Get the IT Expertise You Need When You Need It
When your organization needs specific IT expertise, hiring staff or contracting services isn’t always the best route to solve an issue or finish a short-term project. Sometimes, just a day or two with an experienced veteran is all you need to get the job done. A fresh perspective on a project often compresses the timeline, and a seasoned expert can ensure your team is following manufacturers’ best practices when installing new technologies.
All these factors inspired OnX to develop Consulting Day Services, which allow clients to tap the full range of our advanced technical expertise without having to initiate a project or commit to a contract.
Tap the full range of our advanced technical expertise without having to initiate a project or commit to a contract.
Clients purchase a day (or a series of days) of consulting services for assistance with server, storage, network, firewall, or other infrastructure needs. These services are designed to help clients with projects such as data migrations, upgrades of existing components, knowledge transfer, etc. Typical activities include assistance with planning, designing, installation, migration, and general expert technical support.
