May 7, 2009. Atlanta, GA based IT services firm DynaSis expands its offerings to give customers a detailed IT strategy plan for both short term and long term planning. The strategic technology review gives clients a look into how their technology is performing currently, auditing the current risks that can lead to critical issues in the near future as well as capacity and compliance issues that will need to be handled down the road.
DynaSis engineers perform strategic technology reviews for new and existing clients so they can have an idea of what industry best practices look like, as well as which practices they are meeting and which need to be addressed. Based on ITIL standards, the process takes a look from the top down including, servers, firewalls and storage devices on the network level before delving into personal computer and user personalities. Engineers spend some time on-site with the client conducting a thorough analysis and in turn deliver a detailed report with the findings. Virtual chief information officers (VCIOs) assigned to the client then discuss the findings in a round table discussion with the client’s key players and offer a road map on how to improve the current state of their IT gradually, so the client has different options available based on their timeline, budget, and strategy.
President David Moorman commented, “We wanted to give the SMB customer a real look into their IT and where it is heading instead of just providing a fly-by-night review that only acts as a sales gimmick. With the strategic technology review, we take the time to get to know your network and present the findings in an easy to understand presentation with options that make sense for your budget. We make sure we do our homework on your network, so we can make the best possible recommendations.”
In fact strategic technology reviews are only the beginning, DynaSis works with clients to become a trusted technology advisor and even dedicates resources like VCIOs to make sure plans are being implemented and new strategies are being developed as the business changes. Vice President Chas Arnold noted, “As a part of our service, IT is constantly being maximized as an advantage to the client. We help clients move from a reactive frame of mind to a proactive one, so they can anticipate technology needs as their business grows.”

The new concept in business is to focus on technologies that offer businesses a competitive advantage like Business Intelligence, CRM, ERP, etc and get out of the IT plumbing business. ITility by DynaSis was designed for just that."

By making this technology so accessible, we can help you become more competitive in the market place now and in the future.”

Roswell, GA - September 1, 2008 - DynaSis Complete IT Solutions today announced the addition of The Internap Flow Control Platform (FCP) to optimize Core Network speed and efficiency between DynaSis and the Internet.
The FCP platform is designed to optimize the BGP protocol. BGP is the core protocol the Internet was built on in the 1970s. For the small percentage of data centers, such as DynaSis, that have multiple high speed redundant internet connections, the FCP provides network performance management, Optimization and monitoring. Without an FCP, the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is often the default routing mechanism, blindly routing data over connections based on the shortest amount of hops a choice that frequently results in poor performance. The FCP takes a better approach. It proactively reviews our network(s) for the best performing routes. This addition will allow DynaSis to use the FCP technology to help improve both performance of you applications and the bottom line.
Benefits of Core Network Performance Management:
Based on its unique capability to measure the characteristics of end-to-end, real-time Internet traffic, the FCP solution improves network performance up to 50% on average by:
The result is improved network performance, intelligent load balancing across multiple provider links, and easier troubleshooting.
Adding The Internap Flow Control Platform to our systems further supports our commitment to providing superior data center services to our clients, said David Moorman, president of DynaSis.

