Crisis Management
Has anything like this ever happened to your company? Can it?
- If your IT manager of 20 years leaves the company, do you worry about what would happen to your company's technical stability and productivity? If it's sudden, could you recover without major setbacks?
- Your largest competitor just integrated all of their data systems on a secure global network, cutting their technical operations costs in half and increasing their available customer base to cover every major global market. Can you counter with a plan of your own in time to make a difference?
- After already exceeding their stated deadlines, your current technology provider requests yet another extension to deal with unexpected problems. Can you supplement or replace them without the expense and further delays of starting from scratch, and get your mission-critical systems up when you need them, not when they think they might be able to provide them?
When companies bank on technology projects, often the smallest delays or unexpected occurrances can spell disaster and turn an important project into a real crisis. The OPAL Group has extensive experience in averting these situations by providing you with Computer Engineers familiar with your exisiting technology that can consult with your staff, and keep problems from spiraling out of control. For complex or past-due projects, we engage Emergency Response Teams to rapidly assess your situation and put the project back on track. We've worked with small and large companies all over the world to avert and recover from technical disasters, and feel confident that whatever your situation, we can help.
Cutting-edge Technology
Very large consulting companies are often the ones called in to tackle large industry projects. Unfortunately, due to the expense involved in keeping hundreds or thousands of technicians up to speed on every development in the Industry, these huge shops can seldom provide you with tomorrow's technology today at a reasonable price. As a result, you don't receive cutting-edge technology until it becomes mainstream, and then all your competitors will be jumping on as well, so you've lost the edge that should have been yours.
The OPAL Group is a highly-skilled and flexible IT solutions provider. We don't staff technicians with only marketing degrees, or those with only telephone support experience. Instead, all of our field techs are highly-trained and certified professionals who not only work with technology, but affect the direction in which technologies move. Our consultants have included published researchers, former bank systems designers, sitting members of Standards committees, and authors of reference books. We know the industry because we help shape the industry.
Whole business support and services
Scope of services:
Some technology firms do computer support or network support or website
design and nothing else. The OPAL Group is one of only a few
full-service technology providers in the world, capable of supporting
and creating Networks, Software, Hardware, and Web or Internet
technologies. If your shipping company needs to talk to your
manufacturer, your canning equipment needs to talk to your inventory
system, or simply that Customer Service needs to talk to your IT
department, we can fabricate the hardware, program the software,
assemble the network, and train your staff to get it done.
But sometimes, even that isn't enough.
Venture and Management services:
The flip-side of The OPAL Group coin is our Venture Consulting and Market Services division. This team of skilled managers, lawyers, and
accountants specialize in due-diligence and development of new products
and new businesses. They've brought their experiences from H.J. Heinz,
Country Gourmet Foods, BioMade Plastics, and many others, to supplement our technical services and launch your business to
the next level.
Strategic Alliances:
Finally, if we can't accommodate your needs in-house, The OPAL Group
has built a network of strategic alliances to serve your needs. We work
closely with advertising agencies, manufacturing companies, venture
capital firms or high net-worth individuals, lower-level technical or
customer service support firms, and even educational institutions to
fulfill every aspect of your project and tailor it perfectly to your
business. Our history and alliances are resources available to you, but
The OPAL Group never signs exclusive partnering agreements with an
outside vendor -- when we design a solution, we do so to precisely meet
your specifications and never try to force your company into the
pre-existing mold of one of our business partners. You always get the
correct solution.
