Measure and check whether IT performance is maintained as per expected at all times. This is particularly important for small businesses that have a limited budget to invest, and for whom IT outages can quickly turn into real financial liabilities.
Sales or Business Forecast Assessment Sales forecasts help small businesses make important decisions, especially regarding investments. Forecasting tools identify and provide business owners with insight such as information revealing that a business is on track to meet 25% of its annual sales target in a specific month. Armed with this information, business owners can choose an appropriate course of action, including ramping up infrastructure to meet service or product needs, or hiring additional resources if required.

Business Continuity Assessment Ensuring growth is a continuous process. Business continuity management is a practice that must be addressed if a company aims to expand in the near future. As a business grows, measures must be implemented to ensure that a company’s existence is not dependent upon a single individual. A business continuity assessment should evaluate areas such as process documentation, planning, strategic development, communication and training, and emergency contingency planning.
