Custom Network Management Solutions

Our network management clients rely on us to keep the IT side of their business up and running–no matter what happens.  We make use of our uncommon experience and cross-industry knowledge to give you IT solutions few others can.

A few of the highlight solutions in which we have proven our value to our clients over the past while include:

 

BC Air Filter
When our client’s critical AS/400 business server was stolen, we quickly set up multiple account access for and remotely hosted all of their IT-driven business functions until they got a new AS/400.
This ability to rapidly and remotely host our client’s IT functions was assisted by their owning KDI’s NetSentron hardware firewall server, which allowed top-level secure, over-the-Internet data transfer between their location and ours.  Without KDI and our NetSentron product, our client would have been unable to conduct any IT-driven business. Their computer network could have been down for weeks.  With us, their operations and revenue stream continued with minimal interruption.

 

Western Concord Manufacturing
An important PC with vital data on it failed at our client’s Edmonton location. Unable to find a local service firm with the required expertise, our technician undertook a rapid response fly-out to site. The key data was quickly restored and functionality returned to normal.  Without our focused expertise, the client’s labeling database would have taken many days to recreate.

 

Pacific First Dental and Health Plans
When our client expanded into offices on another level in their building, we acted in ‘general contractor’ capacity to coordinate telephone and network infrastructure layout and installation.   In this capacity, KDI staff were able to achieve functionality of the new offices as soon as possible.  If we had not taken on these duties, the infrastructure could have ended up installed in an uncoordinated way, resulting in difficulty of use and a frustrated client.

 

Intercontinental Truck Body
ITB experienced an overnight fire that destroyed an entire building. Our team quickly responded, setting up temporary connections and work locations in other buildings for people who had lost their offices in the fire.
As rebuilding and renovation continued, KDI staff worked with ITB to plan and execute network infrastructure changes. For example, the roof of the building that housed the server room was removed during the replacement process. At that time we rearranged cabling and equipment to safer locations to ensure business operations kept running smoothly during the renovation.  Our familiarity with ITB’s operations enabled us to adjust their IT to changing conditions while keeping the network fully operational.
