Whether upgrading your LAN or starting from scratch, Magi ensures increases in productivity, communication and organizational effectiveness. We will initially conduct a thorough site survey and needs analysis, work with you to create your network design, and finally, our staff will guide you through the various implementation stages. We then integrate the various systems (Novell, NT, UNIX) into a single unit.

The decision to go to a Network to run your applications allows you to enjoy a number of benefits:

Increase Growth and Efficiency

A LAN increases productivity by allowing all users with security clearance to share information stored on a central file server. This increases the speed of information access and reduces duplication of effort.

Minimize Cost

With a network, individuals share cost intensive equipment such as printers and disk drives, thereby minimizing expenses. Your LAN provides greater control of software packages, enabling you to easily select the version required. Network software is also considerably less expensive than stand alone software on a per user basis.

Protect Corporate Data

Corporate data is thoroughly protected through a UPS (Universal Power Supply), network security software and software back-up systems.

Improve Communications

By using remote communication tools, you can access clients and supplier computer systems.

Gain a Competitive Edge

Staying ahead of the competition has become increasingly challenging in today's marketplace. The advanced computing technology recommended is a tangible advantage to winning in this complex environment.

Project Management

Magi believes that as in many tasks, Network implementation requires a high level of organization and project management to achieve success. While this is a simple philosophy it takes experience and intelligence to make sure that a computer system is installed and running properly and that the ultimate performance is obtained from the software and hardware in place. With this in mind, we assign all new accounts to a Senior Project Manager who performs the following functions:
  • Ensures all existing applications are moved from the local stations to the LAN. (where applicable)
  • Ensures users have access to all applications they had before, together with those newly installed on the server.
  • Determines the skill level of users and supervisors, in order to assess the required level of training and to make recommendations for additional training.
  • Coordinates all members of the Magi team into a cohesive unit. This includes ensuring that equipment is delivered on time, upgrades are ordered, training is scheduled at the optimum time, etc.
  • Identifies other areas in the corporate MIS that can benefit from Magi solutions.
  • Finds those areas which should be reviewed in the future as a means of expanding the benefits throughout your organization.

Cabling

A sound cabling system is the infrastructure upon which a successful LAN is built. Its reliability is a must to insure quick and efficient communication between the workstations and fileservers. Magi understands that installation of modern high speed data transfer cable requires highly trained personnel whose expertise and knowledge is unquestionable. It is our goal to avoid common errors such as pinching and stretching and ensure smooth pagoalssage for data moving at ever faster speeds.

We satisfy all of you needs with design and installation of twisted pair, coax and fibre optic cable for Ethernet, Token Ring and Arcnet Topologies.
