Information Systems launches free IT Health check at Profit Event 2003

Free IT health checks worth in the region of £1,000 each are being offered by Information Systems to qualified companies.

The health check will measure how well a small to medium sized company's current IT (hardware and software) is delivering against the company's business strategy. Each health check will be carried out by a senior Information Systems consultant and will include one on site visit for half a day. A report detailing where current systems fall short of the business requirement and an outline recommendation for an approach to improving IT performance will be included in the health check.
