Network Implementation

From designing a network to correcting errors with an existing installation, IMS has the capability to bring your network up to speed. A network diagram is often required for larger networks, or for Internet connectivity. We have the background and experience to design and install a reliable network, including network electronics such as hubs, routers, bridges, repeaters and more.

Technology Planning

Investments in information technology can be directly visible to your customer. The dedication your company puts toward your computer network is vital to the productivity and success of your business. How closely is what your company produces associate to working, productive PCs or a network? What operations within your organization would benefit from a well designed and implemented and implemented technology plan? Is your network reliable, or do you have too much downtime? Are you using document management and other collaborative services, or do you wonder what those computer geeks mean by these terms?

We can work with you to develop a technology strategy and help with its implementation. In the preparation of a technology plan, we meet with your staff to determine the exact needs of your organization with respect to computer networking, software and hardware. An inventory is taken of the hardware and software currently used by the firm. The physical installation of the network is inspected, along with a review of the configuration of existing workstations and file servers.

A plan is then prepared that outlines the options for the company, along with their associated investment requirements. Cost management is a key part of the consulting service offered by IMS. Estimated investment requirements are outlined in this report. The report also includes physical network design, recommendations for hardware purchases, disaster recovery plans, etc.
