Request smartIT Assessment

In the challenging IT world, you are the one charged with keeping your network up and running. Even when you know that your network needs work – and you have the budget to get started – you may not know where to start or how to prioritize.

That’s where a smartIT Assessment from Datamax can assist you. You’ll discover your current assets, how well they are performing, and their exposure to risk.

With a smartIT Assessment, you’ll receive:

• A snapshot of the current state of your network
• A look at real-time performance issues
• Performance benchmarks
• Feedback from end user interviews on how hardware, software and network performance are meeting their needs
• Identification of your hardware and software
• A Visio-generated network diagram
• A summary of current vulnerabilities
• Recommendations for change, based on actual performance metrics of your current environment

The smartIT Assessment is the most comprehensive assessment currently available, based on best practices in the industry. You’ll receive a “Health Score” of your network, which serves as your starting point for future projects and changes.

A smartIT Assessment will determine your current state of readiness in the event of a disaster.

We review your current backup and recovery plan and procedures and how your organization would react to a data loss event, such as human error, hardware failure, or natural disaster.

To gain insight into real end user issues, we conduct interviews with a test group of end users. The questions will address real-world issues they encounter on a daily basis, such as Internet speed, network performance, software-specific issues, issues related to time of day, email issues, etc.

We also provide an evaluation of the current state of the security of your network: your policies, antivirus protection, malware scans, firewall vulnerabilities, Internet usage. As an option, we can provide a comprehensive report of end users’ Internet usage, including social networking and its affect on your network resources.

Has your network been slow recently? You will also receive an assessment of your current available bandwidth - and identify which applications use bandwidth, and the amount they use. If you are experiencing slow responsiveness on your network, this will be valuable information.

Your vulnerabilities and exposure to risks will be documented and you’ll receive recommendation on network security, content viewing and bandwidth management.

After this comprehensive assessment, you’ll have a Go Forward plan - complete with recommendations that work within your budget and your time-line.

And you’ll know where to start with a smartIT Assessment from Datamax.
