IT Facilities Management

Whether it’s your "back room" or your desktop, a large scale computer center or your local area network, CSC can help you manage your IT investment. True value comes from improvements in productivity, quality, time to deliver and customer service. Information requirements drive IT architectures, and investments in IT infrastructures must demonstrate positive returns on these investments.

Small organizations with simple systems and large organizations with complex LANs require support from time to time. CSC is an expert at determining and ensuring that you continuously maintain the most cost-effective IT inventory once it is put in place. Organizations invest capital and resources in their IT systems - and it is critical that these investments work effectively for us at all times. We do it for ourselves at worldwide locations, and for many customers.

The key to the complex information technology facilities management is planning. CSC can help you determine how to manage replacement parts, or ensure that your users always have the latest versions of the applications they depend on every day. By employing open network architectures, we protect your IT investment, and provide even greater value to your enterprise. Our experienced staff maximizes the quality of critical IT support for your organization, minimizing learning curves as well as technical and financial risks.

What We Offer || Success Stories

What We Offer

Infrastructure Refreshment
Capital management guides asset replacement strategies; planned obsolescence allows for balancing of technological advances with budgetary constraints - so that an organization does not have to replace an entire network at one time and significant cost. CSC tracks technological enhancements and helps you determine how to implement them in your IT infrastructure. Our innovative research and development labs focus on future changes in technology and on better ways to do what we do today. We test and evaluate the best new information and networking technologies, assessing potential value to our customers.

Configuration Management
CSC helps you inventory your IT infrastructure in order to facilitate upgrades to your hardware and software. Configuration management (CM) can track equipment by serial number or other identification number. It also tracks and controls approved software versions and ensures that no upgrade is released before it is thoroughly tested. Finally, CM manages documents which describe your system and guide users, ensuring accuracy and controlling changes which may be needed as the system evolves.

Seat Management
Seat management enables an enterprise to define types of user configurations, ranging from basic user to scientific/technical user; each seat or user type is "packaged" with a configuration and application toolset which will support that user type. Seat management enables organizations to easily maintain and upgrade desktop configurations, according to the needs of the end user

Technical Support
CSC currently supports more than 100 customer operations worldwide. We provide round-the clock customer service and restoral services for data centers, complex legacy systems, and client-server environments. Our technical support staff is trained to install, integrate/test, maintain and optimize information technology resources -- and to help our customers learn to effectively use their systems.

Office Automation Support
CSC resolves the problems which can interrupt your work and decrease your productivity. Whether it’s your email system, access to the Internet or data sharing needs, or configuring desktops for optimum performance, CSC can help you automate your office - or improve your current office automation processes.

Desktop Services
Desktop services provided by experienced technical professionals help end users learn and use IT resources effectively. Training can be accomplished at a user's desktop via computer aided instruction or from technical experts who can show your users how to effectively use available resources. We can add internet, extranet and intranet services, perform preventive maintenance services, or install software upgrades - at your user's convenience.

Staging
We set up new IT environments and prepare them fully for implementation. Before upgrading your computer center, CSC will test to ensure that the transition is as smooth as possible. We've done this for years, for programs implementing new desktop systems, and for programs for whom we've installed nationwide mainframe processors. At our northern Virginia facility, we've configured systems and tested them prior to shipment to our customers - to facilitate installation and operation upon delivery to your site.

Success Stories

In 1994, CSC installed the Joint Staff Automation for the Nineties (JSAN) network, comprised of 1,500 workstations and other equipment joined by a FDDI backbone. This backbone has since accommodated projected data communications capabilities. Since completing the installation, we have continued to solve integration issues as new hardware and software are added to the system. We continue to provide first-class user support and a highly rated training program that has taught hundreds of personnel how to make the best use of the new tools.
