Augment means to make something greater by adding to it.
Wouldn't it be great to increase the skill sets and
experience of your IT team without adding a single person
to your staff?
Like you, many of our customers struggle with trying to get
initiatives and projects done with limited resources and
budget. The cost to hire someone full time far outweighs
the benefits of getting unplanned and sporadic (and
sometimes emergency) initiatives completed. No one can
afford to have these resources idle during slow periods.
Instead of searching for, interviewing, hiring, training,
and paying for the overhead of a seldom or rarely used
expert for a specific skill set, it may be easier to
augment your existing staff with a team from an outside
organization, or "Outsource."
I am sure that everyone has heard of Outsourcing and the
pitfalls associated with it. Square One's model of
"Co-sourcing" gives you all of the benefits of outsourcing
with none of the pitfalls.
With co-sourcing, we work with your existing technology
staff (or non-technical staff) on projects where you don't
have in-house expertise. Co-sourcing offers you the
flexibility to increase staff during busy projects or
handle projects that you don't have trained personnel for
without losing control of your department.
Interested in Outsourcing but not interested in losing
control over your business? Square allows you to augment
your existing staff with highly trained professionals to
work on projects such as security, data management or
network optimization. We can also provide routine
assistance to in-house staff during peak period activity or
if special expertise is required for a specific initiative.
If you don't need full time IT staff for limited projects,
co-source with Square One. We partner with the best in the
industry to reduce your costs, improve quality and complete
your work on time and under budget. Square One can provide
these services on a proactive routine basis, per project or
on an hourly time & materials basis. We try to make it
more flexible and easy to work with us.
Call us for proactive maintenance services, project work,
upgrades, new implementations, migrations or other project
work. We can provide regularly scheduled visits for
preventative maintenance such as analyzing firewall logs,
updating server patches, software updates, and performing
test recoveries for back-up. Square One can provide a
customized agreement for daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly
on-site and remote visits as well as Statements of Work for
specific projects.
