Professional Services Overview (pdf)

Is your IT network serving your business? We can fix what's broken, make it work better, and save you money... fast.

CenterBeam can help you:

  • Save money
  • Fix chronic issues
  • Reduce network downtime
  • Improve physical security
  • Meet stringent regulations (SOX, HIPAA)
  • Achieve Green objectives

Why Optimize?

Imagine your organization's network as a freeway, and your goal is to get from point A to point B. While your "freeway" may make this possible, it may be wrought with pot holes and detours that do not provide a smooth ride or a direct path to your destination.

Align with Your Business Goals

Not only can you optimize your freeway for overall efficiency and performance, but the optimization can be tailored to meet your unique business requirements; with higher importance placed on the applications (cars) that drive your business by creating the shortest, most efficient route to your goals.

Why Choose CenterBeam?

Expertise

It's one thing to correctly architect and build an optimal network, but it's another thing entirely to continually manage and monitor your network to ensure you retain peak performance from your investment. Even under the best circumstances, network issues can arise, bringing a once optimal network to a standstill. Moreover, in the event of a network issue or failure, you must be able to minimize impact on your business by quickly pinpointing and resolving the problem vs. taking a needle in a haystack approach to finding the problem.

Our experts have 100+ years combined experience. We will help your network maintain peak performance in the course of day-to-day operations and enable your business to get back online quickly in the event of an outage, minimizing disruption to your business.

Customer Focus

We consult with you to determine the best server or network system which will help your business achieve its objectives. CenterBeam is a certified partner with a number of leading platform vendors, and our infrastructure consultants specialize in delivering best-in-breed platform solutions. You get the solution you need, built on the right technology, with a quick response time and excellent project management throughout the project.

Working with CenterBeam also offers the following benefits:

  • Empowered Project Management  You'll have a project manager who is empowered to make the right decisions for your needs and environment. We provide reports on open issues, communication plans, project plans and risk management. Our proven methods and expertise allow us to understand your business goals and deliver projects that meet your objectives on time and on budget.
  • Superior Access / Improved Communication: When your servers and network are optimized, data is more readily accessible and applications perform more efficiently.
  • Reduced Operational Costs: A well-designed infrastructure solution will reduce system downtime, increase security and require less time and attention from your IT resources.
  • Vendor Neutral Recommendations: Since CenterBeam is vendor neutral, our infrastructure consultants are free to focus on the best solution to meet your business goals, not on our agenda.
  • Documentation: When you partner with CenterBeam, you receive full documentation upon completion including: design, drawings, procedures, configurations and asset information. With this information, you have all you need to continue to operate your environment successfully after the engagement concludes.

Security

Security is at the core of everything CenterBeam does: we are inspected by an independent auditor twice a year to ensure the highest levels of security, stability and reliability for our clients. Retaining a SAS 70 Type-II certification is a priority as well as a key CenterBeam differentiator.

The First Step

CenterBeam's consultants' first step is to discover and clearly define your business requirements. This conversation is done without a network diagram and is an opportunity for us to understand your business vision and goals. This allows CenterBeam to design a network that will meet your needs now and well into the future - avoiding the potential of a costly re-architecture when your business grows.

CenterBeam will then assess your current network to see how, or if, it meets your requirements both now and in the future. Going back to the freeway analogy, our consultants will analyze how many cars are on your freeway, each car's operating speed, traffic patterns, as well as any traffic bottlenecks. With this insight, we'll map out a plan to align your freeway's structure, including on-ramps, exits, and speed limits, and place emphasis on those applications that are mission critical to your business.
