We work proactively with our clients to develop individually
configured networks that advance their competitive edge and
accelerate their business processes. For example, using CITRIX
software, we develop new 'thin client' networks, where PCs
can be replaced by semi-intelligent terminals, or to maximise
the client's existing IT investment, they can simply be re-profiled
for their new environment. There are great benefits in cost,
speed and ease of network management in this central server
based technology. With all applications as well as the operating
system kept at the hub, server upgrades are simple and cheap
to effect.

PAVsolutions - Problem Solving and Consultancy
Our first introduction to a new client is often through solving a single operational issue. Many of our strongest client relationships have begun in this way. Commonly we are asked to advise on immediately business critical issues such as:
- Security
- Virus attack
- Firewalls
- Data back up
- Gatekeeper solutions
- Unstable or slow networks
- Business moves or reorganisations
Usually we are able to recommend and implement a 'best of breed' solution, which contributes to increasing business effectiveness. However, where necessary we can conduct a full network audit to establish the nature of the problem. In order to provide informed, beneficial advice, we carry out this 'fitness check' alongside a requirement definition.
Frequently we find that the network has grown over time into a structure, which no longer fits its primary business purpose. Our job then is to recommend a way forward which enhances the speed and effectiveness of the network whilst making the best use of the client's existing IT investment.
We offer a broad range of consultancy services covering current and future IT infrastructure.
