Why SSGC Makes Sense for Small Businesses

SSGC's staff size, breadth and depth of technical expertise, and familiarity with enterprise IT allow small businesses to avoid the pitfalls associated with excessive reliance on smaller service organizations or independent freelance consultants.

Working with SSGC allows your small business to:

• Avoid Dependence on Individual Freelance Consultants.

  • For IT support small businesses often rely heavily on independent freelance consultants. Although freelance consultants carry less overhead than larger support organizations and can afford to charge marginally less, they are often stretched too thin to respond quickly to urgent situations. If an independent consultant is busy with another client, sick, on vacation or in training, the lack of backup personnel may force your business to wait for help during an emergency. As your small business grows, network downtime or problems with critical applications become more costly. The money you thought you were saving on a freelancer can be eaten up quickly by lost productivity.
     

• Have Access to Expertise in Complex IT Solutions.

  • Many small service organizations or freelance consultants focused on small business IT support may excel at providing "connect-the-dots" solutions but lack the experience to deal cost-effectively with complex IT infrastructures with features such as multi-office connectivity, VPNs, mobile workforces, telecommuter support, integrated financial and operational applications, eCommerce, and custom software. SSGC's enterprise experience can be valuable to your small business because enterprise environments are inherently complex, integration issues require in-depth knowledge in many IT disciplines, and achieving a high level of stability, reliability and security requires enterprise-proven best practices.
     

• Build a Solid Foundation for Seamless Growth.

  • Small businesses often start with an IT system implemented on a shoestring budget. Lacking a proper foundation, a series of band-aid fixes often get piled on top of a weak foundation. As a business grows, stability and scalability issues can hinder the success of the organization. Such environments need proper assessment, intelligent strategic planning, and broad-based expertise to upgrade to an IT infrastructure that will provide the solid foundation to meet critical business needs and ease future growth.
     

• Work with Solution Providers, Not Product Resellers.

  • Small businesses require guidance and education to navigate through an increasingly complex maze of technology options available for accelerating business growth and improving efficiency. They do not need an IT consultant who is trying to sell them a product. SSGC avoids conflicts of interest by not selling any products. This allows SSGC to align technical expertise with the best interests of clients. IT consulting and product selling can lead to a situation where the proposed solution is built around a predetermined technology rather than the genuine needs of a small business.
