Technology Assessment Services

In order to maximize the impact of technology upgrades, it is important to first assess the state of your existing IT environment. Assessments can help you ensure that the proper infrastructure is in place to support any new technologies, and that the upgrades will both meet your current business needs and grow with you into the future.

Our Process 

At MCPc, we take a holistic approach to our customers’ IT environments. Any assessment begins with a conversation about your short- and long-term business goals and desired solutions. We then learn about your current infrastructure and processes, and work with you to determine the most efficient, cost-effective solution for your organization’s unique needs.

Solution-Specific Assessment Services

		Data Center Assessment Whether your hardware is reaching end of life or you want to reap the benefits of modular cooling, airflow management, server consolidation or a network upgrade, we can help you enhance or rebuild a data center suited to your organization’s specific needs. Start with a Data Center Assessment to get a clear understanding of your current data center design and performance for optimal update recommendations.
		Server Virtualization Assessment Server Virtualization is often a great solution for businesses looking to reduce data center sprawl, lower heating and cooling costs, and simplify ongoing data center management. A Server Virtualization Assessment provides insight into how hardware and storage space are being used in your current data center environment. This information, along with details on your hardware, power and cooling costs, can help us develop a server virtualization plan tailored to your business.
		Desktop & Application Virtualization Assessment Desktop and Application Virtualization can be ideal for organizations that want to improve data security, better control software use and licensing, enforce corporate IT policies and more—in short, these solutions can help to better balance end-user access with IT management and control. Performing an assessment is often the best way to determine if your business may be a good candidate.
		Network Assessment The success and stability of your organization is reliant upon the strength and health of your core IT infrastructure. Ensure that you have a clear understanding of all its components, network connectivity and performance ability before making any major changes or upgrades. With a Network Assessment, we can provide you with reliable data about your network, and develop a tailored plan to help it grow with your business to achieve long-term strategic goals.
		Imaging & Printing Assessment Due to a lack of centralized management, printing and imaging costs are out of control at many organizations. By better understanding your environment, and optimizing use of printers, fax machines, copiers and other devices, your organization can reduce waste and save money. Learn more about our Printing & Imaging Assessment and Total Print Management Pilot Program.
		Wireless Network Assessment Wireless networks are seeing exponential growth in traffic, both from business needs such as VoIP, RFID, mobile employees and company laptops, and from personal devices like mobile phones, iPads and other tablets, and MP3 players. A Wireless Network Assessment will analyze access points and overall network performance, and help you determine the best way to optimize the environment to best support your new mix of end-user needs.
		Software License Assessment For a number of reasons, many organizations struggle to stay current with software license compliance. If you’re unsure about what your company has deployed, how many instances and on what machines, a Software License Assessment can help you get a clear picture of your environment, and cost-effectively close any gaps.
		Windows 7 Assessment If you’re considering an upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista or XP, first determine its compatibility with your existing systems and lease schedules, as well as how it will work within your long-term business roadmap. A Windows 7 Assessment can provide you with all of this information, and working with MCPc will help you ensure that you minimize migration risks, maximize deployment efficiency and control costs.
		Telecommunication Services Assessment Whether you’re looking to save money on carrier services, renegotiating contracts or otherwise updating your telecommunications environment, an assessment can help you to fully understand your current costs and network. With this information, MCPc will leverage its carrier relationships to help you get the most cost-effective, efficient telecommunications solution for your organization.
		Business Supply Procurement Assessment With a Business Supply Procurement Assessment from MCPc, you can identify areas in your current supply-ordering process that cause disruption or go against company standards. We then work with you to develop a customized ecommerce store and procurement plan—complete with the products your organization orders most and automated approval chains—to alleviate supply-ordering frustration and unexpected billings.
		Video & Telepresence Assessment Video communication solutions are rapidly changing the way we do business today, and many organizations are reaping the benefits in improved efficiency, reduced travel and other video- and telepresence-related cost savings. Before investing in any major upgrades, ensure that your current environment can support your desired solution, and develop a strategic roadmap to get you there.

As a Cisco Gold Certified Partner, our team will analyze your current environment—including what hardware and software you have covered, and at what level—and offer coverage recommendations to maximize your return on investment.
