	Consulting & Advisory Services (CAS)

Our Consulting and Advisory Services (CAS) provide our customers with world-class Information Technology and Business Continuity strategic planning and delivery services. CAS takes a holistic approach to assessing datacenter assets and processes in the context of business requirements and provides organizations with actionable analyses and advice rooted in the goals, objectives, and mission of the client organization.

Mitigating risk is a company-wide issue. This includes due diligence before large IT investments, as well as solving pain in IT business processes. It also includes reducing risk in data center relocations or consolidations related to M&A or DR activity. Another area is new concerns that compliance, regulatory, security are placing on IT organizations. Consonus’ CAS offerings allow you to stay focused on your business and functional goals as we act as your agent in evaluating the myriad of existing technologies, and applying the best practices available.

Experience

CAS allows our customers to stay focused on their business and functional goals as Consonus Technologies has provided consulting and advisory engagements to nearly a hundred Fortune 5000 companies since 2000. We have streamlined processes and improved technology vision and strategy while reducing potential risk and cost. With more than 60 ITIL Foundation-certified associates and several ITIL master consultants, we have saved our customers millions of dollars in capital expenditure and process efficiency through strategic solution development.

CTI acts as an agent in evaluating the myriad of technologies and applying the best practices available today. As a vendor-neutral resource, our recommendations are based on technology’s ability to meet business criteria.

We operate and manage multiple data centers similar or even larger in scope to many of our customers, and have been doing so for over 18 years. We understand the challenges of managing the most dynamic data center environments. We apply this vast experience in selecting compatible and complementary technologies to solve problems, while illustrating the return on investment (ROI) and total cost of ownership (TCO) of our recommendations.

Benefits of Strategic IT Planning

As a vendor-neutral resource, our recommendations are based on various technologies’ ability to meet your business criteria. The primary benefits of engaging CAS are:

Cost-effective strategic planning
Effective asset utilization through consolidation, virtualization and manageability strategies
Convert Business Impact Analysis (BIA) into actionable DR/BC plans for IT
IT remediation and risk reduction through gap analysis and recommendation development
Improved strategic vision and technology selection through ROI/TCO analyses
Adoption of new IT process models for improved efficiencies
Risk-mitigated transition to new IT services (e.g. managed or outsourced services)

Think of CAS as analogous to the architectural engineering and planning services undertaken prior to building or renovating a home; a 5-10% investment up front can save many times that amount in waste, delays or cost overruns.
