About Trenchant Systems
Trenchant Systems is the result of pooling experience gained through consulting and operations management on behalf of many orginsations. Trenchant Systems was founded by Jason Simmons who throughout his career as a consultant, noticed that the Information Technology industry is diverting from its original purpose of adding value to business management. The industry has become very product oriented rather than solution oriented.
“People buy drills not because they like buying drills, they buy
drills because they need to hang a picture, or install a light fitting.
It’s all about the requirement, rather than the product.”
With this in mind he established a number of working methodologies and technologies
to ensure that every solution is based on the requirements of the business,
to make sure that the solution fits the organisation. Jason has infused a
wealth of experience into Trenchant Systems, which were developed while working
for
companies such as Hughes Network Systems, PSION, EDS, and Lucent Netcare.
Business oriented IT solutions
Running a successful business has become a lot harder than say 10 years
ago. We are all taking advantage of the opportunities presented to us by
the global market, and we also have to deal with the disadvantages.Competition
is fiercer and margins are a lot tighter. Business owners have to manage
costs more effectively and find innovative ways to operate. Innovation
and experimentation are key enablers for any business.
Information Technology was used in the past to gain an advantage over competitors who were still struggling to process information, and were still following manual paper based procedures.Today, Information Technology systems are prevalent in businesses of all sizes. This means the key to obtaining advantage over your competition is not the possessing of Information Technology, but how well you exploit it.
Running Information Technology systems is also proving to be an increasing cost for many business owners. This is due to the cost of securing these systems from vandalism and fraud. The cost of licensing these products from manufacturers also adds considerable strain.
Therefore scaling your business can prove prohibitive. The overall effect is that Information technology has become a burden directly on the bottom line of business. The gains achieved in the past, are now harder to attain. Business owners now spend a considerable amount of time managing Information technology, rather than utilising it. This drains resources, and distracts from the main purpose of the business.
For these reasons, organisations turn to the services of Trenchant Systems. All of our solutions are provided with the aim of giving you advantage by being oriented around your business. What distinguishes Trenchant Systems is that we sell solutions, not products.
