Government > Central Government
Central Government has always had it’s own unique challenges with new laws and changes of policy upgrading an IT project from initial planning stages to immediate priority overnight.
At ST-FOUR we understand the sensitivity of Government Projects. The need for careful planning and coordination between everyone involved in a project and the need to have a fall back at every stage so that if the worse comes to the worse users can still function means that close adherence to departmental project management methodologies is essential.
ST-FOUR have experience working on Central Government projects at a number of levels from advisory to emergency system troubleshooting.
HOT TOPICS for Central Government are:
- Systems Integration – using tools like IDM and iChain to provide secure single sign-on solutions across multiple disparate systems for both external and internal access
- Data Resilience and Replication – using SAN technologies, Stretched and Clustered clusters and RSYNC to protect data 24/7 and replicate data offsite for DR purposes and File System Factory to automate and manage data storage creation, modification and deletion based on eDirectory events, imagine moving a user in eDirectory and all their data automatically moves with them to a new server!
- Freedom of Information and Data Protection Act Compliance - making sure that current Novell systems such as GroupWise and NetWare can be searched centrally to bring back accurate search results as part of information retrieval compliance.
- User Lifecycle Management – using tools like IDM to automate user creation, moves and expiration/deletion on multiple directories and SQL databases
