Small Business Services

Small businesses stand to benefit a lot by using Lotus Notes, Domino and other related tools. With IBM now offering Express pricing, it is more attractive than ever to move on to Lotus products. Do you run a small or medium business that uses Lotus Notes/Domino as a central part of your IS infrastructure? If yes, you should be familiar with a lot of these issues:

• Good technical help is hard to find - with system administration, user support and programming.
  
  
• When you find good people they are ridiculously expensive and impossible to retain.
  
  
• You have great ideas as to how your business needs to scale up, and how systems need to be put in place for the scaling to happen, but find that software solutions that let you scale up are either expensive to develop, or too generic.
  
  
• You are worried about information security lest someone break into your systems and take critical data from your business.
  
  

If these issues sound familiar, Maarga's small business services would be music to your ears. We can help you in every aspect of your information technology needs. Right from helping you decide what computers, what phone systems, fax machines to buy to helping you develop custom applications, maintaining your servers and supporting your users. You can get processes and systems that have solely been in the domain of big businesses till now. Security audits, business dashboards, dynamic web applications custom developed for you - all these at very affordable prices. So how do we do it? Elementary, we say. We combine the RAD capability of Lotus Notes along with the economic benefits of offshore outsourcing to create solutions that put your business on fast track. Here are a few of the things we can help you with:

• Planning your IT strategy. We will help you plan your Hardware, Network, Telecom and Software Investments with clear focus on return on investment and cash flow implications for your business.
  
  
• Dynamic web presence. We can help you with hosting either on Domino or Apache platforms. We can set up a dynamic website, with content management fully integrated so that your public website is professional.
  
  
• Setting up Intranets for your employees. Handling common tasks like sharing documents, time and expense reporting, leave approvals, performance appraisals, shared address books etc.
  
  
• Create your own knowledge management portal with document sharing, knowledge base search, blogging and creating communities of expertise.
  
  
• Security audit of your Notes installation. Ensuring that your access levels are not too loose, and minimizing risks of hacker attacks.
  
  
• Custom application development. Give wings to your dreams on how you want your organization to shape up, and we will build the necessary systems infrastructure for it.
  
  
• PDA access to your applications.
  
  
• Maintenance of your notes servers. We can remotely log in and maintain your servers, including initiating backups, monitoring space usage, processor usage etc.
  
  
• Support to your users. Using remote admin tools, we can provide hands on support to your users in using Notes clients and Domino servers.
  
  

All these come at very attractive prices, as we deliver most of our services from our offshore development center in Chennai, India. We have onsite consultants who can come over to your location for short periods of time to kick off and deploy projects, but the bulk of the work would be done out of India. We will interact with you over phone, email, a customer extranet and Instant Messaging and get the job done efficiently.

Don't put up with sub-standard service just because you are a small business. Call us and we will show you how you can get quality and value with the same vendor.
