Services Offered By MPO Consulting
With 17 years of IT experience I can offer your business cost-effective, process-oriented technology foundation to help "keep things simple." I am a proponent of ITIL V3 and will help you implement a robust infrastructure and also document it.
Antivirus, Spyware & Spam Protection
Symantec, McAfee, AVG, TrendMicro, Cisco Security Module, MessageLabs
One of the great productivity sieves in today's business world is lost productivity and time/resource costs associated with viruses, spam and spyware/malware. I can recommend several alternatives - both insourced and outsourced - to eliminate this headache and avoid these nuisances.
Datacenter Buildout & Consolidation
Colocations, Data Centers, HVAC, UPS
Over the past decade I have built out three datacenters from scratch. That includes strategy, design, implementation and continuous service improvement. Whether you need a colocation or "blank slate" to build up I can provide guidance and expertise in LAN/WAN, Windows/AD and EMC/Virtualization.
Application Implementation & Maintenance
Windows 2003-2008, Exchange, AD 2003, SMS, SQL, SharePoint, Crystal Reports
I have spent many years building on my work in the application space and have expert-level in many Microsoft and other best-of-breed packages. Using industry-standard applications like Active Directory, SMS, SQL, Exchange and other packages I can built a rock-solid, high-performance technology foundation your business can rely on.
Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity Practice
SunGard, BackupExec, DoubleTake
Nearly 70 companies went out of business on 9/11 because they did not have a DR/BCP plan in place, not because of loss of intellectual capital. I can help with an enterprise-level solution like Sungard or more cost-effective alternatives.
Server/Computer Imaging, Patch Management & Network Streamlining
Acronis, DriveImage, SiteScope, Spiceworks, PatchAuthority
Imaging technologies like Acronis can greatly reduce the time and cost of server/PC deployment - I can show you how to use this super technology. I can also provide assistance in simplifying your network and making sure it's being monitored 24x7... along with establishing SLA's and reporting.
And I can help you use virtualization as a "next-generation shortcut" for rapidly deploying new services while reducing costs and maximizing use of existing resources.
MSFT Live Meeting, Skype, Tandberg
If you're looking to increase meeting efficiencies and save on travel costs and time lost in transit, audiovisual conference is the way to go. At my last company I connected three offices with LiveMeeting and/or Skype... throw in a few LCD TV's and hi-res cameras and executive/client meetings are a walk in the park.
