UltimateIT™ Savings Unveiled
More and more companies each year are hiring full and part time professionals, often at staggering salaries. This is great for businesses that can’t afford to hire a fulltime or part time employee and pay the salaries, benefits and training to keep these highly valuable technology resources in shape with our ever-changing and increasingly technology driven world.
What about the companies that can’t afford to hire IT staff?
Welcome to a concept that is changing the way you pay for your technology service needs…Ultimate IT™!
What is it?
Ultimate IT™ is an improved and innovative technology concept to the Midwest. It focuses on improving the average IT Department or break/fix service provider. Ultimate IT™ offers enterprise class technical services to companies that couldn’t normally afford the IT staff required to maintain their network, keep security in check, manage users, continually update equipment and stay on top of training as things change at the speed of light.
In addition to gaining all the support of a traditional IT professional or network administrator, Ultimate IT™ adds some key benefits and features not provided by the traditional IT professional or even an outside IT service provider. Some of these additional benefits and features are:
• Know the state of your network, the number of service requests made and resolved, the response time of the technicians, measurable downtime and comparisons to previous months with the monthly Executive Summaries.
• Keep peace of mind knowing that your IT professional, Ignus Technologies is always aware of the state of your network, seeing what errors appear in the event logs, backup logs, and security logs, and even knowing the efficiency and specifications of technology hardware on your network with real-time Monitoring Services.
• Employees no longer have to remind or wait to tell the IT professional or company of the problems or issues they are having and can expect a response time within 4 hours and often times a same day resolution with Ignus’ Trouble Ticketing System.
• Companies no longer have to sweat financial impacts of spur-of-the-moment IT crashes or upgrades with comprehensive annual Budget Planning.
• Networks don’t have to fail or become slow and can remain safe and secure while keeping up on upgrades and additions to the network by following an 18 step pre-budgeted plan exclusive to Ignus Technologies with “Plan IT ™” - Network Planning.

(Either way, they are great features to have at your disposal!)
Ultimately Cost Effective.
Sounds great! How can I afford it?
You can’t afford not to! 86% of all companies that lose their company’s crucial business data go out of business within one year and the others pay hundreds, thousands, and even millions to get it restored or to start over. Many each year also get attacked causing downtime, broken software, and money to restore them to normal. Companies blindly allow their technology to manage itself or even manage them with costly downtime, slow machines or networks, “workarounds”, and even sub par “computer people”. In fact, in order for a company to keep technology limping along with little or no knowledge of the future, many companies hire IT professionals or network administrators. A great number also trust a break/fix computer repair company to maintain their most critical business assets. This option will work for a while, but what if you want to grow, expand, and diversify? However theses options all cost money, and when you add it all up the cost on a monthly and annual basis will shock you.
IT Cost Reality
I’ll hire my own IT professional. I’m sure I’ll save money in the long run, right?
Not necessarily… IT is one of the most in demand professions and they are paid well for their services. A certified professional with benefits, vacation and training can cost a company as much as a low level executive. This kind of salary can be very painful on a company with a handful of employees and a part-time person may not be enough at times and may become an expense during other times. Medium sized businesses also struggle with this when they have less than enough employees to hire an IT professional, but need steady support. In addition to costly salaries, training costs add up quickly. Plus you have no guarantees that you will get a qualified professional and that if they are good, there are no guarantees that they will stay. All I have to worry about is the salary; they were trained in college or technical school, right? True, the average graduate with a two or four-year degree does have many hours of practical knowledge, but nothing is a substitute for experience. With experience comes additional cost and even the most experienced professional requires hours of continuing education to keep up on new products, services and security threats. Also, technology changes so quickly that a degree as little as a couple years old may not mean much today.
