Network Design, Implementation & Support

Business owners and managers are not always aware of what technologies are available to them. Improper scope and design, inadequate hardware and software purchases, and uncontrolled spending can cause a network implementation to end in disaster.

Archi-TECH-ture assists clients with addressing technology concerns and business needs early in the network design process. We assist management with identifying technology requirements and priorities, designing the proper network solution, and managing the project to ensure implementation success. A support program is then developed to reduce avoidable issues and address unexpected problems.

Monthly Support

Most businesses are reactive when it comes to addressing technology issues. Attention is given to technology needs only when a problem arises. This may be due to limited available resources or business prioritization.

In today's business environment, being reactive costs much more than just fixing the technology problem. Network downtime, lost productivity, and the inability to provide services to clients can make a simple technology issue very expensive.

Archi-TECH-ture assists clients with becoming more proactive. We create customized programs that address key areas of technology support to prevent avoidable downtime and performance issues. During scheduled visits, a checklist of services designed for your business verifies the network is stable, reliable, efficient, and secure. If problems are detected during the proactive visit, a corrective action plan is created to quickly resolve the problems before they have a negative impact.

Internet Connectivity

In today's business environment, it is almost mandatory for businesses to be connected to the Internet. Since there are many different Internet connectivity options, many businesses struggle with the decision. In addition, employee Internet abuse, email confidentiality, and security concerns become issues when a business is connected to the Internet.

Archi-TECH-ture assists clients with identifying the most effective Internet solution that will provide appropriate speeds, Internet activity filtering and monitoring, email solutions, and security measures.

Wide Area Networks

Wide Area Network (WAN) services are available to clients with data communication needs that extend outside of their main office. This includes communications over the Internet, communication between multiple locations, and vendor specific communication requirements.

Archi-TECH-ture assists clients with developing a communication strategy that addresses the needs and requirements of all parties involved. Determining the appropriate telecommunication vendors, communication equipment specifications, and necessary speed requirements are key to a successful WAN implementation.

Remote User Access

The demand for a mobile workforce is becoming greater each day. Businesses recognize that a flexible workforce may allow them to provide services unavailable in a traditional office. However, business owners and managers do not know the best way to accomplish this.

Archi-TECH-ture assists clients with creating a business model that utilizes the advantages of a mobile workforce. Laptops, virtual home offices, PDA's, and other solutions are used to keep employees connected to the office while out servicing clients.
