   Network Design

A network is the basic structure that enables computers to share information. If you don't have a network or your network is not performing properly, you are not taking advantage of all the capabilities that your computers can offer. A poorly designed or over-utilized network can degrade the performance of everyone's workstations. The PinPoint Group is experienced at providing network design services. We have designed, upgraded, and implemented networks for many clients in many different industries. We will evaluate your network environment and work with you to understand your individual networking requirements. Then we can provide a recommendation that will meet those needs.

Internet Integration

The growth of the Internet has revolutionized business. It is a requirement to be able to browse the web, e-mail customers, and provide product information to your customers through the Web. If you're not currently connected to the Internet, we can help get you started. The cost of Internet connections has been decreasing very quickly. If you have a high speed circuit that is more than 12 months old, you should reevaluate the cost of that connection. We will help you find the best connection for your money that meets your requirements.

Virtual Private Networks

Virtual Private Networks (VPN's) have become a reliable, cost-effective method of linking branch offices and enabling remote users to have high-speed, low-cost connections into your network. We have implemented VPN's for home users, small businesses, and large companies. Utilizing existing connections, we can create secure links over the Internet. These secure services can exit between any two machines connected to the Internet. So, for very little cost, we can connect offices in Seattle, Tampa Bay, Rochester, and San Francisco. We can connect home users to their office networks for telecommuters. We can also enable users who travel to establish connections to their local network by utilizing local ISP's with no long distance charges. The list of VPN applications is a long one.

Projects and Migrations

The PinPoint Group will assist you in rolling out upgrades or new services to your organization. Projects often require a high level of resources for a short amount of time. The staff at PPG will leverage their experience with other companies to help guide your projects, and they will provide the resources that you need to execute a project as planned. Whether they're storing customer data or processing your email, your network servers provide services to all of your clients; therefore they are critical to your business operation. Maintaining your servers at current software and hardware levels is important. The PinPoint Group can assist you with finding the right servers for your current and future requirements and provide the hardware and licensing that you need. We have an extensive knowledge of server platforms that are used in both Enterprise and Workgroup environments. The PinPoint Group will also advise you on how to use tools to improve your efficiency and lower operational costs. We recently assisted a client with setting up Symantec Ghost Enterprise to reduce to 10 minutes the task of loading all the necessary software on a new machine. Additionally, we implemented a recurring cloning process that ensures that the software on their manufacturing machines is always fresh and configured properly. This virtually eliminates downtime on their production line caused by workstation failures.

Strategy

One of the most important activities that an IT Manager is responsible for is planning the progression of technology within your company. We have assisted many companies with this by building IT Strategy Plans, performing exhaustive evaluations, and providing operational documentation. We have had experience with many different companies and industries, and we can leverage that experience to provide you with a strategic plan for your organization. Case Study - MDS
