What we do: ICT consulting, projects and management for businesses

Three services that cover a company's entire technology cycle: deciding what to do, doing it, and keeping it running afterwards.

Not three separate catalogues, but three moments

Almost everything we are asked to do follows the same path, even if each client comes in at a different point.

First you need to know what is there and decide what to do. That is consulting: looking at the installation, measuring it, comparing alternatives and putting in writing what makes sense and in what order. Without that step, whatever comes next is done blind.

Then you need to carry it out. That is the project: detailed design, testing it in a pilot, implementing it in an agreed window, passing tests that get signed off and handing it over documented.

And then someone has to keep it alive, which is where most of the time goes. That is management: day-to-day operations, reports, service levels and tracking the end of support of every piece of equipment.

The interesting part is that the end links back to the beginning. When a piece of equipment reaches the end of its useful life, renewal starts again with a consultancy. That is why we work across all three services: because whoever only does one part ends up delivering something that does not hold up, or maintaining something that should never have been set up that way.

Algoritmio's three areas as a cycle: consulting to know what is there and decide what to do, projects to carry it out and hand it over documented, and management and renewal to keep it alive. When a piece of equipment reaches the end of its life, renewal starts again with a consultancy.

If you do not know where to start

"I need to invest and I don't know in what." Consulting. A scoped audit gives you a reliable picture and a list prioritised by risk.

"I know what I want to set up and I need someone to do it." Projects. With project management, an agreed window and documented handover.

"It works, but nobody is looking after it." Management and renewal. Someone checks every day and tells you with numbers how it is going.

"I've been asked to prove this is secure." Consulting, specifically the ICT security block: vulnerabilities, ethical hacking and risk analysis.

"I have equipment whose support is running out." Management and renewal. And, if the replacement is a big one, a project after it.

If you are torn between two, call us and we will sort it out in one conversation. It is free and is usually cleared up in twenty minutes.

ConsultingConsulting

Professional and independent consultancy on any technology component of the organisation. We look at what is there, measure it and put on the table what holds up, what does not, what risk each item carries and how much it costs to fix. Five areas:

  • Systems audit. Physical and logical inventory, installation mapping, obsolescence and known bugs, and configuration, performance and capacity.
  • Architecture design. Advanced networking, virtualisation and data centre, security and mobility, and unified communications.
  • Selection and certification. Requirements definition, comparison of equipment and solutions, and stress testing and validation.
  • ICT security. Vulnerability analysis, ethical hacking, risk analysis, regulations and compliance, and forensic analysis.
  • ICT management and continuity. Strategic plan and master plan, organisational plan, cost rationalisation and business continuity plans.

ProjectsProjects

We manage the whole project, from design to the day after go-live, with one person in charge from start to finish. The most common jobs are data centre renewal, virtualisation and consolidation, migration to the cloud or to a hybrid model, backup site and disaster recovery, network segmentation and security, and opening or moving offices. Six phases:

  • Design. High-level proposal and low-level proposal.
  • Pilot and proof of concept. Pilot installation and proof of concept on a limited part of the installation.
  • Implementation. Basic configuration, advanced configuration and application customisation.
  • Testing and acceptance. A test plan written before starting and an acceptance test that gets signed off.
  • Documentation. Installation mapping and handover documentation.
  • Post-launch support. The first few weeks after go-live, which are the ones that hurt.

Above all six, project management: planning, monitoring and a weekly status report.

Management and renewalManagement and renewal

The day-to-day operation of the infrastructure and the life cycle of the equipment. We do not take on a management contract for an installation we do not know, so it always starts with a look. Five blocks:

  • Audit and remediation. Environment audit, prior remediation, and inventory and documentation. The starting point.
  • Comprehensive maintenance. Preventive, corrective and evolutive maintenance, extended warranty, scheduled work, on-site assistance and technical advice.
  • Managed services. Event management, incident management, performance and capacity, changes and releases, and configuration management.
  • Reporting and service levels. Reports and dashboards, and management of the agreed service levels.
  • Renewal. End-of-support calendar, renewal plan and planned replacement, so that nothing expires without anyone seeing it coming.

Shall we talk?

Tell us what you have set up and what worries you. A first conversation tells you, at the very least, which of the three is the best place to start. And if it turns out you do not need anything we sell, we will tell you that too.
