Auditing and Consulting Services
Computers are indispensable tools in many modern businesses and when the
system goes down, so does productivity. How can you be sure that your essential
system is going to be up and running tomorrow? Our audit process enables
you to have confidence in your system, and our consulting services will
assist you in maintaining business flexibility and planning for your future
growth.
Security and Disaster Recovery
We can provide protection to your systems to minimise the constant threat
from viruses, worms and the like through the use of both physical and
electronic means and ensure reliable protection. In the advent of fire,
flooding, or other disaster, it is essential to have a well documented
DR plan, which can reduce the possibility of data loss, and hasten
the process of re-establishing business operations.
Hardware and Equipment Specification
For most projects, the system requirements will be based on the client’s
needs analysis and will be defined in the solution specification. An
engineer will utilise capacity planning to determine the physical requirements
of the servers and infrastructure, and a prepare both a logical network
/ dataflow diagram and a technical specification which can be utilised
for the tendering process.
Software and Systems Integration
Utilising off-the-shelf software is the preference for most modern businesses;
TCO is low and reliability and compatibility are high. Through the

the existing business processes.
