IT Project Management - You've got a job to do. You have to deliver an IT project on time and on budget. Things start out ok, you're making routine progress on the road to completion... your project is flying along. But then...

Headquarters calls with a new plan. Everything you've done up 'til now is invalid. You have to deliver a more complex project, sooner, and with fewer resources at hand. You have to work nights, weekends and holidays, and attend endless meetings. Your team spends most of its time overcoming project obstacles, including resistance from your own leadership.  Productivity is WAY down.

Everyone on your project team is on edge, stressed out, ready to snap. But finally, you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, you're finally ready to roll out and go live, and then...

At the last minute, something goes wrong in testing. Something that should have been discovered early on, but wasn't. Something that puts the whole project in jeopardy. As project leader, it's all on you now. Your project, your career, your sanity are at stake, and you're going to have to take drastic measures to get the job done...

Have you've seen this movie too many times before? Projectcomp can re-write the script.
           






Disaster Planning - Bad things happen, and you need to be prepared. But assigning staff resources to develop, maintain, and test disaster recovery plans is tough. Everybody is busy, and nobody wants to do it. Writing and reviewing documentation, revising and re-designing plans to meet changing business needs, coordinating tests and evaluating results - all necessary, and all about as popular as a trip to the dentist. But the alternative is unthinkable. If lightning strikes and you're not ready...

Don't wait until it's too late. Projectcomp will design, implement, and maintain your DR plans for you. Off-site data storage, system co-location, hot site planning...

We have the experience to design a plan that meets the needs of your business.





Data Center Relocation - One of the most difficult projects facing a business's Information Systems group is the consolidation of data centers or a relocation to new facilities. ProjectComp has the experience to keep relocation projects from becoming disruptive to the business, and elevating risks. The scope reaches all levels within a business, and crosses all boundaries of expertise. Planning, budgeting, and time management.

The primary advantage of using ProjectComp to manage your IT project is our experience, knowledge, and dedication to providing continuous support throughout the project.  We have has successfully managed and implemented numerous consolidations and migrations over the years. Our project management / technical support teams have the skills and experience to successfully analyze, plan, cost, and execute your data center project with the least possible impact to your organization. 





Facilities Analysys / Management  - The best equipment with the latest software in a bad facility causes outages, premature failures, and is the single largest cause of poor service levels.

Planning, budgeting, and maintenance of its data facility can maintain consistently high service levels for an organization.  But when business demands force budget cuts, and maintenance is dropped or neglected, an inordinate amount of risk is assumed without the business realizing it.   A PDU that is not maintained is more costly and dangerous then no power protection at all.  Poorly grounded electrical connections, inadequate fire suppression systems, sub-standard cabling... We can evaluate your current data facilities and help you protect your businesses data systems.

Network Design - Security. Reliability. Throughput. All buzz-words, but all meaningful. Your business depends on your network. Poor design decisions now could cost your business money and resources in the future. Your host systems, workstations and people need to communicate with each other quickly, reliably, and seemlessly. Let Projectcomp bring our expertise to bear on your network infrastructure projects, to ensure your network won't let you down.





System Integration - Making diverse computing platforms work and play together well can be a daunting task. The grey areas in-between systems are usually un-documented and misunderstood. Achieving harmony between your computing platforms can be difficult, time-consuming, and thankless. Projectcomp understands the platforms, and the gray areas in-between. Whether it's sending FTP output from an IBM z series platform to a web server, or making intel server volumes appear as native IFS space on a Power i,  we can help you find a way to fit your square pegs into your round holes without using a sledge-hammer.





 Data Security - Physical security, environmental controls, fire protection, wiring, and power controls can be managed in a cost effective way. Maintenance contracts hardware, software, recovery facilities, and environmentals are a critical point of control. We can evaluate agreements to mitigate risk and to satisfy audit requirements and guarantee service levels.

Encrypted file transfers are no longer a nice-to-have. Auditors live for the day when they find a business sending confidential information as plain text FTPs, or as e-mail attachments. You need reliable, manageable encryption systems to move your sensitive data to destinations both inside and outside of your business. Let Projectcomp design and implement secure data transfer processes for you.





Backup and Retrieval - Data backup is routine and mundane stuff, until you find out that no one has noticed your tape drives have been failing for the last 6 months and you haven't backed up a single file for a long, long time... you've heard the horror stories. Or maybe you've lived them.


Let Projectcomp design a backup strategy that meets your business needs, protecting your data and minimizing your cost.
