The success and performance of your business does not depend solely on one factor, however having proper optimisation of your IT systems and infrastructure allows your company to achieve more efficient results. It also provides the comfort of knowing that the appropriate security parameters are in place to protect the network and backup your data. In this article, we will explain the benefits of carrying out an IT health review service in your organisation.
IT Health Check
Through our IT Health check service, our experts can evaluate your systems and infrastructure to determine if they are configured correctly. The first step is to perform a complete diagnostic review to ensure that your mix of hardware, software, networking, security, and technology is appropriately optimised and secured.
When any of the elements in your IT infrastructure don’t comply with the required current configurations, all of your company’s systems can potentially be an attack vector, increasing the likelihood of failures in your business operations. This not only affects the functioning of the current systems, but also exposes your wider network to serious security risks.
In short, your company’s productivity and the security of your systems could be compromised if you do not have proper optimisation and security in place for your IT infrastructure.
How Does Asta Perform an IT Health Check?
Our experience of more than two decades in the IT industry has allowed Asta to develop a customised and thorough IT review process. With our highly trained and certified specialists, we can conduct the necessary procedures and testing to resolve problems in any IT infrastructure.
It does not matter if your organisation is small or large, Asta can provide customised plans that are adapted to any type of business architecture, with the aim of guaranteeing an accurate diagnosis and providing you with access to this service.
The first step involves assessing the cybersecurity, speed, accessibility, and interoperability of your information-gathering systems with a Discovery Audit. Once our technicians have obtained this data, they will prepare an accurate analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of your business infrastructure.
Once the analysis is complete, we will present you with a report with our recommendations and a roadmap to follow to optimise your workflow and secure your IT infrastructure.
Stages of the IT Health Check Procedure
Our complete IT Health Check procedure consists of 3 stages, through which we can carry out an adequate analysis of the problems and optimisations necessary for your existing IT infrastructure:
- Stage 1: Discovery and Audit
- Stage 2: Review and Analysis
- Stage 3: Recommendations with Roadmap
Stage 1: Discovery and Audit
The first stage is to conduct a thorough analysis and audit of your entire IT infrastructure to evaluate potential issues and areas for optimisation. In this phase, we will review your hardware, software, network infrastructure, and cloud infrastructure (if you have it) to understand how it is currently functioning. We will also evaluate your technical specifications and perform security monitoring to identify potential failure points that need to be hardened. As an additional step, we will review the protection of sensitive data and evaluate a disaster data recovery plan.
By collecting this data, we will be able to develop a strategic business continuity plan customised to your business.
Stage 2: Review and Analysis
Once we have collected all the required information about your IT infrastructure, we will review and analyse it comprehensively. Our technicians, who are specialised and certified in specific technologies, will carefully review all the data collected to develop the corresponding plans and solutions as required.
This analysis will allow us to prepare an accurate report to assess and fix current issues as well as having a plan for potential issues in the future. Through this review, we will provide you with customised results which include strategic considerations to optimise your company’s operational processes and secure the network and data.
Stage 3: Recommendations with Roadmap
Thanks to the information obtained in the first stage, and its subsequent analysis in stage two, we will prepare a report with our recommendations and the next steps that you should take. You will be empowered with the knowledge, and exact status of your current IT infrastructure, and provided with the next steps to comprehensively resolve any current network-related issues.
Our recommendations report will provide you with the information necessary to optimise and secure your company’s network and take advantage of the technologies your company has available or provide suggestions as to what technologies should be considered to mitigate any issues.
You can take that report away and use your internal team to complete the suggestions, or you can engage Asta as an external partner to perform these tasks as well. There is no “lock in” feature with this process.
At Asta, we focus on ensuring your business systems, data and people are safe and secure.
