Large companies have the luxury of IT staff. When annual revenues top $100 million, a company can afford 20 or even 200 people dedicated to running its technology. Changing trends in technology, increasing complexity of networks, and increasing reliance on IT necessitate a governing body constantly thinking about how a company is using technology. IT departments have fostered the explosive growth and innovation that we have seen over the past five to ten years. This is exciting because this technological growth allows big businesses to streamline their internal processes, and to effectively market and communicate to their customers. However, this poses a daunting challenge to small business: how can a business of 3-30 employees compete?

Hansen Gress specializes in IT solutions for small business. For most small businesses, hiring a team of IT planners and technicians is absolutely out of the question. Even hiring one full-time technician is beyond the budget for companies with up to 30 workstations. Competent part-time technical staff is virtually impossible to find, and harder to rely on: a single technician can get sick or go on vacation, and a single technician has a limited library of knowledge and skills. Hansen Gress brings reliability, diversity in problem solving, and competency to tackle the ever-changing technologies of today. When you hire Hansen Gress as your IT department, you bring an enterprise-grade IT solution to your business.

Adding Hansen Gress to your team means you can get back to your job: running your business. Stop worrying about your technology. You can count on our technicians to repair any problems that come up; but the value of Hansen Gress comes in the consistency of our systems. Since we proactively maintain and monitor our clients’ workstations and networks, you will see fewer problems in the first place. This is great news – solving problems before they happen means less lost productivity due to failing technology.

Part of our value as a member of your team is that we actively look at your business and seek out processes that can be streamlined or enhanced. We are constantly researching new technologies, and we have many clients who have similar needs and who have already been through the growing pains that you are likely to encounter as your business booms. Since we are familiar with such a diverse set of problems and solutions, we are able to solve yours effectively.

These benefits are common practice in big business. To stay competitive in the future, small businesses are going to have to get smart. As technology becomes a larger part of every business, using technology will no longer provide simply provide competitive advantage. It will be required even to be in business. We see box stores snuffing out small businesses all over the nation. This is a tragedy, because we all know that diversity in every arena, including business, is a good thing. Staying competitive against box stores may seem impossible, but with Hansen Gress driving your technology, you can focus your energy on the bigger task – staying competitive in an evermore-corporate society.
