 percent survived over the long-term. Having a well-crafted IT disaster recovery and business continuity strategy grounded in a robust data backup and recovery solution is essential.
Loss of data could mean lost emails, accounting data, patient or client files, company records, or client records. It also means potential loss of revenue.
Our IT Disaster Recovery Consulting Team specializes in helping our customers devise near bulletproof IT Disaster Recovery Plans, so they can have peace of mind that critical systems and processes are safe, and/or can recover from any potential data loss situation.
