Keeping your IT Engine Running Smoothly
The need to manage increasingly complex technology environments — Convergence, Security, Data Storage, Business Continuity and the interplay between them present challenges that not all enterprises are equipped to deal with, both from an infrastructure and human resources perspective.
As technologies evolve and converge, the technical skills required to implement, integrate and support them are becoming more and more specialized – and less available.
These challenges make it essential that your network infrastructure is proactively managed and monitored and that you maintain a solid organization wide security strategy with robust disaster and recovery procedures.
Failing to do so is an invitation for security breaches and network failure that will result in on or more of these costly and crippling events:
- Downtime
- Data compromise
- Ransom charges
- Forensic and remediation costs
- Public relations challenges
- Legal & regulation costs

Rest Easy
The second cornerstone of protection is a well designed disaster and recovery plan. We evaluate your needs, capacity and downtime tolerance to ensure you can carry on, with access to you mission critical data when all else fails. Once the plan is developed and documented, cloud and local backups are monitored and tested regularly.
Backups, however are just part of the plan. We can create fault tolerant network designs, either local, hybrid or full on cloud, designed to get you back up and running in minutes, rather than days.
If the answer to any of the following is yes, then your business data and operations are at risk:
- Did my backups run as expected last night?
- Did you receive an alert as to a backup failure an was it remediated?
- Are my users workstations data folders being backed up?
- Are my Office 365 services (Teams, Exchange, Sharepoint) being backed up?
- Is my OS and Anti-Virus up to date and verified as active on my servers and workstations?
- Have you assessed your time to recovery tolerance?
- Does your retention policy match your needs?

Leveraging the Cloud
Do you find it tough to budget for major technology upgrades while still needing to stay current with technology in order to compete effectively? Cloud Services, depending on how you implement them, can lower your cost of ownership for many of your IT assets. Reduce cost per computer and per server, per software maintenance, configuration and patches and update management because you pay monthly for only what you actually use and can add new resources or reduce them on the fly. Virtualizing your servers and desktops using Cloud Services allows you to “rent” the space and processing power you currently need or can afford and to budget for this incremental monthly expense rather than making a large capital investment in new hardware/ software /and personnel infrastructure for your company. Helix has been managing cloud infrastructure for the past decade and can guide you through the maze of cloud options to design a cost effective solution to meet your needs and maximize your investment.
Custom Software Development
Helix Computer Systems specializes in the design and implementation of custom software for client/server and internet/intranet applications. Our applications are currently in use at both Fortune 500 companies and small local businesses. Each business is different and at HCS we create software to suit your specific business function. Our goal is to tailor your software applications to your needs, not those of some anonymous focus group in Silicon Valley. Our expertise ranges from small business programs to large corporate, n-tiered client/server applications. We use client/server technologies including industry standard 4th generation languages, CASE tools and relational database management systems, such as Microsoft .NET Platform, Ruby on Rails, Java, SQL Server, Internet Information Server, Access, and Oracle just to name a few.
Our Development Team
The Helix software development team is comprised of veteran programmers with an eye for detail. They listen to your needs first and work with you in an on-going iterative way in order to make sure we stay focused on your highest priorities and expectations (especially as those may change) throughout the development process. We provide a full complement of associated help files and support while also taking the extra time to train your staff personally. Although the entire technology field could be categorized as fast paced, this branch is especially quick to evolve. Therefore, the software development team at HCS pays special attention to market trends and technology enhancements. We are always on the lookout for the “next-better-faster” so you don’t have to be.
