Services
Custom Software Development
We develop tailored applications for businesses requiring specialized functionality that off-the-shelf software cannot provide. Our developers work directly with clients to create efficient, scalable solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing systems. With expertise in multiple programming languages and platforms, we deliver custom applications that streamline operations and improve productivity while maintaining compatibility with legacy infrastructure.
Disaster Preparedness
Our comprehensive disaster recovery program includes annual on-site inspections and system monitoring to prevent catastrophic failures. We implement backup verification processes, hardware diagnostics, and security audits to identify potential risks before they impact operations. The program features customized recovery plans with tested boot procedures and documented system specifications to ensure rapid restoration of critical IT infrastructure following any disruption.
System Administration
We provide ongoing maintenance and optimization for UNIX/Linux servers to ensure maximum uptime and performance. Our administration services include security configuration, user management, software updates, and system monitoring through our DUKE automated reporting tool. This proactive approach identifies and resolves potential issues before they affect business operations while maintaining compliance with industry security standards.
FilePro Services
We offer comprehensive support for filePro database applications including upgrades, data conversions, and custom development. Our services ensure cross-platform compatibility across UNIX, Linux, and Windows environments while maintaining data integrity during migrations. We provide staff training and troubleshooting assistance to help businesses maximize their investment in filePro-based solutions for accounting, inventory management, and other critical operations.
Legacy System Support
We maintain and modernize legacy hardware and software systems that remain critical to business operations. Our engineers support obsolete platforms like SCO Unix and filePro applications while implementing solutions to extend system lifecycles. This includes integrating legacy systems with modern infrastructure, performing data migrations, and providing technical expertise for environments no longer supported by original vendors.
