Global workforce development
Even if you are not a global concern, you can benefit from a global workforce. Going global means you can fill gaps in your organization with highly skilled workers you are not able to find locally. These talented people can also be engaged for highly specialized, niche work that does not require a permanent hire, yet you still have the immediate need. By choosing from a plethora of geographies you can work in near real time or pass off work that can be done overnight to be ready for your team in the morning. Offshore resources also bring a wealth of experience and cultural perspective to your projects that you may not have considered. Whether you are just considering going global or looking to mitigate risk from single country exposure, we have a rich and diverse partner network and have done the due diligence and research to bring you best of breed solution providers around the planet.
Cybersecurity
Creating a ring fence around your organization does not provide the rich security companies need in today’s distributed world of work. We can start with simple threat assessment to identify the gamut of risks you face in this new world. We then engage with expert teams from our partner network that have the experience to provide advanced business protection for your employees and data. Single incident management and monitoring services from remote locations and time zones enhance your current staff in very beneficial ways. Looking for a full managed security and monitoring? We can put together the right team to provide this as a service. Let us take the worry out of what could be your worst experience and apply the right resources to protect your infrastructure, data and employees from the nefarious elements at work in today’s online world.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
Do you tell your customers the “system is slow,” while in reality the service representative is busy behind the scene logging into multiple systems to handle the call? Do your employees do tiresome repetitive lookups, copy/pastes, volume data transfers, or form filling as part of their jobs? These are just examples of the many inefficiencies that are out there today and frankly, are just plain shameful! These are obvious candidates for Robotic Process Automation. Companies in every industry use RPA to streamline their processes and raise quality. Some are taking RPA to higher levels by incorporating Analytics and AI. That combination can actually spot a thief before the fraud happens!
If you haven’t explored Robotic Process Automation technologies the time is now. Let Tek.Advisors help you get started. Our team knows the major platforms and tools, and we are good a picking the right ones for your needs. And if you are already down the RPA path, congratulations! We can help you get those bots under control, or turbo charge them with AI. Your customers and employees will be grateful.
The Internet of Things (IoT)
The $5.00 part fails. The machine stops. The manufacturing process is down. That sounds like Industry 0.0. How about a predictive solution that alerts the production manager to replace that part because it will likely fail in 24 hours? That’s Industry 4.0! Tek.Advisors has the expertise in IoT and communication technologies to help you save the day and get you on the fast track to Industry 4.0.
So how do you become SMART in 3 steps? 1) Use sensors that can see, smell, hear, feel, and sample constantly and with precision far beyond any human. 2) Collect a lot of bits of data and turn it into knowledge. 3) Use that knowledge and apply it to action. Whether your data comes from a phone, car, home, building, farm field, hospital, factory, street, city or highway, we know devices, IoT platforms, data, communication, AI, and cloud. Our network of experts can handle your challenge from R&D and proofs of concept to rapid launches. We even handle those really sophisticated ones where lives matter, like telematics, advanced driver warning, and vehicle-to-anything communication!
Customer Experience
The moment of truth is at hand. Your customer is judge and jury. What’s the verdict? That depends. Did you recognize that defining moment? Were you ready for it? If yes, you are on the path to a great customer experience and happy times. If no, everybody suffers. The customer isn’t fulfilled, and the company loses loyalty, a sale, or even worse that customer is so disgruntled, it rates the experience with a single star and a bad review. Been there done that, maybe on your website?
What if your customer is an internal employee or partner? There is nothing more deflating than rolling out a new application to find out that no one wants to adopt it because it is too hard to use.
We know every situation is different, and our team of experts can help. We use techniques like design thinking, experience design, and user interface/user experience (Ux/Ui) to define the journeys and “what good looks like.” Digital journeys are tricky. Personalization plays a role. So does a company’s digital readiness. We also know the road to great customer and user experience isn’t smooth, cheap, or paved in one day. There are potholes when systems don’t communicate, or bumps when data isn’t available, and dead ends where manual processes create delays. If this keeps you up at night, fear not. Our teams can help, and they don’t mind the dirty work. We have tools like RPA, data management, API’s, and custom development to get the job done.
Leading companies are incorporating artificial intelligence, machine learning, analytics, and data science into their experience paradigms to drive greater outcomes and seamless experiences across multiple channels like service, sales and marketing. These companies are successfully leveraging data to gain insights, predictability, sentiment, and other knowledge about their customers on their journeys.
Team Tek.Advisors is ready to help you win that defining moment!
Mixed reality
If a picture is worth a thousand words, augmented and virtual realities must be worth billions of words. Interactive experiences are cool! Today, the real and virtual worlds can interact to create compelling new environments. How about an architectural visualization of a proposed real estate development on an actual parcel of land complete with a 360-degree walkthrough, which then leads to the developer inking the deal? Or an immersive training experience for technical personnel without the need to buy expensive equipment?
Add in the realism and power of video gaming on high speed graphics processors, there are even more possibilities. The combination of all of these mixed reality technologies with 5G and more powerful and versatile mobile devices, we see endless potential for businesses to solve problems and create new ways of delivering experiences.
Tek.Advisors has a team of experts and avatars ready to help you get started. From R&D and prototypes to full solutions, we have the tools, talent and experience to make your reality a virtual one!
Product development acceleration
Is technical debt holding you back? Does your user interface look like it was coded in the 90’s? When you think about moving your application to the cloud, do you cringe in fear? Does your team do way too many things manually? When was the last time you did a full security test of the application?
If these questions keep you awake at night, the Tek.Advisors network can ease your mind. All of these things are within the realms of our network. Our experts can put together a combination of resources, local and offshore expertise, and methodology to help you crush your product development roadmap.
Platform selection & adoption
There’s one killer app that runs your business. It’s worked its way into every business function across your company. Maybe you wrote it, or maybe it’s a legacy app that you’ve customized to the point that you can’t update it. Now it’s insecure, can’t be maintained, and doesn’t support your changing business processes. It’s time for it to go.
Which of the leading platforms is the best fit for your business? How do you get unbiased advice on making this very important decision?
Our team of experts has been there, done that multiple times across a wide variety of industries and functions.

We also have a network of service providers specializing in most platforms that can help you get it built and launched. We can help you navigate the entire process from inception to go-live.

You need talented people quickly. We understand. We have built a network of technology service providers and independent technology consultants who know to deliver.

No guesswork, no worries. Tek.Advisors will help you get your positions filled with fewer headaches and less lag time.
Data strategy, development, & optimization
Is every meaningful piece of information in your organization on a spreadsheet on someone’s computer? Is the inconsistency in your data so rampant there are 11 versions of the truth roaming the hallway? Does the thought of building predictive models on your data make you cringe in fear?
Building a healthy data ecosystem in your business takes technical expertise and business experience that the Tek.Advisors network brings. We’ve worked with everything from “big data” applications to smaller organizations moving into a database environment for the first time. We can create for you the strategies and systems you need to turn your data into actionable information.
Cloud strategy, adoption, & optimization
The cloud is more than just hosting. Enablement technology from each cloud provider can accelerate your business and deliver capabilities your stakeholders will love. You know this isn’t easy. How do you navigate the decisions around your move or expansion to the cloud? Do you go platform-native, or is a multi-platform approach a better fit for your business? How does your existing data center fit into the equation? There are a host of important questions that need to be answered. Let Tek.Advisors ensure you that you’re asking the right questions and getting the answers you need. We’ll guide you through the selection process from business requirements to technology platform and security needs.
