Service levels

It is Adifo’s policy to guarantee the continuity of your IT-investment. Depending on the size of the automation project and on the kind of partnership you are looking for, Adifo provides a wide range of possible service levels.

A few examples:

Service contract

After the purchase of hardware and software, you can close a service contract with Adifo. A service contract includes free updates of software and free problem solving of hardware and software within an agreed amount of time.

Managed services

Managed services includes the outsourcing of certain basic concepts, like anti-virus policy, firewall management, anti-spam management, hosting, backup management and disaster recovery. According to an agreed time schedule, the Adifo consultant visits your company to check backups, install updates, etc.

Business continuity planning

Because of the companies’ dependence on the IT-infrastructure, Business continuity planning comes in. This involves risk assessment in case of the breakdown of one of your company’s key IT-components. Business Continuity Planning is situated at three levels: security, operational functioning and marketing loss.

Partial outsourcing

The customer stores part of his business applications in a data centre. E.g. an Adess application, or a Delta/Clipper application via citrix. This system offers extra security for company-critical software.

Total outsourcing

In this case, the customer does not dispose of own server infrastructure on site. All software, from Office to business applications is stored in a data centre. This implies that the customer no longer controls the entire IT structure. Advantage = high protection

  • Physical: fire security, air-conditioning, etc ….
  • disaster recovery,
  • extra virus protection
  • extra internet protection
  • secured working at home

Leasing

Hardware can also be leased.
