IT Projects
ABL can assist you with any IT project you have. Many businesses hit road blocks and pot holes as they try to steer down the sometimes bumpy road of IT. By choosing ABL to manage your IT projects, we can keep the project on time and within budget, while not merely meeting but exceeding your expectations. We take a three-tiered approach to all projects, regardless of their size.
Project management is a three tiered process:
Planning:
Often overlooked, this is the most critical stage in project management. Proper planning involves defining the business goals and objectives of the project. This is the point where both preliminary budget and timelines for execution are determined.Analysis:
This is the gathering stage we obtain all necessary information, involve all parties, assess the IT infrastructure, and finalize both the timeline and budget.Execution:
This is the stage where we complete implementing the project, including testing and training (if required) to ensure that all of the project's requirements have been met.
Examples of ABL IT projects include:

Backups and
Disaster Recovery Planning. Proper disaster planning is not merely making good backups. You need to plan for many types of loss from a simple loss of data to a major disaster (such as a fire or theft). Where will you relocate if this happens? What are the steps involved to replace your hardware? How will you get your data back? How can you notify your customers and vendors? ABL can help alleviate the strees of these unknowns. The only thing worse than the disaster itself is not being properly prepared.
Far better to have a plan and not need it than
to need a plan and not have it. Please see our
Backup and Disaster Recovery page for additional details.
