Vodafone Egypt

VIT has provided consistent technical support to  Vodafone Egypt in their Head quarters for about 3 months. A cluster of engineers are outsourced to take care of an NT4 pilot migration project to ensure smooth business operations and no computer related downtime.

Vodafone Egypt manages diverse projects at any given time. To improve conventional method of project management, it was time for the organization to move from manual to electronic solution. VirgiTech EPM deployment had to connect all the Project planners and Operations monitors at corporate and regional offices and Project Managers at different sites into a cohesive team that would enable collation of information on projects status, and costs at any given point in time. Vodafone Egypt decided to implement an Enterprise Project management Solution (EPMS) using Microsoft Project Server because it offered the best mix of functionality and flexibility.

This would help the organization to continue to grow and manage its portfolio of projects and operations. VIT implemented the solution with the help of Microsoft Consulting Services (MCS) which delivered end-to-end solution in just four months. Vodafone Egypt has accrued several benefits.

VirgiTech EPM solution provided an up-to-date view of enterprise wide projects with the current status. Its collaboration tools have improved intra and inter division coordination. Built on a secure and scalable foundation, the solution integrates with its existing infrastructure as well as business processes.

Indian Embassy
Indian Embassy has partnered with VIT for the past 3 years to provide all their computer repair, and IT support including computer technical services, server migration, workstation updates, security protection and technology design. These services have allowed the client to forego hiring a full time IT person to support their network.

VirgiTech once a week technician performs all the software updates necessary to keep the client up-to-date with the current accounting software forms and procedures. Since most of the work they perform involves applications accessed via the Internet, uptime and response time are critical to the operation of their business.

Having an on call technician affords the clients the ability to always keep operating with minimized downtime, but at a cost savings in employee overhead. In 2004, the Indian Embassy has called VIT to establish an entry level enterprise network while also maintaining and developing it to fit future needs.

The Embassy had a medium-sized LAN and needed it to have access to the internet. The Embassy provided a Cisco router and needed enhanced security before they could implement the addition of their web-server and other internet server.

VIT recommended security solution including 2 firewalls based on 2 different technologies, Microsoft and Cisco Firewall as the solution. A highly secure firewall strategy was written up and enacted allowing only traffic meant specifically for a server to reach the server it was destined for.

Abercrombie and Kent Egypt
One of the largest Tourism companies in the world; its main branch had the need to recover from an Exchange server failure. The combination of hardware failures and software installation problems resulted in a crashed email server that lost many current emails.

The client was down for about 3 days and unable to communicate via email with their clients.

Since email was the main form of communication for all proposal, change orders and getting client approval they had a disaster on their hands. They turned to VIT's network crisis management team who provided them with immediate response and resolution.

The results were fast, efficient and most importantly successful. By combining a server rebuild, expanded storage installation and updating tape back up procedures VIT was able to rectify a bad situation.

PC Professional was able to repair the corrupted database that continued for 18 hours and restored the Exchange server with the normal functionality.

VIT did as well update all security patches, keep virus protection active and monitored, and support the users in production through a secure protected environment.
