Proper
network planning is essential in today's business environment.
Without network planning, organizations find it difficult
to obtain a return on their investment.
Network
planning is the process of outlining business requirements
and growth plans to build a blueprint for connecting and purchasing
of IT resources. Thinking through your business needs will
ease the installation process, and increase the likelihood
that the network solution you design will match your requirements
now and well into the future.
Webicom, Inc. approach to Network Planning involves assessing your
current needs, and assessing how your business will change
over time. In particular, Webicom, Inc. places considerable
effort to the following processes:
-
Assess
Usage - Determine who the users are and what type of
access they will require.
-
Gather
Input - Talk to all parties involved and factor in the
needs of the various departments.
-
Build
in Expansion
- Detail the direction of the business. Considerations must
be made which may affect the design of the network. Factors
effecting today's design could be the adding of staff, geographic
expansion, remote access solutions, and new applications.
-
Address
Security - It's the information age after all! When
planning network design, we place great emphasis on incorporating
security into the design.
-
Knowledge
Management - Information that is not managed correctly
is useless. Knowledge Management allows staff to easily
access the information they require when they need it.
-
Remote
Access - Considerations should be made for remote access
to resources. With more staff working from the road and
home today, the need for secure and reliable remote access
solutions is growing rapidly.
-
Training
- Change itself could ensure that your do not see a
return on your technology investment. Technology adoption
comes with timesaving and productivity-enhancing features.
With adequate staff training, your staff will be armed with
the knowledge to best utilize these advanced features.

Before
jumping into your next upgrade or migration, step back and
ask yourself, have I considered all of the above points.

Disaster
Recovery planning is often the most ignored aspect of technology
management. Disasters rarely occurs, and it's with this thought
businesses all too often ignore the risk.
Webicom, Inc. philosophy with Disaster Recovery planning is
simple: Whatever can happen, will happen. Your information
is arguably the most valuable resource that you own. If lost,
it's not something tangible that is easily replaced. No amounts
of money could replace the information lost, and possibly
the lost of this information could result in serious financial
loss.
Similar
to an insurance policy placed upon physical assets, your Disaster
Recovery plan will act as your information insurance policy.
Webicom, Inc. strongly believes in proactive disaster recovery
planning and implementation. We look closely at your current
infrastructure, assess your risk, devise a plan and implement
the strategy. Key aspects in this process include:
-
Vulnerability
- Our approach begins with first recognizing the importance
of disaster recovery and then analyzing your potential exposure.
Do power surges and lightning storms frequently interrupt
power supply? Is the proper virus protection in place? Is
virus protection scanning each file and documents? Assess
flood and fire risks.
-
Back
up Data - Is your data being backed up? Virtually all
organizations utilize some form of backup. What is over
looked however is how reliable this back up actually is.
Rarely is this backup needed. Are you confident you could
successfully restore this data in the event of a disaster?
Our disaster planning includes actively simulating disaster
within an organization. The aim is to prepare the organization
in case disaster does hit. Similar to fire drills in office
buildings, our process prepares your organization in the
event of a disaster.
-
Protect
against power problems -
The
most common problem with network availability fortunately
is the most preventable. A thorough assessment of the current
infrastructure will allow us to provide you with power solutions
to avoid downtime and loss of data. Often inexpensive UPS
systems are all that is required to protect the resources
from this exposure.
-
Virus
Protection - Computer viruses can wreak havoc on a network,
placing your data at risk of corruption and deletion. Your
risk can be greatly reduced with virus protection software
and gateway servers. Data and email accessed is first checked
before being made available on the network.
-
Redundant
Systems-
ensures business continuity and resource availability in
the event of a systems failure. Redundant systems spread
the risk across multiple devices and servers, ensuring resources
are available in the event one of these devices fails.
Webicom, Inc. will look at your key resources, and devise a redundant
system to ensure 99.99% up time of your resources.

It's
surprising to see in today's business environment the lack
of resources placed in IT security. All too often organization
will disregard security concerns because they believe it does
not apply to them. Some organizations believe that by simply
placing a firewall on their internet connection they are secure.
Did
you know that over 70% of IT security breaches come from within
your network?
What are you doing to protect your resources from this attack?
Most
organizations have adopted intelligent building facilities
systems like card entry systems to protect and record access
to the office. Motion detector alarms protect the facility
from un-authorized access. Sprinklers protect the office from
fire. But what is protecting your systems from un-authorized
access? Has it been tested and evaluated?
Webicom, Inc. understands security. We know that security is an
ongoing proactive effort. Webicom, Inc. experienced security
consultants:
-
Develop
effective
strategies, polices and procedures
-
Analyze,
design and implement enterprise security architecture
-
Develop
appropriate
security processes and procedures
-
Effectively
manage security programs for clients, including monitoring,
planning, project management, security patching.
-
Implement
effective virus protection systems.
What
would be the impact on your business if data were lost? Can
you afford to lose your Intellectual Property? You spend money
protecting your office furniture from theft, shouldn't you
be protecting your IT resources?

business flows and processes.
