SQL SERVER CONSOLIDATION & OPTIMISATION
Installations of Microsoft SQL Server have increased substantially over the last few years with it becoming almost the database management system of choice for custom-built and pre-packaged applications due to its affordable pricing and value-for-money with its rich feature set. This popularity of SQL Server, however, has also resulted in a sprawl of installations in a corporate environment with different divisions and departments implementing the db server on their own dedicated hardware servers.
The SQL Server Sprawl results in standardization issues, security holes, increase in expenses due to the unknown number of hardware and licenses operating in the infrastructure and the risk of un-coordinated installations.
DigiTech can help businesses save money, optimise licensing and administration costs and achieve higher RoI from their SQL installations leveraging the deep technical knowledge and expertise based on our relationships with Microsoft.
DigiTech works closely with our clients to:
- Understand the existing SQL Server installations in the infrastructure.
- Analyze the existing SQL sprawl and reasons for the same.
- Recommend an ideal consolidation plan based on
- Physical: Multiple databases into one database, Multiple databases into single instance, Multiple instances into single physical server
- Virtual: Hypervisor based consolidation by converting physical systems hosting the multiple SQL installations into virtual machines.
- Migration: Move the SQL databases from on-premise hardware installations to Azure cloud platform
- Hybrid: A combination of on-premise and Azure cloud based installations.
- Implement a complete SQL Consolidation project end-to-end and delivering the desired results.
UNIFIED COMMUNICATIONS
Work is no longer restricted to an office space or to a single location. Companies, in today’s world, are dispersed entities across multiple locations and geographies with employees, partners, stakeholders and at times customers needing to connect with each other across devices, networks and regions. Traditional means of silo communication modules – phone, email, calendar, chat messaging, video communication – operating independent of each other no longer serve the purpose for businesses that need to be agile and innovative at all times.
Unified Communication breaks down the barriers between traditional independent silo communication operations and gives the users an ability to connect seamlessly with each other on any mode of communication from any location on any device or network.
Microsoft’s vision of Unified Communication puts people at the center giving a rich seamless communication experience across email, IM, voice, data, video and conferencing unifying communications with business processes and applications making people more productive and organizations more efficient.
DigiTech has helped many customers across the globe migrate from their traditional independent communication platform to a single unified communication platform based on Microsoft technologies. DigiTech’s relationship with Microsoft and expertise in the technology ensures that we can provide an integrated solution combining Skype for Business/Lync, Sharepoint, Exchange and Office 365 to customers helping them to lower complexity, reduce their costs and provide them with a single workflow for better user experience.
PORTALS
One of the main tasks of IT team in any organisation is to help provide a secure platform for collaboration where diverse team members – employees, partners, customers, stakeholders - sitting in multiple locations and offices can co-ordinate and collaborate seamlessly as if they are sitting in one location.
DigiTech helps customers to achieve this vision with Microsoft SharePoint technology helping individuals, teams and organisations to intelligently discover, share and collaborate on content from anywhere in the world on any device.
DigiTech has helped many customers across geographies to leverage SharePoint technology and build collaboration platforms like:
Corporate Intranet Portal
A corporate intranet portal is like a meeting room or a seminar that everyone attends and where they can find news, announcements, scheduled tasks and variety of internal corporate information that they may need to get their job done.
- Efficient communications without geographical and organizational limitations
- Unified access to all internal corporate services with search, version management, workflows, tasks to name a few
- Feedback on the latest and the most vital ideas, proposals, and information materials
Document Storage and Workflow
SharePoint can be used as an internal document storage location where all team members and employees can store and share their documents rather than keeping them in their individual hard drives. Documents stored on SharePoint can be accessed by anyone at any time on any device, if they have the permission to do so. Team members using SharePoint can also work on documents simultaneously and save their edits so that everyone can see, view and work on the latest versions of the document. DigiTech also helps to set up a complete workflow for document management.
Collaboration
SharePoint can be used as a collaboration engine within the organisation with teams working on projects and documents in real time with the ability to access the latest information and version of the documents at any time from any location on any device across any network. DigiTech helps customer to leverage the power of “any” available on SharePoint to make them more productive and efficient.
DigiTech also helps customers to build controlled extranets where access can be given to third party contractors or partners to upload or share information and documents in a secure manner.
Content Management System
DigiTech has helped customers build a robust content management system for their external websites on the SharePoint platform. Using the platform, customers can give access to select people in their organization to make changes to the external website in a secure manner.
CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT (CRM)
Customer satisfaction is no longer the benchmark for businesses to attain in today’s agile, dynamic and fast paced world. The new benchmark is Customer Delight.
A strong and robust CRM solution can help organisations manage the entire customer lifecycle from identification to acquisition and if need be separation ensuring that the customer gets the best experience at all times.
