Microsoft Exchange

At McKeeCo.Net we have over 7 years experience building and supporting Microsoft Exchange Server platforms, including Exchange 5.5, 2000 and 2003.  Exchange, in combination with Microsoft Outlook, offers unsurpassed e-mail and scheduling collaboration and management, offering significant ROI (Return on Investment) over Linux or ISP hosted alternatives.  Contacts, calendars and mailboxes can be shared between users, allowing flexible management of time and resources.  Today’s Exchange 2003 server technology has reached full maturity and open programming interfaces allow implementation of a wide range of add-ons to increase productivity and protect your computing environment. 

 

Exchange also supports the remote user as never before, with highly functional Web access to your e-mail, contacts, schedule, corporate calendar, public folders, etc, as well as far reaching wireless synchronization technologies.  Native journaling lets corporations and small businesses alike implement functional and compliant audit trails of all e-mail activity.  Outlook 2003 takes the headaches out of working offline and synchronizing your e-mail with the home office. 

 

The end result is that the COO gets the functionality and productivity desired for end users without compromising security, quickly and inexpensively. 

 

At McKeeCo.Net, we are expert in full implementation of Microsoft Exchange Server for even complex multiple office environments.  Finally, the Microsoft Small Business Server licensing, coupled with McKeeCo.Net low consulting rates, makes this full technology bonanza available to budget minded small companies. 

 

Wireless Office

We have extensive experience implementing and supporting Research In Motion’s Blackberry Enterprise Server, allowing real-time receipt of e-mail and instantaneous real-time synchronization of calendar events and even contacts.  We also implement and support Microsoft’s wireless ActiveSync, available on an increasing number of Internet-enabled Phones and PDA’s.  Never fumble for a contact address or phone number again.  When a user in the office adds a contact or a calendar appointment to your Exchange mailbox, it’s updated to your wireless device in seconds.  You can even view and edit common attachments on your handheld device. 

 

Anti-Virus

We support a full line of enterprise, multi-tiered anti-virus products, including McAfee and Symantec.  Incoming e-mail messages and attachments are scanned for viruses when they arrive.  The Exchange level scanning closes “back door” entry via user access of POP3 mail accounts that are delivered to their Exchange Mailboxes.  Server file systems are fully protected, too, making shared files on a server a more safe venture.

Anti-Spam Solutions

Postini is the industry leader in offering third-party anti-spam support.  At McKeeCo.Net consulting, we can help you find the right reseller for a small environment and get you up and running in minutes.  Postini, however, while an excellent solution for many environments, is expensive and requires extra steps on the part of the user.  For environments where the budget is limited and especially where there is a large number of public e-mail distribution groups (e.g. support, info, marketing, etc….), we offer ant-spam protection via more the affordable and highly flexible NoSpamToday software solution, which utilizes the powerful Spam Assassin engine.  This product is only as good as its configuration, however, and we are expert in tailoring NoSpamToday to meet your specific needs for highly effective SPAM blocking with virtually no false positives.

 

Citrix Server

Citrix offers the most secure, robust and flexible remote desktop software available to small and large businesses alike.  Our experience with Citrix can help your business solve complex remote computing problems.  Our current client base includes remote users who are running accounting software across the country and across the Atlantic, as if the database were running locally- completely securely, and with unbelievable reliability and stability.  Collaborate with clients by selecting sharing access to your document management application, without shelling out cash hand over fist for expensive add-on ASP solutions.  Give your sales team full access to full-featured Outlook 2003, even when they’re working on a foreign computer behind restrictive corporate firewalls. 

 

Symantec Ghost

We have years of experience building standardized desktops and the ability to roll them out to as many machines as desired, simultaneously, via Symantec’s Ghost product.  By maintaining desktop standards and leveraging the power of the Ghost product, you can dramatically lower the demands on your IT staff.  Already spent four hours troubleshooting a problem that’s specific to a machine, with no resolution in sight?  Forget it, and put a new image on the drive in minutes.  Problem solved (see roaming profiles). 

