IT Consulting & Project Management

OUR PROJECT MANAGEMENT TEAM DELIVERS ON TIME & WITHIN BUDGET

We work closely with you up-front to plan out your overall IT strategy so that all project work supports the overall direction. Your plan will define the target end state for your IT environment and outline the implementation tasks, timelines, and budgets to close any gaps. Any additional projects that we undertake over time will also map into your over-arching IT plan so that the business objectives and overall requirements are well understood. Along the way, you will be supported by a team of project managers and staff who check in and report out weekly, keeping your plans and any impact on the overall IT roadmap up to date as your business grows.

Planning your IT Strategy & Roadmap

When it comes to technology projects, it seems like there’s always a moving deadline – and it’s never in the direction you want it to be going. Strategic IT decisions take training and IT know-how, yet the top two reasons IT projects fail are lack of confidence and confusion. Whether your needs are modernizing existing infrastructure and applications or implementing new systems, if you want to complete IT projects on time and within budget, consider teaming up with Avatar.

IT Project Management

Whether we’re updating your current infrastructure or deploying new systems and applications, we will assign a project lead that is responsible for executing each project on time and according to budget. We’ll provide you with daily and weekly reporting that outlines key tasks performed, issues, and any items needing approval for implementation. As your organization grows and becomes more complex, our team will be right there with you to handle each detail, so you can continue to focus on your business.

Your vCIO

Large enterprises have Chief Information Officers who are executive-level team members and bridge the gap between corporate business goals and IT systems. Smaller growth-stage businesses have the same need but generally can’t afford such an executive role. The role falls typically to internal staff who may not be IT experts but must take time away from managing the business.

As part of the Avatar Advantage, we will assign a virtual CIO to your company who brings business management experience along with technical knowledge. While the Avatar team provides proactive management and support, your vCIO will be your single point of contact for planning, program oversight, and ensuring that everything we do supports your business objectives.
