System Implementations

If the systems do not perform the way you wanted, we will look for the way to accomplish what you need without replacing the system.  We have been successful in tweaking the existing systems to perform to clients’ expectations, preserving cash flow and sparing them from a hassle of migration to a different product.  In cases when a system is not flexible, we will research available products that would work for you and provide you with 3 alternatives.  Then we implement the system of your choice.  The best part in this process is that Business Optimum is completely unbiased, as we neither represent nor sell a specific software product.

System Integrations

Often companies use multiple software products to operate the business.  Most companies use at least 3 products: CRM/ERP solution, GL package, and out-sourced Payroll.  Each product serves a different purpose, but it contains much of the same data such as customers, vendors, transactions, etc.  Disparate systems require double entry in each product, causing inefficiencies and bottlenecks in operations.  Such inefficiencies could be minimized or eliminated through integration of various software packages.

There are a few common methods to integrate.   One method involves a software product getting the data from the other software product, or writing the data to the other software product.  This is done automatically with a scheduled interval.  This is the best method and it is possible if such functionality or flexibility exists in the software.  Another method involves exporting the data from one piece of software and then importing this data into the other.  This is the second best, semiautomatic method.  It is significantly cheaper to implement, but it is not as efficient.

Networking

Backbone - Setup and configuration of routers and switches.
Internet - T-1, DSL, and Cable Modems setup.  Wired or wireless configuration.
Computers - Servers and Workstations setup and configuration.

Security

Firewalls - Hardware and Software Firewalls configuration.
Network Permissions - Data access restrictions.

Data Safeguarding

Backup - design and implementation of structured multilevel backup systems.
Imaging -  data backup alone is not sufficient; computers (both servers and workstations) must be imaged to quickly recover from crashes.
Redundancy - designed to significantly minimize the downtime.
Data Recovery - when the hard drive crashes, and you have important data on it, don’t through it away yet.  It could be recovered!
Password Recovery - if you forget the password, it could be recovered in many cases without loss of your data.
