Privacy - systems and processes

We have an innovative approach to the new privacy legislation that combines both legal and technical expertise to provide a business solution that complies with the complexity of this Act. Specifically, we can provide:

• Privacy Compliance Audit;
• Review of documentation, contract, systems, marketing material and staff policies/procedures;
• Undertake interviews to determine understanding of compliance within organisations;
• Develop recommendation/action plans to achieve compliance;
• Provide 'roadmap' for implementation of recommendations, training and periodic Privacy Reviews.

Application and web development

We develop tailored websites, web-based systems and custom software using Microsoft technologies. Through the skills and experience of our developers we create intuitive and cognitive designs for user interaction.

Outsourcing

Managers today face a complex environment - changing technology, limited resources, management demands to meet targets, increasing projects and reducing budgets. Outsourcing certain finance or information technology roles can provide you or your clients with the ability to control operating costs and obtain greater value and efficiencies.

We offer clients a 'co-operative' outsourcing solution with a range of packages. The outsourcing arrangement is a value adding service that can help achieve measurable progress toward your or your client's business goals.

Alignment of business and IT strategies to achieve business objectives and growth

It is a common myth that planning an IT strategy and aligning to business objectives is just for the large corporations. Not so - every business, including yours and your clients' gain enormous benefits by ensuring the 'big picture' vision is incorporated into all areas of the business operations. Lack of IT integration impacts many areas of business; we are able to work with you to identify these, such as:

• Business objectives jeopardised through inefficient technology;
• Inability to move quickly in a competitive market;
• IT acquisitions driven and controlled by IT department, not executive management;
• Ad hoc purchases result in disparate systems - jeopardising data integrity and business information.

Cost reduction in IT spending

A common problem for managers is the increased demand to provide leading edge technology and full business support, but within a decreasing IT budget. We can provide a sensible, practical approach to enable businesses to meet both their organisational and IT needs. Through a combination of systems audit, business process reviews and forward strategies, we are often capable of reducing IT spending and improving efficiencies.

Business continuity and disaster recovery plans

Business survival is too important to leave to chance. A decade ago businesses could survive without their information systems for a few days, but today, with such a reliance on technology and the increase in internet trading and e-commerce, every minute of downtime can cost an organisation large amounts of revenue.

Putting in place survival strategies during or immediately after a disaster is not the best policy for continued business success, as this frequently results in inappropriate decisions.

We can assist in developing practical Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery plans designed to reduce the organisation's risk of an unexpected disruption to the critical functions for you or your clients.

Regular network management

Today the backbone of any business is its IT systems. Management of this critical system is time intensive which can remove focus from your core business. A failure in any part of the IT system can be costly while a total collapse can lead to considerable financial and image losses. We can help you minimise these failures in an efficient and cost effective manner leading to:

• Lower operating cost;
• Access to greater skill sets;
• Greater focus;
• Greater control;
• Access to independent advice;
• New and fresh ideas.
