Our Services

Professional services firms exist in many different industries. They include lawyers, advertising professionals, architects, accountants, financial advisers, engineers, and consultants, among others. Basically, they can be any organization or profession that offers customized, knowledge-based services to clients. Professional services firms sell knowledge and expertise – not tangible, physical products.

While professional service managers stress quality and productivity, they can't standardize or 'mass-produce' their services. As a services firms, we must spend time and energy coaching our teams – and actively ensure that the most talented professional stay with us . Without expert professionals and a strong reputation of success, we will firm may fail. Unlike a consultant, who may only be responsible for providing advice, a professional service provider may also be responsibility for the end result.

When customers are evaluating a professional service provider, they often gather and evaluate information about the provider from a variety of sources. Typically, such efforts include checking out the professional service provider's website, the professional service provider's web presence and recommendations on social media websites as well as referrals from other customers that the provider has supplied.

As businesses have become more digitized, IT professional services have evolved into new business models. Such models include - Cloud service providers, managed service providers, mentoring service, storage service providers, systems integrators and value-added resellers, to name a few.

Technology debates over formats, standards and technical approaches will probably always be with us. In the cybersecurity market, considerable discussion has taken place around best-of-breed point products versus integrated security architectures.

Over the years, each new variety of cyberattack has triggered the launch of a new cybersecurity product category designed to deal with it. If there's a cybersecurity malady people care about, there's an array of software products and appliances standing by. The problem is data centers are now stuffed with a multitude of point products that often prove difficult to manage and may lack the cohesion to ensure the end-to-end security people think they are getting.

So, is the integrated solution unquestionably the only way to go in the cybersecurity market? Well, not quite. The integrated method also has its downsides. What happens if the security engineer running the all-in-one security product set leaves the company and there's no institutional memory of how to run the offering? What if one component of the integrated product set lacks key elements of functionality that the client requires?

The first sense of cloud services covers a wide range of resources that a service provider delivers to customers via the internet, which, in this context, has broadly become known as the cloud. Characteristics of cloud services include self-provisioning and elasticity; that is, customers can provision services on an on-demand basis and shut them down when no longer necessary. In addition, customers typically subscribe to cloud services, under a monthly billing arrangement, for example, rather than pay for software licenses and supporting server and network infrastructure upfront. In many transactions, this approach makes a cloud-based technology an operational expense, rather than a capital expense. From a management standpoint, cloud-based technology lets organizations access software, storage, compute and other IT infrastructure elements without the burden of maintaining and upgrading them.

The usage of cloud services has become closely associated with common cloud offerings, such as software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) and infrastructure as a service (IaaS).

A systems integrator (SI) is an individual or business that builds computing systems for clients by combining hardware, software, networking and storage products from multiple vendors. Using a systems integrator, a company can align cheaper, preconfigured components and commercial off-the-shelf software to meet key business goals, as opposed to more expensive, customized implementations that may require original programming or manufacturing unique components.

---

The task of systems integration often begins with a client meeting, or a series of meetings, in which the systems integrator assesses the client's business needs and defines the technical requirements for an IT system that meets those needs. The resulting integration plan sets the foundation for the integration process. That process may involve designing or building a customized architecture or application and integrating it with new or existing hardware, packaged or custom software, and networking infrastructure.

With the rise of cloud computing, the systems integrator may also play a role in integrating on-premises IT systems with cloud-based applications or computing infrastructure.
