LSA Technology are able to provide you with a wide range of services, aiming to be a 'one-stop' solution to all your Computer Technology requirements. Listed below is a selection of the main ways in which we can benefit your business, but whatever your needs, we will endeavour to find a solution that that both meets your needs and is cost-effective.

CONSULTANCY & ADVICE

LSA Technology has over 20 years of doing business in the Information Technology industry, and have acquired a wealth of experience that spans the whole range of technology, applications, problems and solutions.

As such, we are well placed to analyse our clients' requirements and advise them on the most appropriate solutions, taking into account the technology, cost-effectiveness, reliability, compatibility, usability and reliability as necessary.

FACILITIES MANAGEMENT

With the increasing dependence of businesses on their computer installations, and the increasing complexity of those systems, the task of keeping them healthy and up-to-date can be a major problem. Unless a business can employ a dedicated professional to manage these systems, they run the very real risk of a serious loss of availability, with all the consequences of that on the smooth operation of the business.

With this in mind, LSA Technology offers a Facilities Management service to our clients. Calling upon our depth and breadth of experience of such critical installations, acquired over many years, our consultants will take on the role of managing your computer installations. We are able to advise you about the health of your systems, pointing out problem areas and recommending solutions, advise about enhancements, perform regular maintenance, and if you do suffer a failure, initiate appropriate recovery actions.

Depending upon your needs, we can tailor this service to suit your own requirements. We can offer a service whereby you call us in as & when required, or we can offer a full on-site 24/7 maintenance contract, with guaranteed time to site and replacement equipment available. Give us a call to discuss how we can best satisfy your exact requirements.

NETWORKS

Complete network systems to cover most requirements can be designed, installed and maintained. These can be a simple Local Area Network (LAN) of a few workstations connected to a local server and sharing resources like printers, or a large Wide Area Network (WAN) covering geographically dispersed offices with workstations and servers, possibly with links to associated company’s networks and databases which may be employing different operating systems. In particular, we are experienced at networking Apple Macs and PCs together in the same network.

Geographically dispersed sites can be linked by conventional land line using ISDN or leased line, Internet tunneling technology or wireless connection as appropriate. Network software and licenses can be supplied.

Cabling systems employed are fully structured using CAT-5, CAT-6 or fibre optic as required. PABX telephone exchanges and other communication systems can be integrated or supplied, installed and maintained as part of the contract.

FIREWALLS & INTERNET SECURITY

LSA has expertise in the application of security to your internet connection, giving protection to your network and systems from the many dangers posed by the Internet.

The dangers are many and varied; everyone has heard of hackers and virus attacks, but there are many more ways that an internet connection can pose a threat. There are many ways in which you can protect your systems from risk, and we offer virus screening of incoming emails, and a variety of hardware or software firewall solutions.

Our state-of-the-art security system is able to protect against each of these threats in addition to providing many extra benefits. We use the flexible and incredibly cost-effective 'intY' Internet Server. This PC based system is installed between your network and your internet connection, and manages all aspects of the connection, offering the following services:

  • Firewall
  • Router
  • Virus checker
  • Email server
  • Control access to the Internet from your network
  • Control your connection costs
  • Allow remote access to your network via the internet
  • Virtual Private Network (VPN) using the internet to connect your remote offices

INTERNET

LSA has the ability and experience to supply the full range of Internet services - including websites and e-commerce sites, email and domain names, plus the servers to provide secure and cost-effective hosting for them...

WEBSITES

LSA provides web based solutions developed in a professional and collaborative manner, and our services span the whole project life cycle from concept through design and implementation to lifetime support. Our approach is friendly, professional, innovative and creative. We combine design flair, technical competence and business experience to create a finished product that gives you a professional, businesslike site that works, and your customers a pleasant, involving experience when they use your site.

Depending on your needs, LSA can put together a simple web site for ‘first timers’ to give an immediate Internet presence, or develop a complex interactive corporate website, including on-line catalogues or databases if desired, all based on state of the art technology.

When your new website goes live, we will organise submission of your website to each of the major 'search engines' (Yahoo, Google, Excite, etc.) and allow your potential customers to find your website by searching for your products or services.

