Introduction to Abussi



Hi. This is Craig Sharp, and you're listening to the first ever podcast from Abussi.

We think this is a great medium for sharing topical information about IT. So we're planning to bring you a regular podcast each month, on a variety of hot issues covering everything from security and anti-virus protection to remote monitoring for optimising performance and uptime. We'll make sure we cover the subjects our clients are talking and thinking about, with practical ideas on how you can improve your IT to get it really working for you.

If you know Abussi, you'll know our philosophy. We don't see why large organisations should be the only ones to enjoy the benefits of professionally managed IT. If you're running a small or medium-sized business, you need great IT too to help you develop and grow. And you probably face all the same issues as bigger companies - like security, connectivity, reliability, uptime, and change management. It's just that they're on a different scale.

So here's where we can make a difference - with a range of professional IT services to help you offload the management burden, and leave you free to concentrate on the things that you do best.

We're currently helping clients with all sorts of things, from analysing their operational IT needs, to recommending technology to improve processes and save money. Ensuring that systems are fully secure and effective is normally only the start. We always aim to be as proactive as possible, helping people rise to new business opportunities and take advantage of evolving technology

As you can probably tell, Abussi has moved on a lot over the past year. We've increased our business, taken on more people, and moved into modern new premises. Many of our clients are now getting the benefits of our managed services programme, where we take complete responsibility for their IT and all the areas that touch it - including vendor management and mission-critical remote monitoring.

You can read some of their stories on our new website at abussi.co.uk.

Managed Services will be the main topic in our next podcast. We'll be talking about how we can take away the burden of day-to-day IT management - allowing you to really focus on running your business, and improve strategic direction as you move forward and grow.

Meanwhile, enjoy your IT - and I look forward to talking to you again soon. Thanks for listening.
