Research

Advosys Consulting provides research and development services.

Product research and evaluation

The huge number of products on the market make it difficult to choose the right one. All products make claims, but which really work and which are just marketing hype?

Too often the products with the best brochure or the best salesperson win. Most companies cannot spare the time for their own staff to perform proper selection and evaluation.

As part of our general consulting services, Advosys Consulting can research hardware and software products and put them through an exhaustive evaluation and stress testing process to determine which work well and provide the best value for your business.

If you have a new requirement for your business network, and need to determine which product or service to choose, call on us to research available products and performce unbiased, methodical hands-on evaluations.

Policy and procedures

We also have experience in review of organization policies and practices.

As organizations grow, establishment of clear corporate policies are needed to clearly define expectations and standards. Internet-connected businesses in particular need to define policies such as:

  • Acceptable Use policies (AUP)
  • Security policies and enforcement
  • Telecommuter policies
  • Privacy policies for client information

We can assist in defining practical organizational policies that are only as restrictive as necessary. If your organization already follows established policies, we can review and renew them as required to ensure policies meet current circumstances.

Procedures and best practices often need periodic review. We can review organizational structure, systems management and production practices, and software usage. We can also audit compliance to existing security policies, such as verifying required patches are installed on all web servers.

We also review server and network structure and provide rationalization guidelines to reduce the number of servers in an organization to save operating and ownership costs.
