    • Hosting SolutionsWe have a comprehensive perspective of what an IT product can be. The challenge with IT products is that they require constant change and upgrading while the price of goods change quickly and performance needs expand.
  • ServicesInformation technology consulting (IT consulting, Computer consultancy, Computing consultancy, technology consulting or business and technology services) is a field that focuses on advising businesses on how best to use information technology to meet their business objectives.
    • Managed ServicesOnce your system is up and running, any problems that are slowing you down need to be handled quickly and efficiently. Managed services means that we do the work, including the design, setup, troubleshooting, monitoring and fixing of the following technology services: Spam and Virus Filtering Email spam and viruses are the weeds in your Internet communication garden. It is critical that you have the right filters in place to screen these out from your email flow before they damage productivity. You can tailor your spam filter however you like, filter an entire domain or individual emails, and can decide where those spam emails go so they don’t interfere with your day-to-day business activities. Let Habitusnet set up your accounts so that they are completely protected, allowing you to focus on communication rather than keeping your e-mail clean. Server Monitoring In business, as in life, it is better to be proactive than reactive.  Habitusnet’s network and server monitoring service watches out for performance degradations and potential failures. Proactive network and server monitoring locate and allow you to correct problems before they affect your business, not after. This was, you prevent small problems from becoming larger ones.

    • On-Call Technology OfficerThink beyond keeping things running A successful business needs more than maintenance, and IT is about more than keeping your systems running. Having the right IT strategy can transform your company from a follower into a leader. You need someone who’s looking ‘two curves ahead’ to foresee what developments in technology might mean for your business. Who within your business: – formulates medium and long-term technology strategies and plans for growth? – takes a senior-level approach to information and data integrity across the company? – understands how technological changes can affect other aspects of the business: client communications, marketing, compliance? – envisions ways in which IT becomes a profitable part of your business instead of a drain on your resources? Executive-level technology expertise on-call Your company can reap the benefits of this kind of executive-level thinking without hiring a full-time Chief Information Officer. Our on-call Technology Officer service offers dedicated focus on your business needs and an overview of your systems and strategy while keeping to the budget that you set. On a simple level, you need to make sure you have enough resources and make the right technology choices to allow your business to grow and prosper. Beyond that,…
    • Technology AuditAsk yourself Is your business getting what it needs from technology? Is your IT working for you? Are you missing out on something that could transform the way you do business? Our tech audits help you to identify the weaknesses in your business systems, with the goal of improving how you work now and avoiding costly and time-consuming problems in the future. What’s stopping you from getting where you want to go? As well as fundamental business continuity issues, we will analyse your IT in the light of your business goals and work with you to align them. ●  What are you spending too much time on? ●  What are your biggest IT headaches? ●  How effectively can your staff collaborate with each other? ●  How well can you communicate with customer and suppliers? ●  How can customers and potential customers get in touch with you? ●  Where are the weakest links? Is there a single point of failure? ●  Do your staff know how to use the technology you’ve got in ways that maximises the company’s potential? ●  Can employees work remotely if they need to? ●  Have you got sufficient disaster recovery planning? Which applications and data does your business…
    • Smart SourcingThe role of IT in business has changed in the last 5 years. The growth of cloud computing, the post-PC era, ubiquitous Internet and Infrastructure as a Service is transforming the way people do business, and how they deal with their business technology.   IT is no longer only about managing hardware and making sure the servers stay running – it’s increasingly focused around service, contract, risk and liability management. This doesn’t mean any middle-tier manager can do the job, though. In information technology and service contracts, the devil is in the detail. What you need is someone with the right mix of technical expertise, diverse experience and business acumen.   Smart sourcing means making the right decisions about outsourcing and cloud services for your business. How do you avoid getting ‘locked in’ to long-term, restrictive contracts that become too costly? Where is your data stored and who has access to it? Why is there such a difference in price offerings? What are the legal implications of storing data in the cloud? What’s the difference between a public and private cloud? Which is the right choice for you? Or what is the right balance? Should you buy software licenses or…
    • Profitable ITAdded-value technology Imagine the surprise when you turn IT into a revenue-producer. Now you have the opportunity to do just that. Take a series of steps to make your company more competitive and more responsive to your customers. Today’s technology landscape is complex but tremendously exciting. We can help you identify the areas which you can use to benefit your business and become a leader in your field.      
    • Global Access, Global OperationsPeople now work from wherever they need to, using what they have: company laptops, smartphones, tablet devices, their home PC. For an IT department, managing and securing numerous end devices and access points soon becomes over-complex and costly. Virtual computing frees employees and IT from the constraints of traditional computing, turning IT into an on-demand service, and putting people – not datacenters – at the center. At the same time, IT is able to focus on key business value – delivering business-critical services, maintaining availability and limiting risk. Meanwhile, employees who are free to work wherever and whenever, on whatever device they choose tend to deliver great results and enjoy an effective balance between career and family. Your business becomes more agile, sees increased employee engagement and retention, lowers overheads and reduces its carbon footprint. First steps How can you benefit from technologies such as virtualization and cloud computing? What are the costs and risks? 1. Look at where you are right now, and find out what’s holding you back Book a technology audit or use our self-service guide to evaluate your current situation. 2. Consider your key requirements Data storage and transfer; collaboration within and outside of the company;…
    • Digital Asset ProtectionThe balancing act: access and security The key technological developments of the last few years  have brought both great benefits to businesses and at the same time, enormous challenges. With the emergence of virtualization, increased data portability and global cloud infrastructures, it is increasingly difficult to guarantee where your data is and who can access it. Your digital assets are vital to your business: files, emails, confidential customer and employee information, business plans, financial data, product specifications. Where, who, what and what if? Just as you take out insurance to cover the risk of what might happen in your daily lives, you need to make sure that you have considered aspects of what may affect your digital world: – location: where is your data stored and what are the legal implications of physical location of data? – access: who can read, copy, move or delete your data? – business continuity: what measures should you take to avoid data loss and to minimise loss of revenue and working time if you can’t get to your data or systems? – loss or theft of mobile devices – succession planning for business owners and entrepreneurs: who in your company has access to key…
    • Technology InsightsStaying ahead of the game Anything on the topic of ‘Technology Insights’ quickly gets outdated. The tech world changes rapidly and moves on to the next big thing. It’s vital to be able to ‘separate the wheat from the chaff’: identify the truly valuable, innovative products and directions, and avoid the fads. For business owners, it’s time- and resource-intensive to keep up with technological advances that may be relevant to their industry. It’s tempting to dismiss the hype and stick with what you know, but now and then a new direction can open up that could really transform your business. This is where a technology consultant can show their value. It’s our job to keep up to date with what’s going on and more importantly, what could be interesting or lucrative opportunities for our clients. Whenever we follow technology news, monitor Twitter and RSS feeds, test software betas, sign up for trial accounts to new products, we’re considering them in the light of how they could benefit our customers. Small businesses are in a competitive arena and need every advantage that they can find. If there is an application that can help you be more productive, share and collaborate with clients…

MS Patch Tuesday & the urgent, critical patches

BlogBy AgustinMarch 16, 2012Leave a comment

Microsoft people frequently refer to this joyous day as “Patch…
