Terms Aims and objectives
RWC work in the growing sector of employment background checking.
Their I.T. requirements have quickly grown in line with the development of the business. At the beginning of 2003 they had 4 workstations and 1 laptop. Within 12 months this had doubled to 9 workstations. This growth in I.T. highlighted the requirement for a true Server based network, and movement away from the existing Wireless network infrastructure.
Having met and consulted with RWC the following requirements were identified:
Centralised data storage platform
Ability to set security and access rights
Automated backup
Email solution, with groupware and scheduling features
Remote access of email
Protection from Virus and Hacker attacks
Scope for expansion of system
Network Fax facility
Remote Administration of system
Physical cable network infrastructure
Process
Experience from a previous project allowed us to specify the necessary equipment and software to satisfy 80% of the requirement.
The remaining analysis was obtained by closely observing the methods and practices that RWC applies as part of their office procedure.
This ensured that the solution we provided was specifically tailored to RWC.
Planned deliverables
Microsoft Windows 2003 Small Business Server.
Bespoke Server System with Redundancy and Tape Backup.
Configuration of all user accounts.
Email system set-up.
Remote access set-up and test.
Network fax configuration.
Installation of RJ45 CAT5e cabling
Outcomes/achievements
The new system supplied met all of the requirements of the customer. As a business RWC are now using their computer systems in an optimal configuration for the current stage of their business.
The use of Microsoft Exchange and Outlook as an email solution has proved invaluable in communication both with clients and internal staff.
With Remote Access and Administration, PC Consultants are able to ensure that the systems at RWC continue to work at peak efficiency.
