Vertisys History

Vertisys was founded in 1992 based on providing fast reliable support of maintenance contracts for legacy customers that were left with no support after the demise of several Atlanta area system integrators. Since that time has grown from 3 core employees to 13 full-time employees and 3 contract professionals. During this time it has proven to be one of the most stable and consistent providers of network integration in the Atlanta area. During the 12 years that Vertisys has been in existence, many local, regional and national network integrators have come and gone in the Atlanta area.

One reason for Vertisys' longevity is the Vertisys philosophy - to provide simple and reliable solutions to complex IT problems. We have proven to consistently lower ongoing IT support costs by effectively implementing best of breed and best practice solutions while improving overall reliability. This philosophy has enabled us to establish enduring business relationships with our clients.

Vertisys Philosophy

In addition to our belief in simple and elegant solutions we also believe in providing the most complete and comprehensive set of services to our customers. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:

•  A partner and authorized reseller with the major players in the computer industry, including Microsoft, Novell, Cisco, IBM, Symantec, Veritas and HP and Checkpoint.

•  Authorized warranty depot center for HP and IBM.

•  Sales and repair for Verti”clone” hardware.

•  Network integrator and support partner for the leading network operating systems, such as Windows 2003 and Netware.

•  Custom DMS design for iManage and Worldox.

•  Network upgrade consulting, planning and implementation.

•  Complete “end-to-end” monitoring and management through our VIP service.

•  Internet connectivity, security design and implementation

•  E-mail, fax and collaboration design and implementation

•  In-house training personnel for classroom training, one-on-one training and help desk services.

Our philosophy also has an added benefit to our clients. By keeping the solutions simple and easily managed, they are able, in most cases, to manage and maintain the system on their own. This saves additional funds in the long-run by not requiring additional service expenditures to accomplish simple tasks.

Over the years, while Vertisys has been expanding its services, it has also been narrowing its market, eventually finding the majority of growth coming from the legal market. This has led Vertisys to develop a special understanding and appreciation for the specific needs of the legal market.

As our values indicate, we place reliability above all else and you can rest assured that whatever solution we may provide, it will be the most reliable solution available for your needs.

Vertisys Advantage

Vertisys is unique as compared to other network integrators working in the Atlanta market. First and foremost, Vertisys runs a complete HP, iManage and clustered Microsoft network in its office, utilizing the very technology we recommend, including a SAN solution. This gives us the luxury to use our own environment as a lab for new technology without the need to experiment at the expense of our clients.

The Vertisys advantage includes a number of benefits that we believe are hard to find in other integrators and “so-called” consultants. These benefits are as follows:

•  The luxury of dealing with veterans possessing a high level of expertise in their chosen fields, sound financial backing and an iron-clad commitment to providing only the very best equipment, software and services

•  Because we utilize our own training personnel, Vertisys is able to tailor all training classes to the specific client. To go a step further, Vertisys is able to train users on their own configuration and to adjust the speed and topic of each training class based on the ability of the users.

•  Since we provide a combination of hardware, software and service, we provide a seamless point of support in case any problem should arise. We take pride in accepting the responsibility of keeping every aspect of your system functioning at peak efficiency regardless of what it is or who made it.

•  Due to our level of partnership with Microsoft and iManage, we have access to NFR copies of all of their available software. This, combined with the fact that we run a total shop including the clustering hardware we are recommending, allows us to do design testing and beta migrations in our office without disrupting the users and IT professionals of the Firm.
