Infinite Group has carved out a sizeable niche market for itself alleviating the strain on SMEs, governmental agencies, and even large enterprises created by increasingly complex and mission-critical IT concerns. The company provides its customers with robust end-to-end IT solutions, ranging from assessment and planning, to integration and management. IMCI is one of the top providers of solutions based on the cloud/virtualization technology pioneered by the guys who were the first to virtualize the x86 architecture, VMware®. IMCI is also notable for having heavyweight government clients like NASA and the USAF (as well as the other service branches), in addition to a healthy variety of sizeable industry players like HP, Pepsi, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and Home Depot.
Armed with an expert staff of professionals that can design and execute custom tailored solutions on a per-client basis, IMCI never shies away from any job, no matter how big or how small, meeting the needs equally well of huge enterprises and sprawling government agencies, or humble little businesses with only a few computers. The value proposition is simple, IMCI allows a company to confidently outsource their IT to a highly responsive and sophisticated provider that can virtualize environments and take the burden off internal personnel. Personnel who many times (especially in the case of SMEs) end up pulling double duty and thus lose focus on growing the company. IMCI’s real selling point to the customers who drive the company’s bottom line is their ability to really do it all and just let customers basically stop worrying about the details of the technically complex IT toolset they need to get the job done. On-site support to customers is a major key to IMCI’s success and their history of providing IT support at forward military installations, as well as prime locations throughout the U.S., like Colorado Springs; Vienna, VA and Washington, DC, attests to the level of professionalism that is just standard operating procedure at Infinite Group.
The company’s secure, scalable cloud computing offerings are particularly attractive to the likes of government agencies that are looking to get leaner and meaner in the IT department. Whether we are talking off-site data storage and desktop virtualization, or server virtualization and public/private hybrid cloud, customers have the advantage of turning their complex in-house solutions into a simple monthly line item on the budget. The exclusive channel partner agreement announced in early July this year with ThirtySix Software, the developer of the innovative, multi document-spanning content management/reuse solution for Microsoft® Word® (and the web-app framework SharePoint), SmartDocs, makes IMCI even more appealing to government customers in particular. With SmartDocs in the tool belt, IMCI effectively extends their striking distance among Word/SharePoint customers in general, as these customers gain the highly sought after ability to consistently and easily share/reuse content across documents whenever and wherever, yet within a secure and highly intuitive environment. This is an environment which sports tight Word integration and features like conditional text marking, SmartFinders (rapidly find authored/approve content), SmartBuilders (interview-style wizard that automatically assembles documents) and snapshotting for rapid publish prototyping. For government agencies, this kind of no-brainer upgrading to improved usability in their IT infrastructure is vital, as it improves data flow among personnel, as well as systemic reliability and efficiency, all of which impact the mission.
Many private companies have their IT managed by internal people, often leading to inefficient internet, telephone and other communication systems emerging, typically due to a relative lack of experience or an inability to implement properly scaled/modernized solutions. Moreover, having to manage such a complex aspect of the guts of the business generally distracts key personnel from being able to otherwise focus time, resources and manpower on growing the core of the business model. This sad state of affairs is an all-too-common phenomena these days as IT becomes more and more complicated. The steady growth of this problem creates tremendous opportunities for a company like IMCI.
Another recent partnership which allows IMCI to punch further above its weight is the one with rising star of the IT protection and disaster recovery world, Unitrends, whose tailored data protection capabilities encompass off-site cloud, as well as virtual appliance, and hardware appliance solutions. Unitrends is focused on offering a hearty mix of methodologies that allows for a more customized protection and recovery solution fit to the specific customer’s needs. Unitrends is also Channel Partner-centric as an organization, thriving off precisely this sort of team up.
The Unitrends/ Infinite Group partnership creates an opportunity for IMCI customers to do unprecedentedly simplified multi-environment protection of their critical data and customer retention for the duo will likely be driven here in large part by the tight testing, verification and reporting protocols from Unitrends that ensure customer’s ability to restore operational functionality in the event of a disaster. This kind of over-the-horizon protection also allows C-Level executives, as well as compliance auditors, to muster force in the face of a potential disaster and head off any major costs associated therewith at the pass.
