Information Technology

<p>Every business has a challenge, be it time, finances or getting systems to do what they should do. Some businesses are smart and find this out early on. They see who they have on their team with the ability, and skills to deal with it. If that is not an option, they look for outside help.</p><p>This is often where I come in to look at issues relating to innovations, digital transformations, CRM, ERP and Websites. You may have so many&nbsp;multiple complex systems that the simplest of tasks that should take no time at all, instead they take for ever and multiple systems are needed to solve these basic issues.&nbsp;</p><p>You may have systems that are difficult to manage, Cyber Security, Privacy and data breach concerns and are not sure where to turn. You may know you need a road map, a strategic plan and digital transformation all because of&nbsp;broken systems or too much time spending on putting out fires to see the forest from the trees. In other words, you cannot to take that real helicopter view of your business or department.</p><p>This is the stuff that should be standard, that stuff that makes your life easier, your employees live easier.</p><p>&nbsp;My first task often involves sitting, listening, and strategizing with all areas of the business to find all of the pain points, warts and all, leaving no stone unturned to&nbsp;find the root causes of issues.&nbsp;Then compile them into recommendations, strategies, and plans.</p><p>You know that you need to change. You know you need to innovate. If not, you know that your business will be left behind. You know that your employee engagement will suffer.&nbsp;<em>But your scared.</em></p><p><em>Scared of the change, scared of the unknowns and the costs.</em></p><p><em>But what about the cost to your business if you do not change?</em></p><p><strong>Many people see innovation as change, and change can be scary.</strong></p><p>So, what happens? They get scared, they do not innovate and end up working&nbsp;<em>in their</em>&nbsp;business not&nbsp;<em>on their</em>&nbsp;business. Moreover, their competitors overtake them and leave you far behind.</p><p>Here at MR &amp; A, we have never seen change, innovation, and improvement like that. We see change as an exciting period for your business, its nothing to be scared about at all. Innovation is about making things better for you, your employees and most importantly your customers, so that you have the edge over your competitors.</p><p>The field of IT changes so quickly that it can be hard to plan a strategy while keeping up with technological advancements, let alone manage what you have already.</p><p>We see this more in the Not for Profit, Charity, Health, Start up and what we term as the &lsquo;giving back&rsquo; sectors,&nbsp;those people, companies and associations, that want to make the world a better place for all.</p><p>Yet without a strategic roadmap built on data-driven insights, your staff can be overworked, spending excessive time putting out &ldquo;technical fires&rdquo; instead of focusing on strategic tasks that comply with core business needs and allow you to grow.</p><p>Not all businesses react fast enough and often for those that do not, are heavily affected by Cyber breaches costing millions to correct and support the PR fallout.</p><p>&nbsp;Organizations crumble due its Roadblocks and outdated technology; software and systems fail at critical times causing business to close or have irreparable harm done.</p><p><strong>What happens?</strong></p><p>&nbsp;<u>They call in help far too late</u>, often where more issues have occurred and&nbsp;they are lost in the stress, the hysteria,&nbsp;&nbsp;and the process of how to get out of the situation.</p><p>Our IT strategy, consulting, and project execution services are the first step toward transforming your businesses enterprise IT and improving your business efficiency.
