Consulting

You need a partner to help cut through the noise of technology changes to bring clarity and solutions so your technology will work for you.

The world has a love/hate relationship with technology. When it works, it makes our businesses better. When it doesn’t, it causes more problems than it’s worth.

Our consultants come alongside your team to learn about your business and provide strategy to keep you on track. With over 30 years of experience, we’ve been a part of technology changes and used them to help businesses become even more efficient. Whether you’re a small business or an enterprise organization, we have the background to deliver a solution for your unique situation.

From refining processes, tailoring software, building teams, implementing cloud computing, leveraging the Internet of Things, or establishing long term technology strategies, our team has the knowledge to put these areas to work for your business.

Strategy

A New Perspective

If you’re looking for a new software and technology perspective for your business, LyncStream team members can spend time with your team to plan a strategy to help you move forward. The strategy will take into account the state of your internal resources and where you want to be. From there we work to create a roadmap to reach the end goal and outline what additional resources may or may not be needed. Sometimes our LyncStream teams members can be augmented with your staff to help meet the goals, and in other instances, you may not need additional resources at all.

Team Augmentation

Extend Your Team

Some projects may require specialization in a certain technology or language that your company doesn’t require on a continual basis. If you don’t need long-term, full-time staff members, we can provide the developers to reach your goal. LyncStream’s network developers is experienced in a wide variety of disciplines and can be integrated into your team to finish that project. We interview, test, and encourage continuing education for all developers, giving you the peace of mind that the job is going to be completed efficiently.

Business Process And Automation

Business Processes that Flow

If software and technology are causing friction in your business workflow, you need a partner who will take the time to get to know your unique model and industry, and  advise and implement proven strategies to reduce the frustrations and maximize efficiencies.  

We spend the time learning about how your business operates and the processes that makes the gears turn. We ask questions about the regulations that govern your business, why certain tools and software are used, what would reduce the stress on your business, and how you would wish it worked.  

After we’ve reviewed your requirements, we make recommendations to the flow of your business that are designed to reduce friction and let the business processes flow effectively and efficiently. These suggestions could involve changes to your software and technology as well as your existing business processes and methodologies. 

The automation of technology and software process can be the oil in a business process to reduce friction. If your existing pieces of software were implemented at different times, they may not talk to one another, doubling the work you and your staff do. Depending on the application, we can write custom software so they talk to one another. Automating systems will improve your business process to save your team time and money in the long run.
