Houston Managed IT services range from Cybersecurity strategies to business-specific Cybersecurity Compliance, Corporate Computer Solutions, and comprehensive IT Support As a premier Houston IT consulting company and Managed Service Provider, AVATAR Managed Services offers a range of services to support clients across a wide range of industry sectors. Some challenges are unique to particular industry sectors while other challenges are common across nearly all IT systems. Looking into various industry sectors in more depth, a representative from AVATAR Managed Services comments on information technology for the construction industry in particular, a sector where many construction companies are moving away from traditional records toward a paperless environment: “Keeping construction projects on track is a demanding process that requires coordination between architects, project managers, contractors, suppliers, and customers. With more firms moving away from paper, that means they’re moving towards technology – and you need to make sure you have the right solutions that help you stay on schedule and competitive. That’s where AVATAR delivers. We have in-depth knowledge of the IT systems that construction firms rely on, and we’ll implement solutions that provide the flexibility, reliability, and security your employees and customers demand.” Fostering a proactive IT strategy helps stay ahead of changes, being ready to embrace new technology and new platforms as they become available, with intentional shifts being planned on a roadmap rather than reactive changes being forced as technology or infrastructure becomes outdated and unsupported. As Houston cybersecurity solution providers, AVATAR understands that each company has a different baseline when comparing the current state of IT health to the future state which may require proof of cybersecurity compliance. By assessing and prioritizing a set of many key indicators that can be measured, a plan can be developed to focus on the areas that are deemed most important, helping to manage a more predictable IT spend alongside improved risk management and return on investment. It may be that changes cannot all be implemented immediately, and a roadmap of staggered changes will detail the gradual improvements to be made over time. This may be necessitated by resource constraints, budget constraints, general logistics and considerations around business locations, or the need to develop new processes, document them fully, and then train staff to follow new procedures. Houston Managed Service Providers have insights into the availability and pricing of IT solutions, with a sensible approach being to adopt a plan that will be viable months or years into the future. When circumstances change, it may be necessary to pivot to a new plan, so regular reviews of the roadmap are essential. Communicating any changes in target dates, project scope or budget expenditure to key stakeholders should follow each review.
