Business Systems Inventory Your company’s hardware platforms, software applications and firmware should be audited and reviewed annually. Before approving the requisition of new equipment, it helps to understand the number and composition of business systems within your enterprise environment. Prior to making any new acquisitions, Planmetrix will undertake an inventory and audit of your existing systems that may identify underutilized system resources.
System Development Practices Like most business managers, you require the timely delivery of proprietary application software developed by internal software development teams. There may be insufficient resources within your organization to do the job or the infrastructure to develop software is inadequate. Regardless, systems must be developed quickly and to specification. We can assist you by identifying the constraints in your application software environment.
System Controls and Processes How can you be sure that logical controls exist within your systems to safeguard your information assets? Planmetrix will review your business systems to ensure processes and controls documented correctly. This work reviews the policies and procedures established by your organization regarding business resumption services and back-up systems. Our assessments are conducted and documented to meet industry best practices.
Security The increase in e-commerce based transactions processed by your company mandates the need for secure information systems and networks. Many “backdoors” may exist unknown to your network administrators. Our consultants have extensive expertise in identifying access control limitations in these type of environments.
Operations and System AdministrationA poorly administered system environment will likely result in system failures and poor performance to customers. We have consultants who have experience in administering and supporting production system environments where high performance standards and service levels are necessary to support customer requirements.
