A well-functioning IT infrastructure is of existential importance for more and more companies. Irrespective of the size of the company, digital data processing offers a wide range of possibilities or even forms the basis of corporate success. The type and scope of IT systems can be very demanding, especially when it comes to the technically sound implementation of specific projects.
Your company needs support in upgrading the network infrastructure? Your network has problems and errors and you need help with troubleshooting? Does the digitalization in your company urgently need a little more push? I would like to help you with competent advice or active cooperation in planning and implementation!
In many economic sectors, a local presence close to the customer is inevitable or even a strategic requirement. In today’s digital world, a connection of all these locations to internal company systems is usually absolutely essential, for example, to access customer data. Planning, setup and the exact design of bandwidths, hardware and configuration are often complex, depending on the requirements. I would be happy to support your IT team, develop proposals and/or implement the project together with you.
Depending on the size of the respective locations, number of workstations or security requirements, the local network infrastructure must also be dimensioned. Non-adapted or incorrectly configured switches can quickly become a bottleneck for certain requirements such as Voice-over-IP telephony. I would be happy to assist you right from the planning phase or examine the existing infrastructure for errors and potential for improvement.
Wireless communication via wireless LAN enables flexible network access from anywhere in the company building and also offers the possibility of using tablets or smartphones. If several access points are required, between which one must switch seamlessly for best possible reception, if certain security features are to be implemented or if Internet access is to be provided for customers in addition to corporate communication, it is usually necessary to fall back on more complex professional infrastructure. I will gladly take over the planning, site illumination, setup and configuration, all of course tailored to your needs.
Recurring activities on IT systems, complex configuration steps, a large number of devices, errors in manual work … there are many good reasons to promote automation in a company, but the path to it is not always easy. Responsible IT teams often lack the necessary time or the deeper insight/know-how into the systems and processes. Within the framework of a detailed joint as-is analysis, we identify and prioritize optimization potential, and streamline or simplify processes. This gives your IT team the necessary freedom for other projects, reduces potential sources of error and thus improves the availability and quality of your entire IT system.
A good network infrastructure is characterized in particular by the fact that it fits the requirements of the surrounding services and applications. This requires a very good technical understanding of the operating systems and the entire software stack. On the basis of my many years of experience, I develop, configure, update or optimize the client/server infrastructure together with you and thus coordinate the entire infrastructure in a cost-optimized manner.
I have been working as a specialist for network infrastructure and automation in the field of banking IT for more than 20 years now. Continuous further training in my field of expertise is a matter of course for me. Thanks to the overview I have gained as well as the deep technical insight I can cover a wide range of project requirements.
Company networks from small to very large, infrastructure in the data center or as a service provider with many locations, LAN, WAN or WLAN, construction, expansion or optimization of your network … I will be happy to assist you in all these matters. Working with complex core networks (e.g. MPLS Backbone), the networking of a large number of company locations (WAN) and the management and configuration of physically or wirelessly connected network devices (LAN/WLAN) inspire me.
