[
In accordance with the service level agreement in place, Integr8 IT has placed
a technician on site on a full-time basis, to assist the company in managing
and maintaining its Microsoft Windows-based environment.
Three years ago, the Home Loan Guarantee Company approached Integr8 IT to
assist in evaluating and enhancing its network infrastructure. The decision was
made to migrate from a Novell to a Microsoft-based environment. This included a
move to Microsoft Windows 2003 and Exchange.
In 2007, management at the Home Loan Guarantee
Company has requested that Integr8 IT manage its entire ICT infrastructure and
network infrastructure. This incorporated solutions from Integr8 IT's extensive line of managed services, including
G8Keeper.
Interaction with existing and potential stakeholders is of primary importance
to the Home Loan Company because of the way it manages its risk, particularly
in the implementation of its HIV and Aids cover. The company also relies
heavily on its ability to relay up-to-date and relevant information to its
international financial partners.
"Optimum levels of connectivity and guaranteed uptime are key requirements
for the client. Our portfolio of managed services is connected to our national
call centre and help-desk facility, so as to maintain
a consistent level of support and service. The infrastructure allows for a more
robust and scalable platform in order for the organisation
to effectively interface with local and international partners, a crucial
element of the organisation's operation,"
explains Robert Sussman,
joint-MD at Integr8 IT.
Aside from facilitating access to housing finance, the Home Loan Company
provides housing finance-related education and training to the affordable
housing market, using a national network of trainers.
"It is absolutely critical that the company's digital nervous system
remains linked to partners," adds Sussman.
"The Home Loan Guarantee Company has enhanced its technological capability
and this will certainly reinforce its business. There are a vast amount of NGOs
that are not aware of the advantages and opportunities that exist with regard
to licensed software and applications. Our approach is to analyse
the business, understand what they do and why they do it, and then facilitate
an effective ICT investment strategy."
