Professional and Reliable Information Technology Consulting Services



Is Your Computer Network Preventing Your Company or Firm from Working as Efficiently as Possible?  Are You Spending a Fortune to Keep Current with Software and Hardware Updates? Is it Working?  We provide a detailed analysis of your needs and recommendations to make your IT system and Internet presence more efficient and effective.  In our report, we include quotes and recommendations as to the companies best suited to your needs and budgets to implement the plan.  At your request, we will oversee implementation of the plan.  Since we do not provide the services, we have no incentive to recommend unnecessarily expensive equipment, rather we can focus solely on your needs and the most cost-effective way to meet those needs.

Do You have a Professional Internet Presence?

We do not sell computers, software or services.  Jennifer Suits is a consultant, who works with some of the Metro Area's best technical minds to provide small and mid-sized companies with the systems and IT services they need to efficiently run their businesses at a reasonable cost.  In the process of preparing our recommendations, we will obtain quotes for you.

Does Your Network Administrator/Designer Know Your Business?

  • We explore your business, talk to you and your employees at length, inventory your current system, consult with IT companies which have experience in your particular industry, inspect your premises and provide you with a detailed written evaluation as to your IT and Internet needs.

    Web Site/Internet Promotion

    It is essential for all businesses to have a professional web presence.  It is no longer impressive to have a web page or a site which fails to be regularly updated.  At the minimum every company should have a web site which reflects to image of the company to potential clients.  A professionally prepared web site is useless without being listed in search engines and larger more popular related sites.  Law firms and accounting firms are especially lacking in their Internet presence.  Professionals frequently lack marketing experience which is often due to ethical restraints.  As an attorney, Jennifer Suits provides the insight into the limitations that ethical and professional standards have on a firm's ability to market generally and specifically on the Internet.  Click here for more information regarding web site design and maintenance, pricing, and sample designs.

    Existing System Evaluation

    Who consults with you about your software and hardware needs?  Salespeople? Your IT staff?  Your IT staff may be technical geniuses, but do they really understand how your employees use your system to do their jobs?  Do they understand what your employees need?  Do you have an overall picture of your network and software, or do you add things as you see you need them?

    Our extensive system evaluation involves an inventory of all hardware, software and systems which are presently in place.  We will interview your employees and principals who use the system to determine whether the system is meeting their needs.  After gathering all of the data, we will provide a report which reflects the existing system and rates its reliability, effectiveness in meeting the needs of your employees and makes any recommendations as to hardware or software upgrades which will make your existing system more reliable and a more efficient tool for your company.

    System Design and Implementation

    Do you have an IT staff?  If so, does your IT staff or contract administrators know how your company operates?  Do they understand the level of your employee's comfort with certain software products?  Many companies have the technical expertise to design and implement your new network, but few take the time and effort to listen and evaluate your company's needs before making a recommendation.  We interview your employees and principals to understand your needs before making a system recommendation.  You will be provided a written detailed analysis of your needs simultaneously with price quotes for your proposed system.  You will also be provided with a projected budget which will be required to maintain your system.  Implementing the perfect system without having the cash flow to maintain the system is a terrible disservice to your company.  In planning the system, you will be working with Jennifer Suits, who speaks your language and can translate those needs and concerns to the purely technical people who will implement your system.

    IT Personnel Placement

    You know your business.  IT professionals know computers. Combining the two can result in problems.  There is an inherent communication problem in that the language you use to express your needs and the jargon IT professionals use to communicate their proposed solutions are vastly different.  Rather that using a highly paid employee to try to locate the appropriately qualified and suited IT professional is a waste of time, money and may not be effective.  We find reliable and qualified IT professionals for your company who will fit well with your company.
