Our approach to IT projects is strongly focused on the preliminary analysis and design phases.
Knowing the customer's business, understanding the specific work processes in the industry concerned, identifying current and future technology needs, and becoming the interpreters of the customer’s express and implicit needs. These are essential steps in the design of an IT infrastructure that ensures long term efficiency, security, performance and scalability.

Our approach to IT projects is strongly focused on the preliminary analysis and design phases.
Knowing the customer's business, understanding the specific work processes in the industry concerned, identifying current and future technology needs, and becoming the interpreters of the customer’s express and implicit needs. These are essential steps in the design of an IT infrastructure that ensures long term efficiency, security, performance and scalability.
In the early stages of analysis and design we:
Decades of experience in the assessment and management of complex and heterogeneous IT infrastructures, for small, medium and large companies, allows us to propose improvements to rationalise systems, reduce waste, increase efficiency and productivity:
We design and develop the network infrastructures necessary to ensure the highest degree of integration in customers’ work processes:
Based on our customers' changing business needs and the characteristics of their equipment, we propose and implement plans for the consolidation of server infrastructure aimed at ensuring a more efficient use of resources (computing power, energy, space, volume etc.), reducing the need for hardware, improving performance and reliability, and reducing costs.
a server consolidation project involves the prior analysis and listing of existing infrastructure and available resources, monitoring workloads, the implementation of an operational plan for the analytical transition to a virtualized system (virtualization plan), the migration of physical servers into virtual servers, and a gradual switch of services onto virtual or cloud infrastructure.
The following are the main drivers adopted for server consolidation:
The following are the benefits provided by the virtualization of multiple instances (OSs) on the same physical server:
We guarantee the highest level of competence on the most common and reliable virtualization platforms: VMware, Citrix Xen, Microsoft Hyper-V
If specific needs are identified in terms of resources, volumes and scalability for customers’ information systems, or some of them, we propose the adoption of SaaS (Software as a Service) or DaaS (Data as a Service) cloud computing services. In relation to these systems, we first analyse technical feasibility and cost effectiveness.
We have gained significant experience in the use of the most innovative cloud computing infrastructure available on the current market, Amazon Web Services (further technical information on AWS can be obtained at http://aws.amazon.com/what-is-aws/).
We also install private cloud and data sharing in cloud solutions, combining the ease of use of the most commonly used products (e.g. Dropbox, Google Drive, Skydrive etc.) with the privacy of corporate data (physically located in Italy on servers owned by customers, in accordance with data protection laws). We provide the management and security required of a professional and corporate service, integration with existing architecture, and flexibility.
Obsolete and/or poorly maintained infrastructures may significantly benefit from a rationalisation of services aimed at increasing efficiency, eliminate duplication and an improved allocation of existing hardware resources. In particular, the rationalisation we propose aims to eliminate redundant and unused services, upgrade the systems, and migrate to solutions that are lighter, more modern and innovative.
We implement active/passive IT infrastructure auditing and monitoring systems, using the most popular and advanced Open Source tools available (Nagios, MRTG, Cacti etc.). These tools allow the verification of the entire infrastructure (servers, clients, network devices, etc.) in an extremely granular manner, in order to detect, identify and analyse critical issues in the sizing of available resources and any activity considered abnormal.
This allows taking into account, anticipating and quickly resolving faults and/or inefficiencies, minimising inconveniencies caused to corporate activities.
The development of any professional enterprise is strongly and increasingly based on the communicative synergy of workgroups: we identify, implement and manage the technology solution best suited for each collaborative work environment, in relation to the specific security, reliability, mobility and usability needs.
The following are the main services included in the integrated messaging systems (VMWare Zimbra, Microsoft Exchange, etc.):
We offer customised VoIP communication solutions.
VoIP technology is an innovation that is now a must for companies, because it:
The following are some of the functions of our VoIP solution:
The vast experience we have gained allows us to operate as system integrators, is able to physically or functionally connect applications, and heterogeneous systems in order to make them conform to the characteristics of the customer's specific operational and management needs.
In fact, in order to improve the efficiency of business processes it is often necessary to achieve the interoperability and connection of separate computer tools, usually adopted at different times and aimed at responding to the needs of the company’s business sector (accounting, document management, process management, automation, etc.).
Thanks to our extensive experience in the management of complex networks and geographically dispersed systems, we can assist our customers with changes in their business needs that are difficult to manage and have a strong impact, such as:
We fully and independently provide for all needs involving IT organisations, ensuring operational start-ups in new situations, without delay and without wasting unnecessary energy and resources:
