Tips for choosing a leading partner for the maintenance of the computing system and information security

In the dynamic field of technology, choosing a reliable integration and information security company is of utmost importance for optimizing and maintaining the computer systems in the organization.

Tips to help you find the best partner for smooth integration and strong security: Integration solutions optimized for optimal performance: Check which solutions the integration company offered to customers with a similar nature of activity, pay attention to the creativity that the integration company demonstrated in providing the solution and whether the solution actually optimizes and improves the computing system and information security in your organization.

Proven expertise in advanced integration technologies: Be interested in the customer's technical teams. Check whether there is a broad umbrella of expert services in the field of computing and information security with an emphasis on specialization in the equipment and systems you have in your organization.
In addition, it is important to examine whether the partner strives for innovation and this can be understood from the projects he has carried out and the experts he has in his organization

Comprehensive information security to comply with regulation: Check how the provider sees the issue of security in his organization. A provider that invests in information security in its organization will most likely find it important that its customers are also secure.
Check whether the provider has certificates that show that he considers information security important in his organization, example 27001

Collaborative approach: If the partner is required to strengthen the local team both in terms of knowledge and in terms of professional level, investigate how this works in practice.
It is important that the partner presents an orderly methodology of division of responsibilities between the local team and the partner team.
Synergy between the teams will lead to process optimization and an efficient, maintained and secure computing environment.

Quality support to minimize downtime: Delve into the importance of the partner in introducing proactive maintenance and consulting practices in order to reduce the chances of downtime and unmaintained systems.
Proactive maintenance is necessary to maintain a stable and secure system, so investigate how the partner does this in practice.

Economical solutions with long-term value: Economy is not a derogatory word, explore how the partner shows creativity to save costs of products/services but at the same time maintains the quality of the solution. A high cost will not always deliver the right product/service. The services and products must be exactly tailored to the customer.
For example, in the worlds of information security, today it is better to rely on one platform (Microsoft, Portegate, Cisco, etc..) which will both bring down costs and improve the quality of information security through consolidation (communication between the information security systems).

By implementing these tips, you'll be well on your way to choosing a leading integration and information security partner that will safely move your organization forward.
