Information Technology Analysis
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.

Information Insights and the Cold Climate Housing Research Center are partnering to conduct a survey of Fairbanks residents on how they plan to cope with high energy costs this winter.
The survey will be conducted in two parts, an initial survey this fall to gather information about how residents are planning to handle the rising cost of energy, and a follow-up survey in the spring to find out how higher energy costs actually impacted residents.

We announced this survey at the Greater Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 during a Chamber Spotlight on Information Insights.

Study Released: Role of Oil and Gas in Alaska’s Economy
June 30th, 2008
The Alaska Oil and Gas Association (AOGA) released a study today on the role of oil and gas in Alaska’s economy. Information Insights and the McDowell Group collaborated on the research, which used 2007 industry data to update a study the two firms published in 2001. The 2008 report expands on the earlier work quantifying the economic role of the oil and gas industry on specific regions within the state including the Municipality of Anchorage, FNSB, KPB, Mat-Su Borough, North Slope Borough, and the Valdez region, and examining direct, indirect and induced economic effects of the industry in these regions and communities. Brian Rogers presented the study findings at the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce’s Monday Forum. An overview of the results appears on the AOGA website. Download the full report (large file).
