Business Challenges

Are your employees spending extra time looking through disparate sources of information to be able to handle a -single- customer request? Are you or your employees making business decisions based on reports that aren't as accurate & current as you need them to be? Do you find yourself shuffling your schedule around because you lack visibility of your sales team's appointments? Is your customers' private information secure? Are the 500 credit card transactions your business processes every week secure? Is Christina down in sales spending more time on Facebook than following up on customer leads? Is Alex over in marketing downloading mp3's from bit-torrent or kazaa and unknowingly spreading viruses and spyware all over your network?

The biggest challenges facing today's small & medium businesses are operational efficiency and cost containment. And bottom-line translates to doing more with less.

Businesses often acquire technology addressing immediate business concerns with the least expensive solutions available. Using this ad hoc approach to technology acquisition often results in an unwieldy solution that is difficult to manage, doesn't integrate with new technologies & applications, and doesn't scale for your business's growth. This approach increases the operational costs & management complexity of your network, often erasing any short-term savings derived from these poorly designed solutions.

It is vital to have a strong foundation for any business to be successful and that is exactly what these services address. We examine the business as it exists today, looking at the business processes and the technology infrastructure currently in place.

 

Backup Services

Whats the most important part of any company's IT department? Is it the servers? The firewalls? NO! Its your data; the foundation of your company's day to day business. If you do nothing else for your company, at the very least, protect your data. Whether its hardware failure, user error, or file corruption, all the leading causes of data loss can be avoided by having a solid backup strategy that it closely monitored by an IT professional.

Security Services

Security breaches into your company's information assets are a constantly growing threat. With the leading cause of infected systems being a direct result of user behavior, usually done without their knowledge or permission, it is clear that the easist systems to infect are those that remain unguarded. Hacker techniques and malware delivery mechanisms are continuously evolving; as a result companies that have blindly relied on unmonitored security programs to protect against the myriad of security threats are now experiencing how unforgiving the wakeup call truly is.
