A blueprint, expert advice, and the proper tools may be the most important requirements to insure success in a building project.  But what about a slightly different type of architectural endeavor, a computer system architecture?  No power tools or reminders of shop safety necessary, but you are going to need a blueprint and expert advice.

First, put the power saw down!  Then, call Ross Sampson Consulting.  We can develop the blueprint for a new system architecture, or help remodel an existing one to the changing needs of your business.  Too often, system architecture plans are developed with either the "I have a hammer" or the "gigantic tool sale" approach:

• I have a hammer - ...therefore every problem looks like a nail.  If your system design is assigned to someone untrained in system architecture, the solution will be crafted based on the skills that person has, which makes sense.  The only way to make sure the architecture provides a stable framework for today's as well as tomorrow's system needs is to get advice from someone with more than a hammer in their tool belt; in this case an experienced system architect.



• Gigantic tool sale - yes, it is hard to resist the temptation to add a component to your system if the price is right.  Especially if it's something newer than you have and fairly cool.  However, there are concerns that must be kept in mind, like compatibility with existing components and the future direction of system growth.  Our system architects have the long-term vision and experience to resist adding components that don't fit into the plan; it's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it.

Don't get the idea that our system architects don't get to have any fun.  They get to research all the new and cool components available and become familiar with their best applications as well as better ways to configure networks and peripherals.  Knowledge is power.  Maybe not a swell time to the average person, but we can accurately call our system architects 'beyond average'.
