Consulting

There are several reasons, why you may require our consulting services:

  • Your employees are unable to solve an extraordinary problem and they need external expertise to aid them in reaching a solution.

  • You need additional highly skilled workforce in order to meet deadlines on your IT project and require an expert able to quickly grasp your specific problem domain and thus be productive from the onset. We understand that transforming new hires into productive employees is next to impossible while working to meet a deadline, and are here to help with our trained professionals.

  • You need some help with optimizing your internal business processes via selection of appropriate software or even development of a quick, custom solution. Vilesse can maximize your profit by minimizing operational costs and significantly increasing your productivity.

  • Your business is not in any way connected with IT and hiring a full-time IT staff to handle minor operations becomes a liability to your business. In that case, outsourcing system administration and helpdesk from us is a much more cost-effective option. You can have a professional system administrator and user support specialist that will answer any IT-related question and fix any problems with software/hardware you may have for a flat monthly fee.

  • You need one-time help from an expert to implement some IT solution or to try some new technology in your business. Then you can hire regular full-time staff who can optionally be mentored by Vilesse experts.

  • You want to participate in a tender for a project that contains IT components and you do not have anyone to estimate the cost and time required. Vilesse will suggest an optimal implementation.

  • You want to organize a short (from one hour up to several days) training session for your employees on using some software / hardware.

  • Any other case when you need advice from highly experienced IT professionals.

  • Microsoft Excel macros and Microsoft Office automation
    Microsoft Excel is an excellent tool for solving many business problems, because it provides unlimited possibilities in analyzing data, most users are familiar with it, and even those who are not can learn it in a few hours.

    It is no wonder that many businesses rely on Microsoft Excel for daily tasks. Most of the time, however, users do not utilize Excel's full potential, because it usually requires a one-time programming effort to write VBA macros which instantly and significantly improve productivity.

    Vilesse can help you with that effort and save you 15-50 hours of lost productivity a month, which can easily translate to $20 000 in annual savings.

    Other Office applications (including Word, Outlook, Access and Visio) can also be automated to significantly improve your staff's productivity.
