Business Challenge:
A small interior design firm in San Diego wanted to re-vamp their entire network so it was easier to communicate with their customers and employees. Their current IT department was effective at taking on smaller projects, but when it came to larger ones; it was obvious they needed a little help.
Since their current IT team was well established, they were adamant about having their own staff follow through with all of their network projects. They merely needed someone to help fully assess their current network and lay out a plan.
In order to steer them in the right direction, we performed a TAP which helped determine their specific needs and provided a solid foundation to grow into their future needs.

Business Challenge:
A manufacturing company was looking to combine their business network in San Diego with an international office, and was extremely concerned with security issues. The administrator wanted to have full control over what the employees could access, as well as protection from outside threats.
Our Recommendations
After fully accessing the entire network, we found that each location had a different infrastructure, which made the existing infrastructure susceptible to security problems.
Our primary recommendation was to redesign the current network architecture by implementing Organizational Units and incorporating Group Policy Objects for users. This would create two secure networks, and allow the administrator to have full control and monitoring capabilities over all users.
Also We Suggested:
How We Helped:
We were able to provide the administrator with a tangible security solution that helps scan the network for threats and unauthorized break-ins. Also, by implementing group policies, the administrator was given the comfort of complete control and monitoring capabilities over his employees. Ever since, their systems have been free from security threats and unauthorized access.
