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.