Small and medium businesses today have many of the same IT requirements as larger companies, but don’t have the depth of resources to keep up with emerging threats and technical requirements. Companies need to stay focused on their core business and not be distracted by the complexity of the underlying technology.
Combating issues such as security threats, data backup, legal compliance, and more requires a systematic approach combined with a solid understanding of best practices, which is the purpose of the workshop. The DynaSis workshop is based on a series of standards called ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library). President of DynaSis, David Moorman, comments, “Our goal is to provide an educational forum for businesses to understand IT best practices, the advantages of improving, and the repercussions of failure. This will help create or improve an IT strategy to dramatically advance business success.”
Included with the workshop registration is a post-workshop IT capabilities analysis to help the business get control of the current state of internal technology. Each attendee will leave with a comprehensive understanding of the SMB demands on the IT environment and a positive start on creating a comprehensive IT strategy.
Please contact Mary Ann Denton for more information. Registration can be completed online by visiting http://www.regonline.com/dynasisbpworkshopalpharetta, or by calling 770.569.4600 ext 240.
Founded in 1992 as a small computer repair and service business, DynaSis has evolved into one of the Atlanta metro area’s most respected information technology firms, now offering a comprehensive suite of services and technology solutions.
1. Business Intelligence How well do you know your own business? BI is having access to current data about how your company is performing in designated key performance areas. Digital dashboards are often utilized … data is pulled from various sources, with the dashboard containing concise reports on each critical area your business must execute, and where you are vs benchmarks. President of DynaSis Complete IT David Moorman comments, “Reporting on performance measurements is key in reaching your goals for adding profit and reducing overhead costs. At the end of the day, information is what is going to get you ahead of your competitors.” For example, wouldn’t it be nice to predict the amount of inventory you need months in advance simply by tracking your sales pipeline, thus reducing unnecessary warehouse costs or taxes? BI is usually “real-time” or very close to it, providing you the critical information required to make solid business decisions. Reports focus on profits, customer satisfaction, efficiency, inventory, sales, productivity and more.
2. Software Integration Software integration is basically allowing two different software packages to exchange data per your specific requirements. Automating routine processes and eliminating redundant data entry are a couple of items that fall under software integration. Consider this scenario: your customers currently order your product by phone, requiring a dedicated professional to stop what they are doing and take orders. Why not simplify this process by implementing an e-commerce website, where clients can easily browse and purchase online? Integrating an e-commerce web site with your accounting software can automatically create invoices and post payments for orders placed online. This eliminates data entry required to keep your accounting data up to date, freeing up time for more productive activities.
3. Create an Extranet An Extranet is a secure web site designed to serve your customer base as an extension of traditional customer service efforts. Permission-based user management ensures that each customer has access to only their company information, and not another company’s. In addition, access levels dictate which reports or functionality each user has access to. These sites are great for streamlining and automating routine processes, and providing for efficient information exchange between you and your customer. Using an Extranet can help your clients access data and services easily, reducing the time you and your employees spend answering questions- allowing you to focus on your core responsibilities.
4. Internet Marketing Internet marketing consists of a variety of ways to gain new and repeat customers for your business via your website. Internet marketing includes: email marketing, affiliate programs, link exchanges, and banner advertising. One of the most effective methods is known as search engine marketing. With search engine marketing, you research which "keywords" your prospective customers use to find your products or services in the search engines. As long as people are actively searching for your products or services online, search engine marketing is superior to traditional forms because the audience is coming to you and has a current need for your product or service, allowing you to increase online sales or convert online leads to sales. Search engine marketing also allows you to measure the effectiveness of your website at converting visitors to sales. Lachlan Brown, SEM Director for DynaSis commented, “Internet marketing in its various forms is an extremely effective form of marketing that results in bottom line return on investment. With it you can put your message in front of your target audience at the exact time they are looking for information, and you can track the return in a precise way not possible with traditional, offline marketing."
5. Outsourcing Your IT Several benefits are available for firms that choose to hire an outside IT service provider rather than an in-house professional. With an outsourced company you gain a larger knowledge base of professionals that hold a wide array of certifications, while an in-house IT professional has limited knowledge and resources. An outside company also lets your valued employees who may have other job responsibilities focus on core competencies. Those professionals can now be dedicated to tasks the increase profitability instead of spending their time on IT problems. Lastly, the costs associated with downtime if an in-house professional is sick or on vacation increases, not to mention benefits costs, while an outside company has many employees capable of overseeing your account.
6. Software as a Service An ASP or Application Service Provider model can help reduce unnecessary costs while ensuring your software and hardware are maintained and up-to-date. In an ASP model, all your software and files can be fed over an Internet connection; data is safely stored and backed up. The cost of the service includes software and hardware that is hosted on the provider’s site, so you are always guaranteed the latest versions without upgrading or patching; licensing hassles are also eliminated. Companies benefit from a per user charge or bandwidth charge for the entire service with costs directly relating to the size of the workforce in the event of growth or downsizing.
7. Disaster Recovery While this form of technology may be more preventative in nature, thinking ahead to safeguard your digital assets may save your company itself, not to mention money. Backing up your data to begin with is crucial to disaster recovery, as losing confidential client records or employee data can be detrimental. Using tape drives to store company data is not as reliable as it once was due to advances and price breaks in disk to disk solutions which allow for real time recoveries.
Other techniques like off-site data backup at a secure data center can reduce your risk of data loss due to disasters that occur on your site. Andy Dunlop, an expert in data protection and disaster recovery for DynaSis Complete IT says, "Often people don't realize how much they have invested in their data until they don't have it. When recognizing the cost of data loss, it quickly comes to light that a good regular backup is essential to any IT infrastructure. Whether a single spreadsheet is accidentally deleted or a natural disaster destroys your file servers, you can recover if you have copies of the data; and by having copies at diverse locations, you can ensure you are prepared for a crisis."
Using techniques like those listed above will create a mind set of proactivity. IT will no longer be a hindrance to business, but it will help streamline processes to make your company money and impact your bottom line. For more information contact DynaSis Complete IT Solutions at 770.569.4600.
