In 2003, I was providing custom reporting services for my company, whose network infrastructure was at its breaking point. At that time, the network supported 30 workstations and 2 servers, all of which were built in-house, with no set standards. Daily network interruptions were common, and the network file store was incapable of supporting the growing use of electronic documents. A series of events left me as the person responsible for the network. I was in a real jam, and needed guidance in providing my company with a functional network. That's when I called Active IT Design. Active IT met with our management team, listened to our needs, and crafted a new network topology based upon Microsoft Small Business Server. In the end, Active IT Design had migrated all network resources from Novell to Microsoft Small Business Server, installed 40 new standardized workstations, and upgraded our office suite of tools to Microsoft Office XP. Active IT Design has now provided network administration services to my company for the past 6 years. Network functionality has been so free of incidents, that employees and customers now consider it as a given fact of doing business. Only a few management personnel are aware that Active IT Design is actively managing the network. In my opinion, a sign of a good network administrator is one that the network users don't even know exists.
Pros: Always available to help.
