Key Issues

• The client’s system downtime needed to be minimized and planned into production schedules weeks in advance.
• The company’s growing sales force demanded remote connectivity.
• Client and network security were critically important, especially after discovering network intrusions. 
• Real time electronic communication had also become a requirement in the client’s international marketplace.

Outcomes

• A network upgrade was planned and scheduled, and a clear, concise project plan was developed.
• The client work force arrived on the next business day to new workstation equipment, network resources, Internet access and e-mail.
• A comprehensive backup and disaster recovery plan was also implemented.
