Note from the Sales Manager


Most business owners and managers depend upon reliable technology to deliver their products and services. Do you struggle to navigate the maze of constant change and available solutions? This is a daunting task, in addition to tracking hardware and software assets, network infrastructure, and external connections. How do you budget for unexpected system failures and new equipment? What about a new line-of-business application and how it affects the systems you already have? Larger organizations may have internal IT staff and management to address these concerns, but the odds are that the task falls upon you – and isn’t that why you have a business, just to be your own IT department?

AMT’s Always-On Total and Always-On Remote products include our Strategic Technology Consultant, aka Virtual Chief Information Officer (vCIO) services. Let our staff manage the documentation and inventory of what you already have and how everything works together. Thinking about expanding? We can design and implement an IT infrastructure that’s right for your business. In addition to planned monthly expenses, we can also create an annual IT and communications budget, including equipment replacement and upgrades. Are you considering a new software vendor, application upgrade, wireless networking or a move to VoIP? We can “talk tech” with the vendor to evaluate the impacts on existing systems and plan for upgrades. Take the headaches out of product research and purchasing - AMT’s Always-On Total and Always-On Remote clients can purchase hardware and software materials at a low fixed markup. We also include up to two hours of installation service at no charge for materials procured through AMT.

Although many of these services are available for an hourly rate, they are included with our evolutionary Always-On Total and Always-On Remote month-to-month IT Systems management at no additional cost.

Let our team take care of the technology so you can focus on what you do best – managing your business and the bottom line.

No longer just a way for controversial thoughts to be heard, small and large businesses everywhere have begun to blog to build brand awareness, interact with their customers on a more personal level, and elevate their status in the industry as a thought-leader
