CTO on Demand
Whether you have decided to migrate to the cloud, or weighing up your options for automating your processes. When you consider technology evolution, you will be reviewing lots of applications, services and infrastructure that have been created over many years, by many teams, to support a huge range of business activities.
Untangling this interlinked web of services without causing any disruption to your business may seem almost impossible. In reality, it can be achieved, but you need a detailed plan up front of what is the current state of affairs, what is the desirable outcome and most importantly why.
Without a business outcome to measure the success of a project in terms of ROI, you may see little benefit from doing so.
Aaroh specialises in business and technical consulting to help an organisation shrink time and shorten distances through digital transformation. The technology changes; it could be a bespoke application, it could be customising something off the shelf or it could be deploying SD-WAN infrastructure.
What does not change however is the hard work that goes in prior to the delivery of the technology… A detailed business workshop to map out all processes across all users that make up the organisation, from suppliers, to staff, to customers.
From this, we can work out the ‘ideal state’ of your organisation, and the ‘true state’ of how things are now.
CTO on Demand can completely change the way you select the most optimum solution, hire the right implementation partners and ensure what you got is what you need.
Cloud computing
A good way to imagine cloud computing is hopping into an Ola or Uber cab to go somewhere, instead of owning a car to drive around. Not only that you have the convenience of resizing your cab based on your need, in addition to the frills of driver, maintenance etc, but you also avoid the baggage of an unused car in the garage when you don’t need it.
There are several benefits of moving to the cloud, the typical ones such as enhanced security, scalability and faster deployments. However, a re-platforming of your existing applications is best undertaken to achieve a business goal, start with a ‘story’ such as: “I want to move these applications to the cloud, so all my business locations have the same view of data in real time”
Without a goal like this, you may end up migrating purely for the sake of migrating, with marginal savings. That’s why we recommend completing a cloud migration assessment before beginning the task, to ensure you understand the breadth of your estate, the dependencies and who will be impacted.
Business Automation - ERP, CRM, Accounting
More and more organisations are making the leap to cloud-based ERP or CRM software subscription services.
But with the lines constantly blurring and shifting between what’s available and what’s possible, with an organisation’s needs constantly evolving and with a world that’s never been less stable; you need experts to not only answer your licensing requirement needs, but also to help frame the right questions in the first place.
Experts who can advise you on the right platforms and licenses your organisation needs now, who will advise when your needs change and who have already planned for those needs into your digital roadmap.
Mobile and Web apps
Aaroh’s design thinking approach is to view any digital service as a ‘product’ and approach the ‘product’ as a user, understand who would use this product, what they would expect from it, how they would use it if they had no prior experience of using it and what they are likely to pay for to take advantage of it.
Defining this early helps ensure all parties from management, developers to potential investors all have the same clearly defined objectives for the product build and a shared vision for the reason for the product to exist.
Extensive research into the potential product, the existing landscape and competitive analysis is then undertaken by our design team, through a combination of user interviews, contextual inquiries and market research.
We’re experienced at building products as a platform, which can allow for future integration with third parties, roadmap for future features and defining what the MVP looks like.
Core Network Services
And too often we see devices being disconnected or housed across multiple private clouds, often working in silos, rendering it powerless to aid in a company’s strategic goals.
Connectivity is the blood of the company. Which means it’s never been more important for an organisation to have a robust networking solution that is secure and available 24/7.
We leverage technology that would work well with the existing network infrastructure of the company, thereby reducing the overall cost, and simplifying operations.
Outsourcing
From technical help desk to Emails, from database management to desktop management, our outsourcing partners are comfortable working across IT services, as well as on call support where this is appropriate.
We see outsourcing, as the natural progression of IT Operations, using the cloud and connectivity tools to offer even more value to your end users. Our team are experienced IT technicians and dedicated problem solvers.
IT Assets Management
This is where Aaroh can really help, and it’s by providing you an on-demand IT support personnel. You get years of experience required to troubleshoot the weirdest issues and pay for only the time they work.
