Intelligent iT, a New York City- based boutique IT firm with clients large and small in the tri-state area, has recently rebranded and refocused their efforts on the start up market as the emerging tech scene in New York has spawned the need for extended services.
Manuel Ruiz, managing director of intelligent iT has witnessed a furious shift in demand for services that have forced a retooling of just about everything the iT services company has to offer, from adjusting workflow and staffing hours to meeting late-night demand for support, to outsourced CTO accountability for emerging companies with limited budgets.
"We have seen a real shift in businesses in New York and have excelled in accommodating this new start up culture," says Ruiz. "From late nights... to rolling up our sleeves at a moment's notice, our ability to adapt has really served small but growing companies well. Whether it is on-site emergency calls to outsourcing a CTO position start ups have unique short and long-term needs and we have been both studying and fulfilling them as the demand grows."
In many cases, explains Ruiz, start ups don't have the budget to hire a full-time CTO, yet their investors often demand to see that those positions are filled to ensure stability of their investment and that is where intelligent iT comes in.
"We want to make our clients look good, not only to their clients, but also to their investors," said Ruiz. "So in addition to solid iT products and support, we now also make it possible for our clients to outsource their CTO position to us in order to receive the same great expertise, stability, and accreditation they need to suit investors' demands without draining their entire start up budgets."
In addition to fast-paced outsourcing services, late night calls and filling top IT slots on an outsourced basis, intelligent iT also is expanding its suite of services to include business support and project management plans that will grow with their clients' needs over time. The band-aid approach, says Ruiz, just doesn't fit the bill.
"We are focused on providing fast-paced and efficient IT services for companies who can't afford in-house tech support, but where we are seeing a big need for evolving our services is in scalability," said Ruiz. "We must be able to offer our clients key support services that include a plan for their future, making it possible to withstand the pressure when a start up business explodes and ready to help take the company into the next level when it does."
