Assessments & Design
Connected Platforms' unique System Assessment is a complete evaluation of your IT infrastructure, including hardware, operating systems, software applications, and the procedures and policies established for its operation. This complete system overview provides the management information necessary for maintaining secure and efficient operations.
The assessment report is used to guide you on decisions about infrastructure maintenance, upgrades, and management with the goal of improving reliable and increasing performance and uptime. Planning for the maintenance and expansion of your IT infrastructure and systems lets you budget for changes and manage your investment in technology.
Connected Platforms recommends conducting an assessment and producing assessment reports every six months (for larger or more dynamic organizations) and once every 24 months for smaller or established businesses.

This service can cover: disaster recovery, network topology (Active Directory, Exchange, ISP/Telco, routing configurations, etc.), and application documentation. This straightforward service is cost-effective and assures business continuity in the case of key employee turnover, infrastructure damage, or a building disaster.

Server Migrations
As your business grows, your IT infrastructure must grow to support it. This typically requires the purchase and installation of new systems and software, which is often expensive and highly disruptive to your business. Because of this, some businesses avoid investing in additional capacity and functionality so they can avoid the attendant headaches. However, relying on legacy hardware and out-of-date software is expensive because of today's myriad risks to IT infrastructures and the lack of support for outdated hardware and software.
Let Connected Platforms manage your server migrations and you'll experience less downtime and maximum effectiveness compared with do-it-yourself or do nothing strategies.
Let our experts install your hardware, load your applications, and quickly migrate your data, all with little to no disruption to your operations. In the economy of the twenty-first century, businesses must innovate and change quickly. Let Connected Platforms help you do both cost-effectively and with high uptime.
Security Assessments

These days, it doesn't take an expert hacker to gain access to your data and systems there are literally thousands of scripts an attacker can from the Internet and use to "hack" or "crack" your network. This makes network security more important than ever. At Connected Platforms, our team of engineers can vigilantly audit your servers networking infrastructure to identify any possible security threats before they're exploited.

Depending on the security requirements of the client, an implementation can range from locking down a local firewall to implementation of a full scale IDS (Intrusion Detection System).
