Getting Ayrmer Software ready for 2011

Getting Ayrmer Software ready for 2011 150 150 Small Business IT Solutions

 

Thanks to the recent winter weather, getting down to Devon has proved a little tricky but that hasn’t stopped Hightrees Organisation from helping Ayrmer Software get ready for their new Sales Director, Vince McConville, who takes post in 2011.

We have remotely created the new emails addresses, new email aliases, reconfigured the Asterisk VoIP server wth new extensions and queue handling, added new VoIP handsets to the VoIP system as well as provided VPN Access, which has proved its worth in the last week where staff have been unable to get into the office.  The VPN access has allowed email and data access to the central server, allowing staff to work from home – in the warm !

Hightrees Organisation Limited have been on site in Trowbridge recent to to upgrade Amber staff with new Acer Revo PC’s and with the standard Amber software (Microsoft Office 2003, Outlook with Google Apps Sync, Internet Explorer 9 and Firefox).  As well as the Staff getting some “new toys”, the residents or “Amberteers” also got some new PC’s for helping them with the Amber programme.
The Amberteers network uses LTSP/K12Linux based server, allowing their Acer Revo PC’s to network boot to provide a Linux Desktop along with OpenOffice, Firefox and other open-source applications for basic use of the Internet and Document Creation. Restrictions are place for preventing inappropriate Internet use.
The exisiting networks have been split to help with internal security and restrictions are place for preventing inappropriate Internet use.

Remote Access and Control methods are in place to allow the site to be remotely monitored and controlled in the event of any problems with any of the software installations, minimising the need for onsite visits for minor issues.

One member of Staff was so impressed with the Open Source Software they promptly went and installed it on their home PC – the verdict “Successfully installed Fedora 14 at the weekend.  It’s great!
