Approach
Foxfire's aim is to make IT project initialisation as easy
and straightforward as possible. Most businesses lack experience
of the technical infrastructure their business depends on
and staff don’t have time to learn. It’s hard to provide an
accurate estimate without knowing the right parameters for
the job.
Foxfire's answer is a budget orientated approach. The customer
has a list of required deliverables and knows how much they
are are prepared to spend. Foxfire works to realise their
requirements and deliver within budget. We will tailor solutions,
revise services, adjust hardware specifications and investigate
efficient licensing strategies, all in order to reduce the
end cost to the our customers. Corners aren't cut and costs
aren't so far reduced that risks are created for the future.
