Benefits of an Annual Level 20 Assessment
Plan Your Budget

January is the perfect time to have a thorough assessment of your company network infrastructure. As businesses look for ways to cut costs many have found their resources lacking when it comes to crucial business components. Proper assessment of your computer hardware and software will prepare your financial department for the expenses your business will incur throughout the year.

A level 20 assessment takes into consideration business necessities that are often neglected during typical budget creation. It is critical to take into consideration big ticket items such as data storage and workstations but it is also important to make sure that secondary necessary requirements are also addressed. To keep productivity high a business needs to budget for increased storage requirements, recurring costs for updates, upgrades, support, maintenance and licensure. Government and industry specific regulations may impose new requirements as well. New software and systems may require mandatory upgrades.

IT Computer Support of New York provides level 20 assessments that cover 7 key areas of business operation along with an in-depth analysis of findings and recommendations. A level 20 assessment with ITCSNY covers:
