Services

Digitalization is much more than just converting information into a digital format. It is the way to simplify and accelerate business processes. Services should be designed with respect to business demands. IT systems should at least support business processes. A good design of IT systems can even enable new business processes. The following services will help you transform business processes or an entire organization.

01

Business Services

Business services deal with organisational aspects of IT. Business services and IT systems are deeply integrated into each other. Both components are coordinated to ensure a structured design and operation of an IT infrastructure.

🗂️

IT Service Management

Information technology service management provides a framework to design, build, deliver, operate and control information technology services. ITIL is one of the models that is commonly used. IT service management is the foundation for a structured IT.

Security Assessment and Certification

Security is always a key aspect in network design and operation. A widely accepted security certificate is a way to demonstrate the security level that is implemented in an organisation. Security breaches can result in heavy losses of money and reputation.

Documentation

Documentation of processes and systems is the basis for a secure and reliable infrastructure. However documentation is often neglected and failures become obvious in emergency situations.

Application Services

Application services are located on top of infrastructure services. They can be regarded as programs that run on IT systems and use network infrastructure for communication. Application services provide interfaces to end users.

🔑

Active Directory Domain Administration

Active directory is the central database for user management and authentication in Microsoft domains. Other applications can be connected to active directory and provide single sign on. Furthermore applications can be deeply integrated into active directory with simplified administration as a result.

Development of Web Based Applications

Information centralization and distribution is easier when implemented independent of platforms and applications. Web based applications make it easy to gather and publish information for a large number of recipients. In most cases a database is used in the back-end to generate dynamic content.

Groupware Administration and Migration

Infrastructure Services

Infrastructure services are the basis for services on upper layers. Network infrastructure enables communication of IT systems.

Design of Converged Networks (Voice, Video, Data)

A converged network is the grouping of telephone, video and data communication within a single network. Advantages of converged networks are improved costs and IT resource productivity.

WAN and Remote Access

The number of employees working from home and usage of cloud applications in organisations constantly grows. WAN and remote access get higher priorities. Software defined WAN adds intelligence to static concepts.
