Process and Partners
When you begin working with 3 Tree Tech, we first assess your current technology debt, bringing in key partners to integrate the technologies that are on your mind right now. This is your “plumbing” which could be network connectivity, voice services, mobility, data center, cloud, infrastructure, custom software development, or security.
Offload your due diligence and architecture.
Our tech scouts are your IT R&D department. Starting with your company goals and growth plans, you see a full 360° view of your technology landscape, understand what isn’t integrated, know how to avoid silos and overlap.
The process then seamlessly moves to architecture, ensuring long-term growth, and best of all, nothing breaks that was already working! Darn gremlins.
Five Filters
To truly empower you, the partners we introduce you to must go through our five filters. The first four are technology, process, financials, and people. The fifth filter is your unique needs and goals.
Technology
Whether it’s using machine learning or artificial intelligence (ML/AI), all solutions and technologies should be incorporating the ability to do more with less through automating as many functions where possible. ML/AI aren’t a requirement for disruptive or differentiated technology, but it is an area that gives us a starting point when digging into the machinations of solutions or services.
Process
Growing best-of-breed technology requires ever-evolving processes, whether that is through iterative product management and development or customer experience informed through all encompassing feedback. Differentiated tech out works and out performs its competition.
Financials
All technologies have some risk associated with company size, support, architecture, people, existing integrations, but none can weather substantial financial risk. Any enterprise leader needs to anticipate all aspects of risk and understanding a technology company’s funding strategy, assets, and debts. Do the tea leaves indicate whether a company’s intent is to grow big and go public or to structure EBITDA to attract buyers?
People
Almost more important than finances and processes are the people at a company. Everyone from the visionaries to the operators; a successful company is dependent more on the people than on the technology. All technology is eventually copied and loses its uniqueness, but the companies that succeed amongst other similar tech are differentiated by the people.
Your current goals and infrastructure
You are the most important filter. Our research, consulting, and resources are considered a cost of business and there is never a charge for this time. Yes. We said NEVER a charge for our time. Some clients have been with us for years and haven’t spent a dime!
