Scenarios

Collaboration and communication

In today's fast paced economy, company's business priorities are ever changing, requiring adaptability in order to stay competitive and maintain profitability. Businesses must share information quickly though many have separate data stores or working silos that don't communicate well with each other.

A collaboration solution based on Microsoft's Office SharePoint Server can help your business work more efficiently enabling a single point of access, enterprise search capabilities and workflow processes to be adopted.

Windows SharePoint Services is available as a free add-on to Windows Server which requires no additional licensing, so powerful team collaboration tools are available with only a little investment in time.

IT strategy

IT departments are under ever increasing pressure to deliver improved services, higher uptime while reducing costs.

While effort is focussed on these objectives other key areas such as delivering new projects, keeping abreast of emerging technologies, industry trends, and maintaining a corporate IT strategy are often put to one side.

Experience counts when it's your competitive advantage at stake.

Experienced IT strategy & architecture specialists are in short supply and many companies lack the practical skills and knowledge to ensure maximum value from their investments in IT.

tecivo's dedicated team of highly experienced consultants enable our clients to align their IT strategy and technical architectures directly with their business strategy.

Server based computing

Thin client computing is ever evolving and Citrix's latest products deliver an advanced, secure and efficient terminal server environment.

With server based computing, applications run on a central server and are displayed on a remote device - this can be a computer, terminal or even your mobile phone. Only screen refreshes, mouse and keyboard entries are passed across the network.

Because of this, thin client solutions are very network efficient, extremely secure and easier to manage than traditional IT systems where computers are spread around the business, often in different geographical locations.

We can design, deliver and support Citrix or Terminal Server solutions which have a variety of benefits including:

• enabling you to increase your IT systems performance without having to buy new computers
• provide remote access to a variety of devices
• connect a remote office to your corporate network

Remote working

Telecommuting is becoming a necessary way of doing business and can provide your business a competitive advantage.

Increased mobility is one of the most important factors leading to better customer relationship management and more workers are demanding greater work/life flexibility.

Companies must be able to deliver access to business critical information for all of these mobile workers wherever they are, across any network, to any type of device while at the same time ensuring the security of that data.

By making information easily and instantly accessible by anyone, whether local, remote or mobile, companies improve both the lifestyle of workers and the immediacy of the services they provide to their customers.

tecivo can offer solutions that enhance workforce mobility and provide on-demand access for mobile workers.

Contingency workers

With ever more pressure on IT departments to keep permanent headcount down there is often a lack of resource when you need it most.

There can be a need to temporarily bring in extra resources to provide cover during periods of sickness absence, holiday, between new staff arriving or when you need to allocate staff to project work. We can help bridge these gaps, you define the skill set and we can provide it.

We'll take care of all personnel issues, such as salary, national insurance, pension, bonus, appraisals and what we believe is key to retaining quality staff, training and development.
