Prescient Solutions

How much should you spend on IT to survive in the months ahead?


For most enterprises, the biggest IT challenge today is containing costs. Spending too much means a waste of important dollars, while spending too little keeps you from reliably delivering your products and services. The worst case is spending too much for staff, consultants, and systems that still don’t deliver.


That’s where Prescient Solutions comes in. With 13 years in business and 70+ consultants, Prescient has an excellent reputation for providing IT support to enterprise business clients and local governmental agencies.


As one of Chicago’s top IT outsourcing firms, we can be your CIO, Help Desk or anything in between.


How can you lower your overall IT costs?


We audit your existing IT infrastructure to recommend fixed spending levels and prescribe a cost-effective IT strategy:


Strategic spending vs. Maintenance mode If cost containment is your primary strategy, Prescient can help you make the most of existing systems. As new technology becomes necessary, we’ll make sure you don’t overspend.


Security We understand that not all data is top secret. However, most data, if compromised or stolen, represents exposure to your organization. As a member of the Department of Homeland Security’s Cyber Security Task Force, Prescient CIO Jerry Irvine can help you craft a security plan that’s optimized for risk, performance, and cost.


Performance If customers and employees can’t access information quickly, they will simply not use the systems you’ve implemented (at significant cost to your organization). We’ll make sure your business can deliver information as needed.


Reliability Some applications require 24x7x365 availability while others do not. We’ll study your environment and develop backup and continuity plans in direct proportion to the cost of outages.
