2. “Today, businesses are exposed to a globalized world of
increasingly competitive and aggressive markets.
This new reality requires corporations to seek their own
niche while adapting to the vast changes they continually
face.
The modern organization’s success depends on
understanding its mission, strengths and advantages,
and its management’s capacity to guide it in an
ever-changing world.
It is to these concerned organizations
and their leaders – that we are committed.”

ARDIZ™ Enterprise leads its services and capabilities to enable companies to
meet the competitive challenges of this century.
We propose alternatives to corporate cultures to integrate internal activities
with external actions, to project a coherent business proposition for the
current society and for the virtual community.
The business climate develops; its natural environment becomes hostile and
faces unknown or uncontrollable challenges.
The human capital evolves progresses, adapts or withdraws, making it
necessary to examine permanently companies’ internal structures, as well as
their technological strategic applications.
Today’s corporations face mission-critical challenges, that will place
leadership, profits and sometimes, corporate survival at stake.
We understand the forces that impact businesses from competition
and regulatory demand, to cost controls and diffusion of converging
technologies in every economic endeavor.
The parameters required by a manufacturer seeking globalization
are different from a financial service institution.
Therefore, each enterprise deserves a “unique creative” approach.
Today’s corporation are facing not only new production challenges, more
aggressive global competitors, more creative products, but more educated,
sophisticated and cultural diversify customers, eager to experience
innovative product available in the market every day.
In the other hand, corporations are forced to continuous investments to
update its plants, personnel, technology, production and distribution to
satisfy a more demanding, mobile, sophisticated clientele, 24/7.
The current corporate dilemma, maintain its current customer’s base, in
front of the dashing of the diversified multinational companies who compete
in their natural markets, and the other, is to enhance its growth through a
creative business development and utilizing the latest technologies to
answer the mobile and on demand market trend.
.
We call this inter-weaving business environment, ENTERPRISE

application of the state-of-the-art technological resources to consolidate
all enterprise activities.
Our proven experience includes the conception, design and building of
multiple networks in the Latin-American countries.
We structure from critical-mission enterprises to total or hybrid networks,
with very tight security measurements in a variety of applications - from
airlines, travel agencies, financial institutions, utilities, government - to
public networks.
By itself, technology will not create a competitive advantage, but when it
effectively serves business strategies, corporate benefits are enormous.
Only after intensive examination and refining can technology
bring dramatic efficiencies across the board.
The Technology sectors remain highly dynamic in terms of competitive
structure, purchasing behaviors, contract structures and value propositions -
with a blurring of the boundaries between IT infrastructure, software,
services and main stream BPO.
At the heart of our work is a profound understanding of technology
buyer's needs and purchasing behaviors, including their technology
adoption strategies, deployment/replacement planning, vendor selection
and feature requirements.
We use this customer-centric thinking to help our sell-side clients adapt their
sales and service propositions to emerging realities, as the technology buy-
side becomes ever more dependent on robust and flexible technical
infrastructures.
There are two critical success factors for generating sustainable growth:
Attracting new customers by providing a compelling value proposition, and
second, transforming them into loyal regulars. But what is a compelling
value proposition?
How do we identify the relevant issues and appropriate levers in a company?
Technology is changing the landscape, bringing new opportunities and
tough challenges. Audiences are learning that they have more control;
advertisers are demanding more responsiveness.
With old business models under threat, companies must optimize
core businesses while thinking fast about the future.
