Consulting Expertise and ROI Results

With a company’s financial, management, and/or operational software, it is important to consider whether or not your software applications are up-to-date and all of the necessary features are being used to their maximum capabilities. This is the heart of your IT infrastructure, and your business will suffer without the right cogs and wheels working!  You should ask yourself a few basic questions to see if your systems are up-to-date:

• Is there functionality missing that could automate redundant systems and inefficient processes?
• Do you currently use several different software programs for tasks that can be handled by one program’s capabilities?
• Are key features being used optimally?
• Are you working with a subject matter expert to guide you through releases, upgrades, and audits?

If you answer no to these questions, then you are damaging the ROI of your company’s technical investment.

So what can you do?   When you work with SPRYTek, we will review the features within the current software including any recent updates that may be a part of the annual maintenance fee. We may work with you to create a work-flow detailing your organization’s key processes in order to identify those that could be eliminated or automated. In short, our expert consultants will be able to maximize your return on investment.

Sometimes, it is human nature to stick with the “tried and true”…We sometimes embrace new ideas, but cling to the old.  Businesses often keep out-dated practices as a matter of habit. Businesses often hemorrhage money on IT because they continue to upgrade applications when their existing systems are sufficient. An expert consultant will be able to analyze which functions you use daily, determine what can be upgraded and how to use the software to best suit your business.

The current economic climate represents a tremendous opportunity for businesses to reduce their expenses by developing new software solutions, or better using what they have.  Don’t let the money you spend monthly not lead to increased revenue—work with SPRYTek – work with the experts.

How organizations can reduce costs in their Information Technology Departments

Successful businesses know that in order to get ahead they need to take a critical look at their bottom line. The reality of business today is that creative cost-cutting measures, reduction in force and elimination of non-critical functions are all being implemented in companies across the country. Required budget cuts in IT departments are no exception. Financial constraints have IT Directors working hard to focus attention on high-value activities and looking for cost-effective solutions.

Does your organization spend time, resources and money that keep you away from focusing on ROI and getting trapped in a cycle that doesn’t let you move forward?

SPRYTek assists companies in using the resources that they have, such as CRM, Lawson and JD Edwards, but use it more effectively.  For example, are you using the full-functionality of your primary business applications?  The majority of companies only use 65% of an application’s full functionality and then departments create “work-arounds” to address the issues that are not being solved.  We find that more effective utilization of your applications can improve effectiveness by over 15%. By using the applications that you already have—more efficiently, you can save yourself time and money, resulting in more to your bottom line.

Additional training and consultation can help your department function at a higher level, with minimal additional investment. If you are interested in learning how SPRYTek can assist you with maximizing the potential in the applications that your business already uses, and simultaneously cutting operational costs, give us a call at 866-980-7779.
