CSA can assist in fast tracking you on your journey from unstructured data to information to knowledge – providing you with the tools that support you in making better business decisions. We do this by providing professional services to collect, integrate, analyse, interpret and present business information in a meaningful way.
CUSTOM APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT & SUPPORT
There are very few Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) packages that do not require major customisations to fully meet the business needs of organisations. One of the exceptions to this may be accounting packages – but even these packages are prone to require the client to change their business rules to meet those of the application. The general rule of thumb is if a COTS package does not meet approximately 80% of the detailed functional requirements ‘out of the box’ then a custom solution should be considered

NETWORK SECURITY
By utilising various technologies, experience and proven methodologies, CSA can ease the burden and pressure allowing you to find that balance in a cost effective way. Network Security doesn't need to be an insurmountable task. By having your own network and communications protected and monitored you can get back to doing your business. CSA can take you through the steps to design, implement and support your communications, network and back office techniques.
BACKUP & RECOVERY
Data Backup- Storage, storage everywhere, but how do you protect your data in a manageable way? The past issue has been to backup to tape or optical, but the real challenge is how to recover the data in a fast effective and manageable way. With so many choices, which software, which platform, which media? How do you determine which is the right choice? With the typical business growing their data by 60% every year, how do you get it right without blowing your budget?
Using a combination of technologies and platforms from HP, EMC, Symantec and others, CSA can design and implement the right sized solution to suit your business today and into the future.
Disaster Recovery- Organisations are very dependent on their IT infrastructure to support their business processes and deliver competitive advantage. If a disaster affects their ability to operate IT, business grinds to a halt, and they lose market share and they may even go out of business. Whatever the threat the result is the same – failure to operate the IT infrastructure to support the critical business processes.
