TECHNOLOGY Award winning Mintivo give their take on tech We were delighted to take home three awards at the Chippenham Business Awards 2020. We entered two categories – SME of the Year and Best Place to Work, winning in both. However, the icing on the cake was to be awarded the accolade of overall Business of the Year which is given by the judges. As leading IT providers who help ambitious organisations grow by delivering corporate IT services to the SME, Mintivo has always been underpinned by outstanding customer service and our team are chosen for their attitude and customer focus, not just their knowledge base. We want to ensure our customers see us as humans, not simply technical ‘geeks’. That said, Mintivo is proud of its team’s qualifications and expertise in design, implementation, management and IT support covering all aspects of business-critical computing, server, storage, networking, connectivity, wi-fi, security and software. What tech does your business need? This question is one that is regularly asked, and there is no simple answer. Most people don’t know what they need, so it is important to speak to trusted experts. The IT world is ever-changing, and we keep on top of technical advancements to ensure that clients don’t fall behind. It is important to concentrate on what you want technology to do for you. Are you looking for more speed, less downtime or an ability to be better able to communicate with your clients? With the array of ‘shiny new toys’ available, it is easy to be swept up with hype and sales tricks and end up with a ‘solution’ that simply doesn’t deliver what you need. Technology can have amazing returns on investments, but obviously up-front costs are a consideration. There is a need to invest a certain amount of time, thought and understanding before determining that the operating costs needed will provide the IT solution and the results you want. It is essential for the smooth running of any business to have a project plan of how any IT solutions offered will be implemented. Ensuring we understand your entire business strategy, identifying a clearly defined roadmap for implementation with you and offering finance options if needed, Mintivo make investing in new technology a simple and pain free process. Give Mintivo a call to discuss how we might assist you in identifying and implementing the correct solution for your business.
