We at Design-PT owe our success in large part to our non-profit customers. In 2000, we began by solely
supporting non-profits and our success spread by word of mouth. Our experience with non-profits drove us to
improve our business model by becoming simple, lean and mission driven.
The Design-PT (DPT) business model, which arose from our time working with non-profits, has helped us grow and effectively
support clients in other industries.
DPT continues to support non-profits and specializes in providing full IT network and application management,
disaster recovery and business continuity planning, application and website development, project management, and
more. Below are a few key areas we continue to specialize in for our non-profit clients.
Standardized IT Support Services
Basic IT support services, such as day-to-day network and application support, should be relatively simple.
Too often, IT becomes a struggle and more costly than originally anticipated. IT should help businesses achieve
their goals faster and with ease. At DPT, we commoditize basic IT support whenever possible. We reorganize and
update networks to fit a standardized model, saving our clients time and money.
Customized Application and Website Development
DPT offers expert developers who are proficient in both Microsoft and open-source (Linux) technologies.
Experienced in working on both small and large development projects, our developers are adept in software
development best practices.
IT Strategy Development
Our consultants develop solid IT strategies for organizations based upon growth projections and long term needs.
All of our strategies are built to fit our customers' missions and we take great care in developing strategies
aligned to fit our customers' needs.
Asset and Knowledge Management Services
DPT offers a proprietary asset and knowledge management repository for customers utilizing our standardized
IT support services. Our asset management tool tracks physical and logical technology assets. In addition,
this tool includes a detailed knowledge database with information on our standardized network model. Access to
our asset and knowledge management tool is included in our standardized IT support service and is also available
as a separate service.
Third Party Consulting Support for Large IT Expenditures or Decisions
As businesses grow and additional IT support is required, there is an increased need for higher level
consultation. DPT offers consultants who are adept at choosing technology solutions that will scale
appropriately for our customers. We offer third party oversight and project management for large projects, as
well as independent reviews of technology decisions.
