Solutions and Process Above Industry Standards

Since we understand that technology is the platform for our client's operations we take the greatest care in the solutions we choose and the process we take. The hardware and software involved in our implementations are time tested, completely accepted by the IT industry and supported by warranties from the vendors.

All our projects are scrutinized by our internal technology commitee and managed from begining to end by your own personal integration team with a dedicated project manager. No matter what the size or complexity of the project, we always ensure that the proper technical expertise, accountability and checks and balances are in place to meet your business project goals.

Our high level process is as follows:

• Design
  • Review the client's goals and requirements
  • Prepare the solution and high level implementation plan
  • Review the project with any third parties related to the client's IT infrastructure
  • Create the project plan and scope of work for approval
  • Acquire the necessary equipment and schedule the resources
• Deliver
  • Create the technical checklist for internal approval
  • Pre-configure and test all equipment
  • Notify all staff affected and educate them on the coming changes
  • Perform the onsite implementation
• Debrief
  • Standby support for the staff on the first day of business after the implementation
  • Environment audit by Project Manager
  • Project review meeting with stakeholders
  • Documentation of the changes
