The big picture

RISC.Solutions are greater than the sum of its parts

In many customer projects we have seen isolated solutions that were certainly technically correct - however - have been unfortunately never considered holistically. Often solutions just lacked the interface to other teams and sometimes a small technical or organizational nudge in the right direction.

Our Solutions have been verified often and were successfully implemented. We offer not only the know-how of our partners and employees on a technical-, but also on the business side.

For this reason, our team not only consists of young professionals, geeks and experienced consultants and architects, but also of project managers with a business background.

And as if that were not enough, our Developers support us in the implementation of ideas and solutions into useful applications.

You are welcome to have a look into our solution areas.

Automate IT

How to become faster more flexible and efficient.

The automation of IT processes is a key factor for the efficiency and agility of your IT infrastructure.

Whether you operate a classic infrastructure or an environment in a cloud, we know what is important. We help you in the selection of appropriate tools, technologies or processes and create - if you wish - your existing infrastructure in a fully way.

The problem of grown structures

Grown structures require a huge amount of time to transition into automated processes. They must be introduced gently, from a political perspective, into the individual company departments and require early involvement of all departments.

For this purpose we need to analyse the steps and actions that need to be taken. In the second step these actions are compared in conjunction with the current business processes.

If you have brought technology and organization together and the definition of objectives is communicated and matched, the selection of tools follows and is integrated into the business environment.

Our experienced consultants are not only technically proficient, but will assist you on some organizational or human hurdles.

Cloud Computing

Why there is no way around it.

PaaS services have grown into genuine enterprise platforms. Cloud Computing belongs besides Mobility to the main drivers of Enterprise IT. Both topics run side by side and the potential of Cloud Computing cannot be used without an aligned Mobility strategy and vice versa if you do not want to lose touch.

Which Cloud is the right one?
  • Private Cloud
  • Hybrid Cloud
  • Public Cloud

There is no easy answer to this.

Refit Datacenter

Make your data center fit for the next turn

Datacenter

Data centers play an important role. They ensure the support of your critical business processes and thus ensure your long-term success. The path away from static systems to a more flexible capacity and guaranteed availability represents many difficult questions you need to answer.

We know how important a good data center and network design is for you. Only on a stable basis you can build the foundation of your company's IT for a future-proof support of your business.

Not only portions of your data center should be considered. If you start thinking about a new storage system it also makes sense to think about a redesign of the storage and network stack. New technologies or components are often integrated in structures that are not optimal for the operation and may therefore not bring their full benefit.

There are many approaches that can be followed:

Rethink Your Deployment Strategy!

Virtual machines and templates simplify the deployment process. However they also lead to the provisioning of servers without looking at the long-term benefit of the individual machines. Through policies and processes clear guidelines should be available for the operation of the infrastructure .

 

Automate!

The initial outlay for automating key components pays off in the long term in relation to the seized reproducibility. Furthermore, it ensures that knowledge is retained.

 

Observe!

Incorporate monitoring tools that will help in ensuring the operation and service level . If you do not know what your infrastructure does , you do not use the full benefit of automation.

 

Stay current!

The phrase "Never change a running system" should disappear from your language. Old software versions provide increased migration effort and problems in combination with other infrastructure components. You would not buy a neglected used car, right?

 

Prepare for the worst!

Only if you are planning for the worst your data center can continue to run and support the important business processes. Safety always costs money, but one week of an outage with damage to your company´s image and financial loss cannot be quantified easily.

Mobile Enterprise

Exploit the potential of your employees

Mobility strategies and technologies are the fundament of measurable business success. They support your employees in the office and in the field and help driving success. The introduction of Enterprise Mobility leads to:

  • Facilitated information exchange
  • Better communication of your employees
  • Higher customer satisfaction
  • Increased agility

The right approach is important and he goes far beyond pure BYOD devices and its management. Additional aspects like security, network and privacy requirements need to be considered.

If you need to have external access to applications with sensitive data the introduction of RDS/VDI environments with remote access is crucial.

Many companies are concerned about the right strategy. We help with the hurdles that may come along your way.
