Solutions for your Business

What are your top business challenges?

Does your technology help you reach your strategic business goals? Or does your current technology only create more problems?

Our experience has yielded six critical functions that companies need to focus on to ensure cohesive, effective technology solutions:

These functions are interrelated, so businesses need to have all six in place to operate effectively. Any decisions on any of these pieces could affect any of the others, so it is important to keep them all in mind when adding or upgrading systems.

Clifton Gunderson can help make sure every technology decision you make works the most effectively with your existing technology and will avoid any negative impact on the pieces you already have in place.

Deliver Applications

In the past, if a company wanted to have the best technology, it would throw money at better hardware, systems, and people to maintain them. As system needs and technologies continue to grow and update, this method of thinking has become less cost-effective and less able to adapt to new application demands.

Dealing with this changing landscape requires a change of mindset, focusing on delivering applications between a data center and users. It involves controlling the delivery network with virtualization, optimization, and streaming, rather than continuously upgrading and maintaining existing applications and hardware.

Our experts can help you understand how this shift can help your business become more flexible and adaptable, ensuring your employees receive secure access, your traffic is optimized, and you have the ability to monitor the end-user experience.

Secure the Network

Your company's data is one of your most important assets. Protecting that data is crucial, especially in today's environment, where the number and severity of threats has increased dramatically.

On the flip side, the need for network access has also increased as clients, business partners, and other external parties are collaborating now more than ever. This need for real-time information can pose significant threats to your company's systems and critical data.

The best method for defending your data is to implement a solution that provides multiple layers of security, protecting both the perimeter and the core of your network. The experts at Clifton Gunderson Technology Solutions understand how to design a complete solution that addresses and protects all areas that could be negatively impacted.

Manage Network Resources

Studies have shown IT staff spends 60 percent of their time maintaining hardware and applications, leaving only a third of their time to spend on strategic project work.

Your IT staff is limited, yet you are expected to effectively manage distributed applications for multiple users, on many different devices, and across many locations. This ever-increasing complexity pulls your valuable time and personnel resources away from project work and forces them to focus on maintaining networks and applications.

The engineering staff at Clifton Gunderson Technology Solutions is constantly looking for new tools to help drive down the time our clients spend on maintenance, allowing you to increase the amount of time available for strategic project work.

Manage Content

The amount of content companies are required to manage and maintain has grown exponentially over the past few years and will continue to do so.

Optimize Business Software

Businesses today run on applications, which makes selecting the right mix of business software essential to your success.

When considering which solutions fit your business's needs, it is important to look at how well the application will integrate with existing software, as well as the level of complexity and the ability to provide support.

Clifton Gunderson Technology Solutions has a business software team dedicated to providing assistance with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software selection and implementation. You may also be assisted by our infrastructure team, which is experienced in standard office applications. We work to provide an over-arching solution that will help ensure all your software will be fully integrated, rather than having several programs and project-based documents spread across your company. You gain efficiency and the ability to move quickly – tools for your future success.
