Are Your Technical Operations Out of Control?

For fast growing businesses, it’s easy for technical operations to devolve into expensive, labor-intensive, insecure and non-compliant platforms. Technical projects don’t get done, you don’t have a handle on security or compliance and IT costs explode. And all of that conspires to distract you from your core business. You know, the thing that pays the rent.

The only things you know for sure are your technical operations are out of control, it can no longer be business as usual and adding more technical staff isn’t the way to go. You’re willing to invest in the short term for long term savings and risk reduction, if only you knew where to make that investment.

Transformed Technical Operations: Secure, Compliant & Automated

Imagine if you could get your IT costs under control and security, governance and compliance risks no longer kept you up at night. Imagine product leaders focused on product initiatives instead of worrying about security alerts. Or IT teams that are no longer frustrated with clunky, non-integrated systems.

How is that possible? By partnering with an organization that uses vetted tools, operating templates and integrations to automate the management of your technical operations. A partner that is a Professional Technology Management Organization (PTMO).

It’s a fact: 93% of companies go out of business after a major data loss.  And even “small” IT risks, such as business continuity, can cost companies a significant amount of their top-line revenue.  CBI’s security services close the door on risk, allowing your technology to run flawlessly.

CBI employs a combination of anti-virus software, security controls, powerful tools, and continuous monitoring to effectively mitigate risk.  Our state-of-the-art facilities are equipped with redundant power and cutting-edge HVAC, fire protection and security systems with a separate physical security system in our data center for added protection.

 

CBI’s Security effectively eliminates:

  • Security breach 
  • Data loss
  • Lack of compliance 

 

Our services help you understand your vulnerabilities and deal with security issues before and after they occur.  Our methodology is centered on the idea that with adequate preparation, identification, containment, and ultimately, recovery, your company can quickly return to normal operations.

We promptly address every aspect of your security concerns by combining industry best practices, developing a deep understanding of your network security position, and formulating a detailed recovery plan tailored precisely to your infrastructure.

.

CBI’s data management solutions provides industry leading storage, protection, and availability. Maintained by our expert engineers, our secure data centers provide full backup and recovery, clustering and replication, and disaster recovery.

At CBI, we understand the challenges that come with bridging data management with security and performance.

There are a handful of operational functions that even the best-equipped IT teams could use a little help with. These typically occur at the intersection of technology services and business management.

At CBI Connect, when it comes to the business of managing technology, we have our finger on the pulse of the industry. That means we can provide advice and guidance to you based on best practices and what is actually working in the industry right now.

It governance, risk and compliance (GRC)

With rapidly changing regulations and threats, not every organization is positioned to keep up. That’s where CBI Connect comes in. We’ll augment your IT operations with standard operating procedures (SOP), best practices, control frameworks, policies and audits so you can stay on top of GRC.

IT procurement

Procuring IT services and being good at procuring them are two different things. CBI Connect transforms your procurement to be more agile and cost effective. We can help with vendor management, vendor risk management, RFP management, distribution and fulfillment.

IT Financial Management (ITFM)

IT financial management is another operational function that doesn’t come naturally to most organizations. It takes a special expertise, and the right experience, to understand the nuanced tradeoffs that must be made to optimize IT finances. CBI Connect can help with budgeting, budget performance, spend optimization, cash management and more.

IT Asset Management (ITAM)

Procuring IT assets is only the beginning. You need to be able to effectively manage those assets through their entire lifecycle. CBI Connect can help transform your ITAM by improving ordering, procurement, license management, inventory management, destruction and decommissioning.
