Our services include:

Directory Services

Enterprise directories serve an increasingly critical role in maintaining a safe, reliable network. As the central location for user authentication, network administration and identity management, your organization relies on the help of a directory to make crucial decisions about access to sensitive information and delivery of a wide range of services. A well-designed, correctly implemented and well-managed directory delivers greater security, lower costs, and more efficient administration of your technology investments.

Blackwell has been assisting its customers with strategic decisions, vendor selection, directory design, implementation and integration for numerous years across multiple directory platforms. Let Blackwell help you bring greater efficiency, security and manageability to your network.

Electronic Messaging and Collaboration

Today's workforce doesn't just demand highly available and effective e-mail, it requires it. In addition, the task of delivering a reliable messaging service has become more complex.

•Security

Your company's e-mail environment is ground zero for virus threats, spam and other risks to your organization's most important communications. Blackwell can assist you with the strategic planning and implementation of anti-virus and spam content filtering solutions, digital signatures and encryption and information rights management.

•Mobile Workforce

From solutions for thin clients, PDAs, and mobile wireless access to integrating your e-mail with an IP telephony solution (unified messaging), Blackwell has the experience and expertise to bring greater access and efficiency to your organization.

•Collaboration

Effective communication requires more than access, it requires tools to enable flexible, spontaneous communication within and across teams. Today's collaboration tools such as instant messaging, digital whiteboard, application sharing, video conferencing, and document management solutions can ensure that your workforce has the tools it needs to communicate quickly, efficiently and creatively.

Blackwell can assist you with these e-mail challenges. We have more than 10 years of experience designing, implementing and consolidating e-mail solutions on every major platform, including Microsoft, IBM, Sun and Novell for companies with 1,000 to 100,000 e-mail users.

Servers and Storage

Whether you are looking to reduce spending through consolidation, migrating to a new platform or deploying a critical application, Blackwell can provide you with the experience and expertise you need to do the job right. We provide strategic consulting, design and implementation services for server consolidations and migrations, storage area networks (SAN), network area storage (NAS) and high availability clustering solutions.

Identity Management

Today's global organizations are grappling with the challenge of managing secure access to information and applications scattered across a wide range of internal and external systems. As an organization extends geographically, it is increasingly challenging to provide access to the growing number of internal and external users (employees, partners, customers, vendors, etc.), without diminishing security or exposing sensitive information. Even more daunting is the task of managing multiple versions of users accounts across multiple applications.

Blackwell works with companies to assess their identity management needs and develop a strategic plan to become more secure. Understanding that this type of investment can be costly, Blackwell has worked with large-scale organizations to develop the business case that articulates the ROI.

Blackwell is also familiar with designing the processes that are critical to making this type of implementation successful. Although Blackwell is technology agnostic, we have worked with some of the leading identity technology product vendors in the market and have the experience to help organizations weave through the various tools and make the right decisions.
