Support Facilities


We have several web application servers and database servers located at Solarnet's state-of-the-art Data Center Facility in the Chicago Suburbs. Solarnet is chicagoland's premiere hosting company - they provide and maintain our hardware, network, monitoring, security and back-up equipment. Our servers are online all-the-time with a 99% SLA.
We perform daily backups of your databases and regular off-site backups of your entire site's code, content and database files.

Value for Money

We deliver more bang for your buck than our competitors because:

We have a library of proven web-based software components.

We have a myriad of web-based software components for Forums, Links-pages, Search-pages, Caching, Image manipulation, Database Management, Content Management, File Management, Document Browsers, e-classifieds and more. These components can be integrated into each new site easily and quickly.

Because we continually improve these components as we develop websites for our clients, each new client gets more features and value for their money.

We have a Rapid Application Development platform - ParallelRAD.
ParallelRAD, developed over many years of continuous and persistent effort trying to streamline our development process, allows us to build applications faster than our competitors using a powerful framework that simplifies the software development process.

Our Content Management Solution is a proven, seasoned system that we built.
Because we built the software ourselves and have years of experience setting up and deploying ParallelCMS, we can deliver Content Managed Solutions that are better that our competitors in a shorter time-frame.

We have more time to spend on getting it right.
Because of the 3 reasons listed above, we can allocate more time to testing and improving the website and developing additional features.

Our clients are often surprised to see the sheer amount of functionality we delivered about and beyond what they expected even on smaller website projects with limited budgets.

We also support Open Source programming and components. If you want to use open source systems for your website or business applications we are more than willing and able to help you integrate these powerful solutions into your corporate infrastructure. We provide full spectrum open source assistance, from research and analysis of business fit and implementation costs, to actual deployment or installation. We also have the necessary background to modify any open source code to give you the features your looking for, hence saving you the cost of developing a full application.

Site Maintenance & Support

Each project is designated a client liaison whose responsibility it is to ensure you are happy throughout the lifetime of the project providing regular reports and ensuring requested additions to the website are implemented as quickly as possible and to the highest standards.

Our Content Management Solution allows our clients to easily manage all aspects of the content of their website without the need to contact us. Sites are generally easily managed and hassle-free once up and running but should need occur, we are just a quick email or phone call away.

Standard, office-based support is available from 10AM to 10PM Monday to Friday; that said we are a no-nonsense team and will always respond promptly when you need us.

Additionally, issues can be systematically registered for resolution and their progress tracked using our Issue Tracking System.

Issue Tracking System (Due Online: 4th Quarter 2007)

With each project we provide access to our Issue Tracking system available at http://issuetracker.ParallelComputerSolutions.com/.

This issue tracking system will ensure that issues never get overlooked. Client staff are setup as project administrators allowing them to add more staff accounts when needed.

The issue tracking system sends notification emails to all relevant parties when issues are added or updated and provides a comment system for organised discussion of theses issue.

The issue tracking system wil be available throughout the lifetime of the project - from development to deployment and beyond.
