Often-asked questions are "What are our total assets?" and "How do we organize them?"  In order to adopt the control standards required by regulations like Sarbanes-Oxley and realize the efficiencies of automation demanded in the modern IT landscape, sometimes it is helpful to bring in objectivity and review present practices and procedures.

If you are thinking of investing in large software systems, let PhoenixTCG help evaluate technology for an Before more money is spent to acquire more management software that is often only partially implemented, take a step back and discover where current practices must evolve to become best practices.  Use this information to leverage your current software investment and get the most out of what you already own.

The Discovery Workshop will help you realize your assets, get the most of the Microsoft operating environment, make the most of Symantec Ghost, SMS, Altiris, and other software management tools.  The result of the Discovery Workshop is a Technology Solution Abstract - a superlative document that probes the device lifecycle, including provisioning, deployment, and decomissioning and links it with system recovery and security compliancy.

Discovery Workshop Composition

Get prepared for the workshop by assembling the right members on your team.  This brief questionnaire ensures a productive assessment by gathering obvious data elements and establishes the foundation of the IT environment before we arrive.  

With the Prework, we will know what systems are generally vulnerable, the COE basics, methods of recovery, security and patch tools, and system management software that will need to be optimized and integrated.

We come onsite for 1-2 days to present best practices, interview your IT teams, and assess the procedures between hardware integration vendors, software specialists, and other service providers.  With our proven methods of discovery, we will quickly ascertain and communicate your requirements for change.

Within a few business days, PhoenixTCG will deliver a Technology Solution Abstract document, which will reveal areas where best practices are attainable.  Current practices that are outdated and carry disproportionate high costs are defined and the resolution explained.

Any new initiatives for systems and configuration management, recovery, and security compliancy are evaluated with a quantifiable ROI statement.  This is a document will springboard your project to a successful, pragmatic implementation.
