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

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.

corporate website, including on-line catalogues or databases if desired,
all based on state of the art technology.
When your new website

or services.

that our clients see us as a key partner in their business. The Internet

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.