 

 

Automatic Application Delivery

Need to install or upgrade applications to tens or hundreds of machines?  On Demand’s WinInstall can do the job for you.  Building a WinInstall profile, however, can be fraught with pitfalls, and a poorly designed package can spell disaster for your entire desktop environment.  We have been designing and rolling out program and desktop environment modifications using WinInstall since the program’s inception in the Windows 95 days, and are well versed in the nuances of this work.  But our expertise in delivering product to the desktop is not limited to the use of WinInstall.  We know when to sneak in a simple registry modification, transparently to users, or when to use simple batch files  or native silent installation features to get the job done. 

 

 

 

 

Microsoft Server

Microsoft Server is the core of today’s small to medium business computing environment.  We have been supporting Microsoft operating systems since DOS 3.3, through the painful early years of Windows and into the mature network operating systems stemming from Windows Server NT 4.0.  The advent of Windows 2000 Server and Microsoft’s Active Directory answer to Novell’s Directory Services ushered Windows into serious data centers previously reserved for Unix and Novell servers with it’s newfound stability, scalability and features.  Despite its over 50 million lines of code, Windows server 2003 delivers a level of stability and manageability that far out paces its predecessors.  Companies need server management by technicians who deal with Windows Server 2003 on a daily basis.  At McKeeCo.Net, we are fully qualified to fully implement and support Microsoft Server Operating Systems. 

 

Document Management

Where core business services are dependent on document production, document management is a must, especially in the legal environment where faulty versioning is a malpractice liability issue.  We have over seven years experience in supporting Interwoven’s iManage document management product.  iManage offers the most reliable, flexible, accessible and intuitive document management on the market today.  Our experience includes full installation and support of the iManage product line, as well as complex migration projects from foreign document management systems (e.g. Docs Open) and importation of large document stores external to any existing document management system. 

 

Internet Connectivity and Security

Our years of experience have made us expert in designing and implementing complex LAN and WAN infrastructures, including VPN tunneling between offices and remote workstations.  We have over 8 years of experience implementing and supporting Sonicwall firewall and VPN solutions, assuring your network is secure from electronic espionage and malicious attacks, and at a fraction of the price of Cisco systems.  We are expert in maximizing uptime, too, with longstanding experience in implementing innovative failover systems and in dealing with Internet Service Providers.  We go the extra step, too, in helping to find a balance between open systems and security, assuring your data is available when and were needed, without compromising security.

 

Backup

While backup may seem to be an easily achieved solution, we have found that effective implementation and maintenance of backup systems in complex environments requires a high degree of innovation in designing robust systems, balancing budget against time constraints, archival requirements, disaster recovery design and user demands.  We recommend and have years of experience supporting Veritas Backup Exec for full and flexible protection of all your data.  Backup design includes multi-level protection of your Microsoft Exchange database, document stores, SQL database tables and your core server platforms.  We are also expert at identifying the ideal cost/benefit points for hardware purchases.  You backup is only as good as the media on which it lives.

 

Paperless Office

We have successfully implemented fully robust document imaging systems, wherein paper documents are scanned into Adobe Acrobat PDF document format, “OCR’d” to make the text fully searchable, and imported into iManage.  The result is that all production documents are available at your desktop.

 

Desktop Applications

At McKeeCo.Net, we fully support desktop operating  systems and applications, the integration of which can be a real headache.  You can count on us to help you get the most productivity out of your software investment.

 

Novell Netware

Our experience in networking goes back before Microsoft was even in the server market, to the days of Novell 2.1.  We have been installing and supporting Novell servers ever since.  If you have mission critical servers running Novell, we can fully support your environment and bring seamless integration with your Windows server and desktop environment, too. 

 

Roaming Profiles and Global Policies

Tired of hearing your users complain of lost settings when their machines crash, or of the endless repetitive setup for new users or when rebuilding a user profile?  Concerned about security beyond file-level access?  At McKeeCo.Net, we’ve been fully implementing and supporting Local, System and Global Policies and Roaming Profiles since their inception.  You can gain nearly absolute control over your users’ computing options, such as preventing them from editing the registry or installing programs.  Create a new user profile ONCE, and copy it for new users when they arrive, or replace corrupt profiles quickly and easily.  Any user can logon to any machine and retain ALL their settings, including Microsoft Office settings and Web cookies, etc…  Too many companies and even consulting contractors leave these extremely powerful and cost saving features by the wayside.  At McKeeCo.net, we’ll help you further leverage your existing software investment to lower IT costs.
