From the very first contact, you will begin to realize the unique level of customer care your local VentureTech Network Authorized Solutions Integrator is accustomed to delivering.

As standard procedure, they will begin with a Technology Assessment Profile (TAP) to identify the right technology solutions for your specific challenges and requirements. VentureTech Network members use this analytical tool to examine your company's hardware, software, tools and databases using sophisticated assessment procedures, all with an eye towards leveraging existing systems and databases.

How much do you really know about the systems that keep your company functioning?

A TAP assessment answers questions like: What are the applications most critical to your businesses operations? How are your competitors using technology to compete? Which data-storage systems will safeguard your information? Should your systems be linked together on a cabled network or via an Intranet? How can existing networks be tied into Intranet and Internet applications?

The twin realities of shorter lifecycles, and the fact that few technologies remain unique for long, have resulted in the need for ongoing management and support as an integral part of your technology system. In contrast to their state-of-the-are professional skills, VentureTech Network members supply a level of involvement that hearkens back to the days when doctors made house calls.

VentureTech Network Authorized Solutions Integrators are a local resource, not someone thousands of miles away in an anonymous call-in center. They guarantee clients four-hour call back and 24-hour on-site service.

Most importantly, VentureTech Network members actively work to help your customers get a better return on their systems investments. With most systems' expenses occurring post-sale, VentureTech Network's exclusive Lifecycle Management will oversee the performance, interoperability and Total Cost of Ownership of their systems.

Bottom line, this level of care results in small to midsize businesses having more self-sustainable and flexible systems that are competitive today, with a clear, open path to the future.
