Information Technology Analysis

Circuit Board

Many small organizations face unique IT challenges, and nowhere is this more true than in Alaska. Limited funding and resources result in under-staffed tech departments that struggle to keep up, fixing problems as they occur, juggling aging and incompatible equipment, and coping with the inefficiencies of old hardware. These situations discourage preventive maintenance, delay research into new solutions, and hinder future planning, often leading to avoidable staff frustrations.

A third-party IT analysis of an organization is an effective tool to evaluate their current infrastructure, and can help to position IT staff for success. When seeking a grant for funding of technology related infrastructure or upgrades, an IT analysis may be required as part of the application process.

Information Insights offers IT analysis services tailored to fit the needs of small organizations. Our IT Consultants know the technology constraints and challenges in Alaska, and can help develop a roadmap to a stable and sustainable IT infrastructure. We work with organizations to find problem areas, research creative solutions, and provide a detailed analysis with recommendations for improvement.

Information Insights put a great deal of thought and work into this analysis and brought considerable expertise to the process. I look forward to discussing it with the Board and feel it can act as a blueprint for making some tough decisions.

Bristol Bay Region Visioning Project

April 28th, 2010

Information Insights will be helping Bristol Bay residents develop a region-wide vision. Five regional organizations – BBNC, BBNA, BBEDC, BBHA and BBAHC – are partnering to make the project happen. Information Insights will work to engage residents in every village in the region through community meetings to be held this fall and winter. At the meetings, Information Insights facilitators will seek to identify the underlying principles that unify the people of the region in order to develop a common vision that will give voice to their shared values. The visioning process will be transparent, neutral and inclusive for all residents of the region. Consensor™ audience response technology will be used to ensure that all participants have an equal voice. Lead project staff at Information Insights are senior consultants Sherry Modrow and Cady Lister and project consultants Jane Angvik and Dr. Steve Langdon. Other project staff include Brenda Holden, Chris Rogers and Jessica Holden. Jana Peirce will develop a project website and social media presence to reach out to younger Bristol Bay area residents.
