#1: GAIN TIME TO FOCUS ON CORE BUSINESS FUNCTIONS
Employees are generally happiest doing what they do best. They get frustrated by distracting tasks that have nothing to do with their essential job functions. Doctors, Lawyers, Accountants, Architects, Engineers, Marketers, Executives, Office Managers and most everyone else are at their best when they focus on their core competencies.

The time and effort spent on figuring out Information Technology, or any other Technology related matter has a very real opportunity cost. Researching solutions, implementing new technology, and fixing IT-related problems are extremely inefficient for non IT professionals. By using our professional Technology consulting company, internal staff is free to spend time focusing on revenue generating opportunities and the business of the business.

#2: TAP ECONOMIES OF SCALE AND PURCHASING POWER:
We achieve greater efficiencies and economies of scale because we have a single focus on our clients needs and we are proficient in what we do. This consolidates purchasing power and gives access to deep and broad knowledge bases. We can therefore deliver better, faster and cheaper technology solutions and services.

Using developed best practices, we simply complete tasks far more efficiently, often to an order of magnitude greater, than small to medium-sized businesses can do on their own. All this translates into real cost savings in terms of both time and money.

#3: REDUCE COST AND CONTROL OPERATING EXPENSES:
Predictable IT costs. The business value of our IT consulting services go well beyond the cost reduction and result in very hard dollar savings. In almost all cases, small to medium-sized businesses will spend 25% to 50% less than the cost of even one in-house mid-level IT professional. Additional cost savings are realized since recruiting, training, vacation, sick days, turnover and other management issues are all taken out of the equation. When utilizing FlatOrb Professional IT consulting service, costs are budgeted, planned, and controlled.

#4: ACCESS HIGHLY SPECIALIZED TALENT:
The complicated nature and rapid change in fields such as legal, accounting, and information technology are best left to the experts; if only due to the sheer amount of effort required to gain even baseline knowledge. The resources of FlatOrb Technologies IT Consulting Services allows small to medium-sized businesses to draw upon specialized expertise that would otherwise be too expensive to develop and maintain in-house. Businesses of this size cannot cost effectively achieve the human scale and flexibility necessary to properly support their technology environments. Even a very experienced and dedicated IT employee has limits to their skills, and limited avenues for help with issues beyond their grasp. Our Professional IT consulting Service offer access to a wide range of IT Specialists that are proficient in many fields and are able to deliver the services efficiently. We possess the IT knowledge needed to provide both on-going and critical support for business networks.

#5: OBTAIN ON-DEMAND RESOURCES:
Many small to medium-sized businesses find themselves with the challenges of growth or at times with the burden of scaling back. Both cases present a genuine human resources dilemma when relying on in-house resources especially when these events are unplanned. These all-too-sudden requirements rarely come in neat 40-hour blocks. A business may need to selectively add or reduce administrative functions, strategic expertise or a combination of both. They need the agility of just-in-time resources for emergencies and the capability to rapidly adjust day to day technology support levels. By utilizing FlatOrb as a Professional Technological Consulting Service, this flexibility comes with ease and without effecting the livelihood or moral of employees.

#6: IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY:
Technology improves productivity by enabling communication, collaboration, and knowledge sharing that allows employees to innovate. These capabilities are delivered through a multitude of technologies including file servers, central databases, broadband connectivity, mobile platforms, email communications, and many other services. However, true productivity and business benefit can only be realized when this complex technology is properly planned, implemented, and maintained. FlatOrb Technologies is highly experienced and well educated on best practices on planning, implementing, and maintaining such systems. Therefore, we are able to successfully deliver these productivity improvements to fit your business the best.

#7: REDUCE DOWNTIME:
Even a few minutes of systems downtime carry enormous business costs. Maximizing uptime must be a high priority. Small to medium-sized businesses can no longer afford issues with internet connectivity, email communications, corrupt data or systems failure. Reacting to these events could be costly. FlatOrb IT consulting and services offer planned, measured approaches to pro-active systems maintenance, security, backup and disaster recovery. Our proactive services coupled with remote systems monitoring and 24/7 response capabilities reduce and often totally eliminate costly downtime.

#8: REALIZE TECHNOLOGY EDGE OVER COMPETITORS:
Take advantage of new technologies that will help your business recognize competitive advantage versus leveling the playing field. Our IT consulting professionals keep up with the latest technologies through ongoing training and real world experience. We know how to implement the latest hardware, software, and network applications available. Just as important, we know which technologies are not worth the investment. The capability of these provides the ability to make rapid moves, helps small to medium-sized businesses speed-up the time to market. This offers a competitive advantage and also increases the ability to react to competitive threats.

#9: ATTRACT AND RETAIN EMPLOYEES:
Employees want to work in an environment where their computers are up and running. Where down time is minimal and the software works like it is supposed to. Employees want to be competitive with their rivals and they want the technology tools that really help them deliver. Employees expect to be up and running with current technology solutions that help then exceed, and not just meet expectations. Those entering the workforce today weigh a company's technology prowess. Utilizing our professional IT consulting service allows small to medium-sized businesses to meet these expectations and increases their ability to attract and retain employees.

#10: ACCESS TO OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE VENDOR SUPPORT:
Access to manufacturers is crucial in effectively supporting complex technology. Technology manufacturers traditionally provide little direct end-user support. When available, this support is basic and often unreliable. This is exceeding frustrating for small to medium-sized businesses that call customer support, but rarely receive it. Through a relationship with our well established professional IT consulting service, small and medium businesses enjoy the benefits of priority access to Microsoft, Cisco and thousands of other technology vendors.
