IT System Development Projects 

  • Major IT installations or upgrades can often create particular challenges for organisations. With the working week already filled by your day to day business, new IT projects, some critical to your future business success, have to compete with normal daily pressures and fit in alongside them.
  • So, with no spare time available, companies often expect their IT staff to undertake the planning, design and implementation of new technologies and systems in a live business environment, usually resulting in extended deadlines, ineffective systems, frequent failure and disappointing returns on investment.
  • At Serval Systems, we believe there is great benefit to be gained by using our team’s combined experience throughout your project planning, management and implementation phases. Wherever possible, we like to work with your internal staff every step of the way to ensure that they are fully trained, familiar with the new technologies and ready to take on future support and similar projects.
  • With a track record of successful, on-budget projects, you can rely on us to deliver the right outcome, every time.
  • We also offer lifecycle management where, as part of the overall project, we will remove older assets and either sell them on your behalf or dispose of them according to the Waste and Electronic Equipment Disposal Directive (WEEE). These important regulatory commitments can be seamlessly built into your project plan.

Business Security 

  • The Internet, whether it be web access, email or remote working, is now a crucial part of any business, but the open nature of today’s computer environments means that your business is under constant threat from viruses, spam email, fraud, information theft and malicious system attack. All organisations, therefore, must take business security extremely seriously and Serval Systems can help you to do just that.
  • For larger businesses that require full security, we recommend a layered approach providing a practical, maintainable solution. This can include external mail filtering, a bridgehead firewall, internal web and email filtering, control and monitoring.
  • Smaller organisation may need a more cost-effective solution and Serval will aim to recommend a correctly sized solution in each case.
  • We will be happy to take an initial look at your current and future requirements without any charge or obligation.
  • Where appropriate, we can create a costed proposal to help you select the best options for your business.

Cloud Computing 

  • Access the latest, most up-to-date software, broaden your IT infrastructure and access your data without having to upgrade your existing system. All this is possible with Serval Systems’ Cloud computing. We offer hosted virtual desktop technology allowing you to tap into our online service and access your data, desktop and applications wherever you have internet access.
  • This is pay-as-you-go computing – all the latest technology and software without the expense and hassle of investing in hardware, where you pay for the service, not the equipment.
  • The traditional approach - implementing different IT solutions for everything from data storage, exchange, Blackberry / iPhone, backup routines, server upgrades and so on. 
  • The alternative - implement a completely managed IT solution that includes all the latest features and security and have access to all the latest applications, without ever needing to purchase another application or worry about upgrading your IT servers again.

We can offer a complete IT solution for a simple monthly subscription. Providing access anywhere at anytime with a higher degree of security than placing servers in your office, including:

  • PC
  • Laptops
  • iPads
  • Smartphones
  • Instead of using local servers and networks, Serval can deliver the desktop to the user over the internet - so you can access the desktop from anywhere in the world on any device that has a web browser and an internet connection.
  • The hosted desktop along with any additional 3rd party software and data would be stored on servers in our secure data centre. This would be backed up on a daily basis providing you with complete piece of mind. By making use of the latest virtualisation technologies, Serval can provide you with reliable access to all your data whenever you need it.
  • We can offer a wide range of software as standard, including Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, Internet Explorer and Adobe Reader. If you need to add additional programs such as Sage, SQL databases or access from Blackberry or an iPhone this can easily be added.
  • By paying a flat monthly fee per user you can manage your IT budget for your company now and in the future.

We have created three illustrations for the cost of these services, based on:

  • Single sIte, 10 users
  • Two sites, 50 users
  • Multiple sites, 200 users

Support & Services

Whatever your requirements, Serval Systems have an outsourced IT Support solution to suit. Our solutions can be tailored for clients of all sizes from growing enterprises to corporate operations with our aim being to demonstrate real improvements to your business's efficiency by providing the following outsourced support services:

  • First line user support,
  • Second line problem solving
  • Third line, in-depth technical solutions

Serval Systems have partnered with leading vendors to offer the best business IT services and support to our clients. 

  • First Line Support Serval's first line support service can be provided for each system user to allow direct access to helpdesk services. Immediate and simple problems are usually resolved with one of our support consultants during the initial call. When necessary, more involved technical problems can then be passed on to the second line systems engineers.
  • Second Line Support Once calls have been screened by first line support, they may need to be resolved by the systems engineering team. Some customers may choose to only send this type of call to us whilst dealing with initial problems themselves. An engineer will be assigned the problem and will follow it through to completion. The systems engineer can call on the experience and knowledge of the whole team as well as the resources of our business partners.
  • Third Line Support This category of call may be very complex. Calls escalated to this level may require significant effort and planning to solve. In some instances, system level changes may need to be agreed. Very often an engineer with in-depth knowledge of the particular system will be selected to maintain good customer service.
