Network Administration
Many small business want and need the benefits of a full fledged network, with file servers, application servers, email servers and even web servers. While the business could thrive using all this technology, having a full time staff could seriously outweigh whatever financial benefits there may be. That is where the IMP comes in. Let the professionals at IMP design your network. We do a needs analysis and determine which type of services would best fit your needs. We will prepare an analysis between hosting the services and co-locating. If it is determined that it makes sense to host these services in house, we can then help with the purchase of equipment, install the network and configure it to do exactly what you want.
Managing Technology on a budget.
Anyone who has been around technology for any amount time recognizes that is not the cost of equipment and software that deplete profits, but the cost of management. With IMP, we can design a plan that is specific to your environment. Once the network is running, our services may only be need for a few hours a month. All network management plans are individually designed to meet the needs of your company.
Design and Implementation
It can be frustrating when you know what you want, but you just are not sure the best way to make it happen. That is where the professionals from the IMP come into play. We understand network infrastructure. We can tell you what you need to do to accomplish the particular task you have in mind. Because we are not tied into any particular vendors, we can give you options. Some of our options may even include Open Source or freeware solutions. Everyone likes things for free, don't they?
Technology, use it. Technology can be used in so many ways to help brand your business, keep you in control, or just cut costs.
How long did you spend coming up with just the right name for your business? I bet you were pretty proud of yourself when you were done. Make the most of your business name.

Are you unsure whether to host or co-locate services? Are you not sure what that means?

Customized Training
You have just spent thousands of dollars for new software. You saw a great demonstration about how the software would streamline your business, grow your bottom line and find a cure for the five most common communicable diseases. The frustration is that you cannot get the new package to do what you want it to do. The IMP can help.
Technology, making your life easier.
Every software package comes with a learning curve. The more flexible the program, the steeper the curve. It is a natural law of computing. IMP can help. With over twenty years of putting the instructor in instructor-led training, the IMP knows how to explain things. The IMP understands what it takes to simplify the process so you can get done what you need to get done.
You provide us with a list of tasks you need to complete with the new application and we provide you with a set of manuals that show you, step by step, with illustrations, how to accomplish those jobs. Not in some strange environment. Not using sample data that means nothing to you, but using your data in your office. It does not get better than that.
Technology doesn't have to be confusing.
There is no reason for your blood pressue to rise. Your computer really does not respond better because you called it a SOB. Take the frustration out of computing with classes from the IMP.
Remote Backups
Words to live by. It is not if your hard drives are going to fail, it is when. It is not replacing the hard drives that cost the business dearly, it is replacing the data on those hard drives that can literally bankrupt a business.
Technology, saving your company.
What would happen to your company if the hard drive in your server, desktop or laptop decided that it wanted to permently retire? If you cannot answer the question, "When was your last backup?", you need to call the IMP today. In some companies, backing up data is a "when I get around to it" task. The problem is you usually don't get around to it. That can turn into an "Oh, shuckey darn" moment.
Technology, using the Internet to accomplish all sorts of things.
Did you know there are backup solutions that do not require you to do a thing? That's right. The IMP can back up your data over the Internet, as often as you would like. You do not even have to know that it is happening. No tapes to change. No schedules to maintain. No logs to read. Painless. And secure.
Technology, working to keep your business in business.
Give yourself some peace of mind. Call the IMP today and see how easy it is to setup remote backups. We back up your data so you don't have to. One less thing on your list of Things To Do. The IMP, we make your life easier.
SharePoint Services
Collaboration. Team work. People working together, sharing information and ideas. It seems like a simple concept, but in the real world, it is often harder than it seems. More and more small to medium businesses are shunning brick and mortar in favor of virtual offices. It really saves on overhead, but meeting at the water cooler or in Conference Room Alpha can be a real problem. That is where Share Point Services comes to the rescue.
Technology, bringing people together.
According to Microsoft, "Microsoft Office SharePoint Services (MOSS) employs operating system and database services to support requirements ranging from a team site for a workgroup, to large enterprise portal solutions. Windows SharePoint Services provides security-enhanced, scalable, reliable, high-performance capabilities for site management:
• Storage Allowing content such as documents (Office documents, PDFs, custom binary files), Web pages, lists, and other types of information to reside in a common data repository (Microsoft SQL Server™) with full data management capabilities, version control, metadata, and site-level search.
• Security Providing the essential elements of comprehensive security management by employing a range of authentication providers (for example, Kerberos, NTLM, basic, the Active Directory® directory service, LDAP, ASP.NET forms and Web single sign-on authentication), policy management, group management, and permission levels ranging from individual items in list to entire sites.
•
•
•
• Extensibility Providing a comprehensive application programming interface (API) that allows custom applications to be built on the Windows SharePoint Services architecture, employing use of XML Web services and SOAP, providing event handlers for cross-integration with other applications, and providing methods for migrating content into Windows SharePoint Services sites.
