THINKING IS THE BEST WAY TO TRAVEL

They say that in a competitive world you have to run hard just to stand still. That may be so, but to really get ahead you sometimes have to stop and think.

Information technology is no longer a luxury, it's a necessity for business success. Quite simply, you can't hope to compete without it. But it's not enough to just provide ad hoc responses to problems as they arise. You need to plan ahead and draw up an IT strategy that will allow you to meet forthcoming challenges and deliver tangible benefits to your business. And when it comes to doing just that, you could not wish for a better thinking partner than FTT.

FLEXIBLE THINKING TO MEET EVERY NEED

At FTT we are not in the business of selling off-the-shelf solutions. One size does not fit all. The aims and the needs of a brand new business are likely to be very different from those of an established company who are looking to build on already solid foundations. Wherever you are now, and wherever you want to be in the future, we'll evaluate your business plan and help you develop the IT strategy that will help you get where you're going with the minimum of delay.

The process starts with a free initial consultation with one of our senior managers. Using the information gathered at that meeting, we can then move on to making recommendations about how IT can increase your efficiency and reduce your costs.

A TOTAL SOLUTION NOT A PARTIAL ONE

It's important to develop the overview of where your IT is going, even if you can't afford all the elements right now. We'll help you forecast accurately so that you know when to introduce each new element and can budget for it in advance. This understanding of the broader picture will help you keep your business on track and driving onwards.

EVERY ANGLE CAREFULLY CONSIDERED

In drawing up your IT strategy we'll consider many factors, including all of the following and more.
Data Protection Act

The Data Protection Act of 1984 is designed to safeguard information you keep about individuals. You may need to register under the Act.

FAST - Federation Against Software Theft

All Company Directors and Senior Managers are personally liable for ensuring that all software used is legal. We'll steer you through the compliance procedures and avoid any possible pitfalls.

Disaster Recovery

Imagine how badly your business would be hurt if your computer system should fail. We'll help you implement and test a simple and effective Disaster Recovery plan to deal with this eventuality.

Security

Whatever level of security you need to protect your data, your software and your hardware from loss or abuse, we can provide it. We could get technical at this point, but you'd probably fall asleep. Enough said.

Regular hardware and software upgrades

In IT, what's new today is antique in three years time. It's therefore essential to build regular upgrades into your IT strategy.

Regular review of needs

Investment in technology should be regularly reviewed in the light of current and future requirements and the ongoing development of new IT products.

E-Commerce and all things Internet-related

If you choose to ignore the opportunities presented by the Internet, you will do so at your peril. Your competitors won't ignore them. It's as simple as that.
