There are many ways in which an out-of-house consulting organization, like SiO2, can benefit almost any organization of any size. We are not here to replace your IT department. Most IT departments are already doing an excellent job. But, with finite resources and the huge responsibility of keeping all of your users and servers up-and-running 24/7, some critical big-picture items often fall between the cracks. That's where SiO2 can make a big difference for your organization and your IT department:

• Strategic Information Planning SiO2 can help you develop a long-term, secure information strategy to take advantage of today's rapidly evolving technologies without interrupting the ongoing operations of your company or organization. Planning your information future allows for proper resource allocation and avoidance of downtime, resulting not only in a successful information strategy, but saving valuable resources and time. Failure is expensive.
  
  
• Burst-Mode Availability There are times when every IT department needs to find, create or integrate new software or other technologies above and beyond their normal workload. Instead of expanding your IT department, SiO2 can handle the excess load for you.
  
  
• Major Transitions Have you considered moving to The Cloud? SiO2 can analyze your business and determine if moving some or all of your data to remote-hosted servers in The Cloud will be cost-effective. If it is, and you decide to move to The Cloud, an expert consultant, like SiO2, can pave the way with proven, secure technologies that ensure a predictable and dramatic ROI while providing custom Web-based software to access your remote data. The scope of such a changeover can severely tax any IT department. SiO2 can make the transition smooth and transparent.
  
  
• Custom Software Most IT departments can generate a certain amount of custom software for the organization. But there are times when major software development is required as no pre-built solution is available or new technologies need to be exploited. Trial-and-error is expensive. Expert development by experienced and knowledgeable architects and programmers can often save significant investment by providing working solutions the first time out.
  
  
• Unbiased Solutions SiO2 has no turf to protect, no job security to concern us, so we are able to deliver our best suggestions and services with only the welfare of the organization and its information needs in mind.
  
  
• World-Class Experts SiO2's people are world-class professionals who have worked with or partnered with the top software companies of the last few decades. We have access to many of the people who created the products we recommend and industry-wide-contacts in almost every discipline required to create and maintain a world-class information environment.
  

SiO2 can provide all these services, and more, at a predictable cost with predictable world-class results. Our Professional Consulting Services can, and will, relieve the pressure on your IT department as you move into the newest and most cost-effective technologies and provide you with the bandwidth to develop and implement software solutions that are dependable, forward-looking and based on industry standards.
