The IT Maturity Matrix: Where are you? | Microbyte

Evolving IT Standards

maturity-matrix-mockup

Business is moving faster than ever. It’s easy to think that technology which may have been installed just a few years ago should be perfectly capable of powering and protecting your business.

Unfortunately, this is rarely the case. It is therefore vitally important that we remain aware of all available technologies, in order to provide end users with the security and features they require to keep being productive.

Our approach over the past few years has involved trying to help clients understand where their IT IS and where it COULD BE. To help make this easy, we have taken the opportunity to share our own internal standards library in the form of a MATURITY MATRIX which helps outline our expected standards.

Needless to say the vast majority of our clients are now on our GOLD standard. Why not see what it takes?

Simply send an email to [email protected] with Maturity Matrix in the subject line.
