Project Code

Description Due to the broad nature and increasing complexity of the technology in our environment we need to periodically bring in external consultants for support, troubleshooting, and security. Specific skillsets are sometimes needed on a short-term basis for installation and configuration to eliminate unplanned downtime within a project or resolve issues.

Justification We leverage technology consulting companies that specialize in the needed technology to limit downtime, speed up the time to resolution, and for implementations. Obtaining a specific skillset for just an installation or troubleshooting time period can positively impact a projects timeframe and eliminate negative impacts that can be associated with IT changes.
