Calendar Sharing / Mobile Sync
Calendar sharing has become an integral part collaboration, we setup 18th Street with a system that allows their staff to maintain both internal and public calendars as well as sync with the staff mobile devices.
Google Apps & Cloud Computing
Google Apps and The Google Apps Marketplace represent an entirely new approach IT often called ‘Cloud Computing’. This approach, which is just basically using software that is running the web rather then on your personal computer, enables businesses take the hassle and expense out of IT by providing a host of free applications that don’t need to be installed or upgraded on every employee’s computer. This system also enables their staff to share documents and even work on them at the same time and never have to worry about backups and virusess.
Email Configuration
Email has come a long way in the last few years, Exchanges servers, which typically cost thousands per month to maintain, can often be entirely replaced by Google’s “Gmail for your domain” which is basically free for smallers business. This platform offers the sophisticated tools needed to allow your staff to sync their email between multiple computers and mobile devices.
Podcasting & New Media
We integrated tools that allow 18th Street to host and publish their podcast from an ‘easy to use’ admin area on their website. These tools can also be configured to simultaneously publish to other web video site like You Tube and Vimeo making publishing your video content that much easier.
Backup and Networked Storage System
Backup is an essential to any business. We configures 18th Street with a networked storage device (NAS) and automatically and instantly backs-up itself to protect against drive failure.
