What we offer for remote infrastructure management services
CIOs today face the challenge of providing high-quality services while reducing their costs. Using remote services to complement in-house IT staff is one potential solution. Gartner estimates that "70% of IT support for infrastructure services can be performed from a remote location" and "remote infrastructure management services can reduce labor costs by 10% to 50%, depending on the delivery location, resulting in a 3% to 30% overall net savings, excluding one-time transition charges."
