Technology as Easy as Turning a Key

Isn't it nice to have everything prepared for you? Of course it is. Whether it's having your dinner made for you when you get home, or having your car turned over to you fueled up and cleaned out, everybody appreciates having everything taken care of. In the world of technology, we take care of everything with our turnkey business management solutions.

The idea of using a key may seem out of place with technology. You may use a key to lock up the server room or even the server rack, but other than that, it's not like you need a physical key to access anything on your computers. The term turnkey is actually borrowed from the construction industry, today's leading market of key utilization.

One of the biggest jobs that involve solutions is house building. Between framing, electrical, plumbing, flooring, cabinets, and dozens of other tasks, constructing a house involves the coordination of one solution after another. The developer is the one to take care of everything, sometimes even the financing. These completed houses are sold as "turnkey homes" because everything is included and finished, down to even the furniture, which means all that the buyer has to do is "turn the key."

Computers and computer networks are like houses in their own right. IT networks can be a complex web of cables that can rival the electrical and plumbing systems of homes. Just like you would prefer not to buy a home that looks good on the outside, but on the inside the walls are stripped down to the studs, so too would you prefer not to buy a workstation with the parts and the OS, but lacking the applications critical to your business.

Don't get us wrong, you very well could purchase just a barebone PC and then take the time to shop for and install all the applications that you need. You may look at the price of going this route and think that this will save you some dough, but anybody who has spent any time having to paint, wallpaper, shop for appliances, and do any of the other dozens of jobs that it takes to make a house ready to live in, will see the value of having everything taken care of in one easy turnkey solution. Additionally, you may not really be saving money if you buy all of your technology solutions separately because purchasing everything in bundles may qualify you for a discounted rate.

With Directive's turnkey business management solution, we can provide you with all the technology that you need to get the job done. No matter what the job is, big or small. Whether we build you an IT network from the ground up, or hook up a new employee with a new workstation that is ready to go, we will do all the work that it takes so that all you have to do is power on your technology and turn the proverbial key. Call Directive at 607.433.2200 and let us take care of everything!
