Expert Business IT Consultancy, on a per incident, per project or ongoing basis

We help businesses like yours with a range of IT services, ranging from troubleshooting a single problem through to complete IT infrastructure overhauls. We deliver the results that forward thinking businesses like yours are looking for, and would love nothing better than to empower your business by leveraging the benifits that technology is capable of. Our services include:

Server Technology (including Small Business Server 2003 / Small Business Server 2008) The majority of our work is dealing with servers, and we have gained a wealth of experience working with Windows & Linux based systems. We can help you plan, install, configure & support most server architecture. Some of our more common tasks include integrating multi sites, active directory, DNS, DHCP, file sharing, database server setup, web servers, application servers and terminal services.

General IT Maintenance, Upgrades & Technical Support Critical to your business success is keeping your IT equipment that you rely upon in good working order. We can assist you with maintaining a wide range of IT equipment, keeping it running at peak performance.

IT System Overhauls, Troubleshooting and Fault Finding We can help you troubleshoot and resolve difficult to identify problems in a practical and pragmatic way. Our background is in troubleshooting and resolving problems like these in mission-critical environments.

Linux & Open Source Consultancy Our staff have been using Linux to develop 100+ user business critical systems since 1998, and we have been developing similar systems through Imitza from the day we started trading. Whilst Linux & Open Source is a popular platform to reduce costs, we can also assist you in leveraging Linux as a strong, flexible and reliable platform for projects such as web servers, data exchange systems, newer platforms for legacy systems, test and pilot systems, migrations, starter systems, etc...

Virtualization We can assist your business consolidating your hardware in order to reduce power consumption, hardware expenditure, and to develop a far more managable and agile infrastructure overall. We regularly help businesses using VMware and Xen based systems and are increasingly virtualizing desktops to reduce costs, increase simplicity and give staff a new level of flexibility.

Backup & Disaster Recovery Many businesses only find out how good (or poor) backups are when the worst happens, which is often too late. We can help you plan, implement and test your backups so that you can be confident in the event of a disaster that you can recover your critical company information. We can also assist in simulated disasters to identify and measure the performance, should the worst happen.

Internet Technologies We can help businesses with all aspects of Internet Technology including Internet Connectivity (including ADSL/Broadband setup) through to advanced routing and connectivity including datacentre infrastructure. Also, if you are having problems with acronyms like SMTP, Web, Email, POP, IMAP, sendmail, LAMP then we would be happy to help as it's what we do.

System Integration (including Legacy Systems) Seeking to improve communications between your systems? We can help integrate a variety of systems so they talk together. For older systems (such as DOS, Unix & Netware) we can integrate or migrate your systems to newer platforms, and for other platforms we work with technologies such as EDI, XML, and even just common flat files to transfer data. We would love to hear about your needs.

IT Security Feeling insecure? Controlling access to your company information and networks is critical to the security of the whole business. Common areas we can assist with include firewall setups as well as internal security (e.g. passwords & dormant accounts) and security issues in out-of-date software.

Remote, Mobile and Flexible Working We can help you develop a secure remote working environment for your staff, from simple mobile access, emails and company files to more elaborate setups. We can help you set up remote desktop environments that can give your staff additional flexibility, resulting in increased productivity.

Cloud & SaaS Consultancy Many platforms including our AMP (Automated Marketing Platform) have been developed and run on a cloud based SaaS (Software as a Service) platform, allowing us to move from what would otherwise be a costly and restrictive setup to a platform that can rapidly scale as required, with more resilience. We would love to hear about your project to see if we can help your business gain from our experience.

Application Development We can develop high quality applications for your business. The bulk of our experience is around developing web-based applications (mainly using PHP & MySQL technology). We have also developed applications that integrate with other systems and platforms (including SMS) and native interfaces for mobile devices such as the iPhone/iPad.

VoIP Telephony Systems By integrating telephony systems with IT networking infrastructure, greater flexibility and resilience are achieved as well as reduced call costs. As well as more common VoIP systems, we have also developed solutions based around the Open Source Asterisk system and SIP protocols.

Network Infrastructure & Upgrades (including Multisite Links, WAN and VPN configuration) We have a wealth of experience in network technologies including ADSL (broadband), wired and wireless networks, as well as dedicated links.

System Management & Monitoring By leveraging monitoring and management technology, it is possible to manage many (usually quite diverse) network infrastructures to a high standard with a reduced need to carry out repetitive tasks. We can work with industry-standard monitoring software as well as open source alternatives.
