Software Services

For many organizations, especially those having made the leap into the ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) arena, accumulated software expenditures represent the lion’s share of the annual information technology budget.

Standard desktop productivity applications aside, an organization that has made (or is going to make) the substantial investment in an ERP platform has many aspects to consider when addressing the care and feeding of such a temperamental animal…here are just a few:

• Capacity Requirements

•  Disaster Recovery

•  Security Policy

•  Hardware Performance

•  Network Performance

•  Deployment Strategy
   

These aspects don’t even begin to address other issues such as customization of the application, custom reporting requirements, and other data analysis needs. We specialize in tearing apart (not literally) software platforms to learn just how they tick to give you a deeper insight into the product in which you have committed such a large investment, and to help you get more out of that investment. Whether you currently utilize an ERP or other large scale software platform or you utilize more mainstream productivity applications, you need a partner who can help you stay on top of the game. DISI can help.

The foundation of your productivity or business software is your network operating systems. Any number of issues can cause a failure with your information technology environment. Even worse, an operating system issue, especially one left unidentified, can turn into a major calamity, shutting down operations. DISI has the knowledge and expertise to help you eliminate the worry. We provide system administration services to monitor the overall health of your network hardware and operating systems and provide corrective action before a problem exists.

Security Evaluation & Implementation

While the Internet is an essential tool, delivering many benefits for nearly every organization, it also creates new, serious and fast-growing security and privacy risks. By connecting organizations and consumers in new ways, the Internet helps business managers and CIOs, but also criminals. Using the Internet, hackers, thieves and other criminals have plagued enterprises and consumers with digital viruses and worms, denial-of-service attacks, password phishing, and identity theft.

CIOs determined to protect their enterprises against these threats have made security a top investment priority. In 2011, global spending on cyber-security reached an estimated $60 billion; that spending level is forecast to grow by 10 percent a year over the next three to five years.

DISI can help by delivering targeted security solutions such as, security assessments, identity access policy management, and business continuity and disaster recovery planning…and others.

Pre-Implementation Site Evaluation

The Pre‐implementation Site Evaluation (PSE) is used to develop a complete snapshot of the customer’s business system related IT/IS infrastructure to determine suitability for supporting their proposed Enterprise Resource Planning platform. The result of the PSE is a roadmap outlining its results as well as recommendations aimed at bringing the customer up to real world usability and operational standards for a successful ERP deployment based upon the customer’s specific business requirements and related best practices. This documentation and consultation can be delivered directly to the customer’s own onsite or contracted IT/IS support personnel for full implementation. DISI can also assist the customer’s IT/IS personnel with implementation of the PSE plan or even perform all requested services directly as part of our Implementation Support Services (ISS) package.

PSE services focus on, but are not necessarily limited to, the following major layers of a deployment: Application, Database, Network, Disaster Recovery, and Security.
