Thank you to both our clients and the IT Partners team for a great 1st quarter! Every way you look at it we have had an excellent start to the year, with lots of interesting project work, some great new clients, further additions to the team, and some useful new technologies and systems on the way to being implemented.
Some interesting research …
It is always good to find some research that backs up some long held assumptions, although we must note it was paid for by Microsoft. The report can be found here, but the key quote from the researcher for me was …
“Our assessment of the report tells us that an increased focus on IT correlates with good performance in all of the size categories surveyed,” said Dale Vile, research director of Freeform Dynamics. “This whole picture corroborates the notion that technology and hosted services can provide tangible business advantage, even for smaller companies, and it’s not surprising to see that investment in IT and hosting goes hand in hand with good financial performance.”
IT Partners supports systems that are housed internally and hosted externally, and has recently entered the Microsoft Accelerate program for Microsoft Online Services.
