When we act as
the focal point, we take on the responsibilities
that demands attention for detail. From Pre-Project planning
through implementation, we drive the project from start to finish
and ease your mind of the day-to-day tasks and deadlines.
- Leveraging I.T. to create a competitive
edge
Over the past decade, the pace of information technology
advances has skyrocketed, providing a myriad of technology
strategies, options and approaches. But which technologies
provide businesses with a technological competitive edge, and
which ones are technology sinkholes? Let Where To Start
Technology Solutions guide you and your organization through
this labyrinth of choices.

Manage I.T.
at the pace of
technology advances
We always comment how fast technology changes in our
industry, but the reality is that we are all becoming the
victims of the advances in technology that outpaces our ability
to budget, implement, and support the technologies. Determine
which of the strategies used by companies large and small will
address your service and support options and keep up with the
changes in technology. Solutions include asset and network
management, strategic partnering, automated software updates and
distribution, selected outsourced services, and total lifecycle
leases.

Security solutions
Modern operating
systems include security technologies that can be used by
administrators to do everything from file encryption all the way
through fully locked down end-to-end Cardkey-based encryption
and encapsulation systems. What is the right amount of security
to apply that provides enterprise-wide security, but does not
create a Helpdesk bottleneck as users have troubles accessing
their own information files?

Business Continuance
planning
Going beyond RAID hard drives, Tape drives, and UPS backup
power. Businesses need to do continuity and disaster recovery planning
and implement options to ensure a truly
24x7x365 environment. Strategies applied to the infrastructure
to protect against failures of servers (hard drives, power
supplies, error correcting memory), network infrastructure (LAN
and WAN connectivity), Internet communications (email and
hosting operations), and facilities access (building access and
employee system access redundancy). Business continuance should
included proactive monitoring and alerting, active/active server
clustering, network load balancing, hierarchical storage
management, and distributed file systems.
