Consulting and Ad-Hoc Support

Aside from the everyday maintenance of computer systems, companies are periodically faced with any number of technical issues which hamper them. When in-house expertise has been exhausted, we can provide short term engagements for specific projects, or troubleshooting as the need arises. We are typically called upon by professional services companies to maintain periodic software updates, analyse and repair system faults, deploy network services, integrate new and legacy systems, and generally solve a range of other curly problems.

Drawing from the experience of our staff we are able to cope with a wide variety of different computer systems, networks and organisations.

• Windows Servers (all versions)
• Windows Desktops/Laptops (all versions)
• Mac OSX
• Linux (all distros – key strength is in RedHat/CentOS)
• IP Networks (including VPN, traffic queueing/prioritisation, IPSEC)
• Network Equipment (Routers and switches from Cisco, Netgear, Nortell, Snapgear, Linksys, etc)
• Firewalls (PIX, Firewall1, iptables, ASA, SonicWall, etc)
• Sun/Solaris
• Databases (MSSQL, MySQL, Postgresql)
• Java, C, C++, Perl, Python, PHP, sh etc.

In addition to our technical skills, the experience gained by our consultants during engagements with Fortune 500 companies, Federal Government and other large scale clients enables us to transfer best practice in IT Strategy and Policy management to our clients.

Frequent and ongoing support is better handled by one of our Support Contracts.
