Keep your technical headcount under control.  Turn your specialist platform skills on and off as you need them by IT Outsourcing computer repair services…

We’ve all been there and Gardner Precision Technologies (GPT) is no exception.  Your business is growing hand over fist – but at this stage, can you really justify the permanent hiring of experts in every area you touch upon?  For some of the time at least, your most expensive assets would be sitting idle.

GPT offers a pragmatic alternative to risky, hard-to-reverse hirings.  We will simply supply the specialists you need, when you need them.  When the job’s done, they walk out of the door and straight off your balance sheet.

Maybe you start with a one-off assignment.  Then, if their face fits and your business grows to the point where it needs and can support more of their input, you can retain their services on an on-going basis.

Our Professional Services offering allows you to be selective with your critical appointments: Hire Expert A on a permanent footing, but let us supply Experts B and C on a respond-to-need basis until that need justifies a full-time employee.

As always, our aim is to be as flexible and accommodating as possible.  It’s how we built our reputation for matchless client service.  So we’ll be more than happy to tie the skills and services we provide into your Service Level Agreement (SLA).
