IT Strategic Guidance and Expertise to Leverage Technology for Business Growth

Your IT strategy aligns your organization’s technological resources and business development efforts to achieve its overall strategic goals. Without a strategic plan, many companies decide on software purchases or hardware updates based solely on whether or not it’s “in the budget.” An IT strategy, on the other hand, lays out specific objectives and milestones that help your organization maintain a competitive edge. TenHats helps you leverage your resources now to plan best for the future.

Data Center Specs

Full Redundancy

All our equipment has a second, independent piece of equipment as a backup. We even use two independent power grids, allowing us to have an A and B side of our data center supported by internal power sources. If the A side falters, the B side can fully take over. This method is how we offer the best service in our region.

Around-The-Clock Support

If you have an issue or question, our team is on call 24/7. Whether it’s tech support or 2:00 a.m. maintenance, we’re always ready to help.

Constant Protection

Physical security is one of the top risks to your data outside of a data center. We’ve equipped the data center at TenHats with industry standard fire, flood, and theft protection security systems.

HIPAA & SOC 2 Security

Because we specialize in healthcare and finance, everyone, from our security guards to our CEO, complies with HIPAA and SOC guidelines.

10,000-foot Purpose-Built Location

Many data centers are built in repurposed buildings. Instead, we built our data center from the ground up. We scrutinized every detail to create the best infrastructure possible.

24x7 Armed Guards

No one can enter our data center or offices without first passing our security team. TenHats’ armed guards monitor the campus at all times to ensure your infrastructure stays safe.

What Is IT Strategy?

An IT strategy is a comprehensive plan that aligns your organization’s IT initiatives with its overall business objectives. If you’re investing in new software or cloud infrastructure, why are you doing it? How does that investment meet your broader business goals? A well-crafted strategy helps your organization achieve competitive advantages and enhance efficiency in day-to-day operations.

Digital Transformation 

An IT strategy considers budgetary constraints and risk management to ensure resources are allocated effectively and potential threats are mitigated. An effective IT strategy enables better decision-making by defining a clear roadmap for IT investments. It optimizes the use of technology so you can prioritize projects based on their impact.

At TenHats, we regularly consult with clients to evaluate their technological priorities and assess market dynamics to make sure their IT strategy remains agile and well-suited to their current business needs.

Successful implementation of an IT strategic plan empowers organizations to leverage technology as a catalyst for growth. It supports innovation and provides a competitive edge to ensure business success over time.
