Network Consulting
Orbis provides a full line of network consulting services, including auditing, change control, managed services, and security...
Networking systems are becoming increasingly complicated. As the number of devices on the network
continues to grow, ensuring seamless functionality and consistent preformance requires careful and
proactive management of your network resources.
Orbis provides a full line of network security services - to ensure that you data is protected not
only on your desktop computer, but your servers, and as data traverses your network. Most data theft
happens at the network level - where control of port access is limited - and with the proliferation
of wireless networking, your data is more vulnerable than ever.
Further, Orbis is staffed by certified security engineers that can design network systems which ensure
data integrity from your home office to your remote user laptops.
Our work with government initiatives such as Information Assurace have enabled us to create custom
processes that make network security both cost effective and seamless to your business processes.
Project Management
Orbis is staffed by industy certified project managers to suit your every project management need...
As a member of PMI and staffed by Six Sigma Black Belt consultants, Orbis is uniquely equiped to handle
project management responsibilities ranging from one-off custom projects, to complete information
systems outsourcing.
When multiple vendors converge in your conference room, there is bound to be failure. Each technology
provider considers their solution to be the most important, and as such will ensure that the project
is organized to meet their objectives - often in opposition to what other vendors will require.
A dedicated project management team removes the burden from management and will deal with all aspects
of technology, including networking, client/server systems, phone systems, fax systems, security, voice
video, monitoring, remote sensing, and remote access systems.
By contracting with a third-party project management team with broad and deep technology experience, you
can have peace of mind knowing that all your systems will function as needed while maintaining the "big
picture" which requires that your security and compliance policies will not be compromised.
Compliance Certification
Orbis can evaluate your business and ensure that you meet industry compliance requirement...
Orbis has extensive experience with compliance of all kinds, including HIPAA, SOX, PCI, GLBA, FISMA, SEC, FDIC and
more.
Orbis has extensive experience in banking, healthcare, and financial compliance programs - from developing compliance
policies to implementing auditing proceedures and generating regular departmental reports that give you assurance
that your compliance policies are being met.
Security Auditing
Your information is your most valuable asset - Orbis can help you ensure your information is secure...
Security is not a technical subject - it comprises technical tools and good policy, combined with training
and regular auditing. More than 90% of information security compromises are related to poor training and
lack of policy enforcement. While technology systems are an important part of information security,
correct training and auditing of personnel practices are vital to information security.
Orbis has worked with organizations of all sizes, and has best practices and security policy templates
that can be quickly and seamlessly implemented into your business environment - rapidly ensuring a baseline
of information security while minimizing any impact on your current business processes.
Advanced Technology Pilots
Large projects and cutting edge technology often needs to be evaluated to determine how it best solves a business need...
Major technology projects often need to be studied to ensure viability of service and financial ROI.
To that end, Orbis can help you scope your project and develop a pilot program to adequately evaluate
and test a potential deployment before making a significant investment in time and resources before
potential problems and pitfalls have been engineered out of the system.
Orbis works with government and private enterprises to roll out pilot systems. In these situtions,
Orbis is able to balance the needs and demands of multiple stakeholders, while managing and
coordinating multiple vendors, all while working with our engineering and project management
staff to build a solid viability assessment for both service offerings and financial success.
Proof of Concept
For the ultimate in peace of mind, Orbis provides a full compliement of proof of concept engineering services that guarantee success...
When your company needs a guarantee of project success, Orbis' proof of concept model allows
you to observe, test, and study the solution as it will actually work in deployment - before
you make any investment.
This reduces most objections to new technology projects - where the fear of failure often
precludes the execution of the project. While proof of concept can take somewhat longer to
deliver to the customer, it comes with an iron-clad guarantee of performance.
Technology Trends & Valuations
Technology moves faster than business - cost justification requires constant research and proven forecasting methods...
Your business industry has it's own nuances, trends, and changes that you must manage and stay
ahead of in order remain competitive. Expecting your management team to understand and be ahead
of the technology curve simply is not realistic.
When it comes forecasting, trending, and valuation studies, Orbis can help you understand the
questions that you need to ask - giving you the often-elusive knowledge of "that which you
don't know."
When Orbis is your technology parter, our goal is to ensure that your technology is meeting your
business needs and is proactively working for you, to make your life easier, your job simpler,
and your employees more productive.
