Whether you're starting a new business or revamping an established one, the IT system you build now will have a major impact – for better or for worse – on your future success. But how can you know what kind network infrastructure to put in place? As with so many business questions, the answer lies in proper planning.

Building a long-term IT plan is best done with aid of an experienced IT managed services company. Essentially, it involves addressing the following major questions:

 What do want your business to achieve? One smart way to plan your new IT system is to start with the hoped-for end result. What are your business's goals, objectives and unique capabilities, and what kinds of information technology will you need to support them? Creating a detailed vision of where you want your company to be in X number of years will give you a good idea of the required IT infrastructure.