Our aim is always to form long-term relationships with our clients, and we take pride that our clients see us as a key partner in their business. The Internet is a medium that is growing at an increased pace, and an industry that has provided businesses the chance to advertise their product or service in the global marketplace.

E-COMMERCE SOLUTIONS - Sell your products over the Internet

We offer a variety of solutions that allow you to advertise and sell your products and services using the web. These range from an inexpensive solution to a sophisticated fully integrated system around which your entire business operates. Using the market leading Actinic on-line store software, our solutions will allow you to offer up to thousands of products, and will take care of all aspects of the sale - listing in the catalog, searching for products, taking the payment in a secure manner, and administering the shipping and paperwork.

WEB HOSTING

Your web site and email need to be hosted on a web server system. We offer a whole range of hosting facilities and permutations to suit you. Our hosting services are built upon realizing that customers need a reliable, flexible host that has a fast connection to the Internet. After all it is your company name and reputation at stake if your web site is slow or cannot be accessed due to frequent or long periods of down time.

EMAIL ACCOUNTS

We can provide unlimited e-mail addresses for your business so that everyone can have their own individual named mailbox. We can also provide the servers and software so that you can collect and distribute your emails throughout the company automatically using your own company network.

DOMAIN NAMES

We can register any domain name of your choice, allowing you to use your company name or business description with any suffix ( subject to availability ). So, for example, you can have your web site at www.your-company.com and your email address could be john.smith@your-company.com.

We are able to register all of the popular domain suffixes, such as '.com', '.co.uk', '.org', and '.net'. Recently available are international domains, allowing you to register a similar domain locally in many countries - such as UK, Europe and Germany, which would be '.uk.com', '.eu.com' and '.de.com'.

SYSTEMS INTEGRATION

We have experience of integrating existing systems / applications into your Web site. This allows you to publish information via your website derived directly from your company software systems, allowing you to build and capitalize upon, rather than replace your current systems. Examples could be customer accounts, stock control, order processing or product information.

HARDWARE

LSA can provide all the hardware required for any installation at competitive prices. Workstations and servers can be supplied from Apple, Compaq and Tulip ranges, or can be assembled to your exact specification by our own engineers from high-grade components at considerable cost savings.

Network hardware and software systems and components can be supplied, installed, maintained and basic training given. Cisco and other major supplier’s components are available.

SOFTWARE

Commercial and Industrial software can be written to your exact requirements, LSA has considerable experience in both disciplines.

LSA is used to sub-contract work and is used within the team environment. We are always willing to give a helping hand when required or undertake complete complex projects – with due consideration to time and resources.

The technology employed on all except simple systems is Client Server using SQL communication between workstations and servers. This allows easy system development if/when necessary. LSA specialise in large database systems and can supply large capacity servers, data vaults and retrieval systems.

LSA can also supply, install, configure and maintain much standard ‘off the self’ accounting and other software. With our trade connections we can often have this modified to customer’s special needs. Alternatively we can develop a bespoke system to meet particularly demanding requirements.

MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS & UPGRADES

LSA can offer competitive maintenance contracts to cover any mix of hardware and software. We can remove the spectre of multiple maintenance providers arguing over which end of a piece of wire lies the fault symptoms! We have the skills and experience to cover a wide range of equipment maintenance and have the backing of specialists for unusual &/or geographically remote equipment. This means that we decide where problems lie and can ensure they are corrected. Maintenance cover for software is also be available ie: complete system cover.

Cover can be arranged on a working day basis or 24 hour / 7 day cover provided if required.

We are able to undertake repairs to all makes and types of computer, including Apple Macs, plus peripherals such as printers and monitors.

Upgrades of processor, memory, discs, operating systems and other components of computers, both PCs and Apple Macs, can be carried out to you requirements in our workshops.

TRAINING

Training will always be arranged for LSA developed software and we are always available to re-train new staff if required. Similar arrangements can be made for LSA installed hardware.

Training can be arranged for most off the shelf products, either by ourselves or via our connections with the industry.

MEDIA & CONSUMABLES

LSA can supply a full range of media and consumables for computer systems, including floppy discs, CDs, laser printer toner cartridges, printer ink tanks, cables, etc.
