Infrastructure and Computer Security

The infrastructure design of our corporate and client networks is the foundation to a company's work processes. Engineered layouts ensure that the company can grow without reorganizing networks down the road. Careful consideration is given to the company's ability to relocate information, personnel and offices without the tedious overhead from the IT staff.

We also firmly believe that computer security is an important issue today; so we strive to ensure that network access is limited properly, as well as creatively. This allows employees to have access only to the data and programs required to perform their duties. Security also includes taking measures that protect your investment from would-be hackers.

Business and Production Applications

At BEI Advanced Technologies, we strive to tie together all client applications into one seamless system that are available to any employee. We utilize a custom-built system whereby the network force-loads employee-needed applications wherever he/she may be logged into the network. This allows unlimited flexibility and efficiency of the network pertaining to mobility and future changes in layout or personnel.

Data Distribution and Automation

When determining if automation will help our company, we calculate the savings from a long-term point-of-view. These long-term cost savings are measured by return on investment (ROI) by evaluating labor costs and costs incurred when there are inconsistencies in the double-entered data.

The most costly aspects of running any business are double entry of data, data management and data distribution. We have given priority to removing this redundancy at BEI by writing 'engines' which sync all databases on the fly from production, payroll, human resources, accounting and information technologies. This ensures 100% consistency across the board, and eliminates the high overhead of re-entering data and allows our professionals to focus on advancing instead of day-to-day paperwork and data entry.
