Spirit Consulting - Computer Consulting Firm

The most common public perception of the Internet Service is the one which involves the creation and development of a "Web Site". This is part of the Spirit Consulting service, but our forte is not limited to the traditional Web Site that typically contains a series of linked "pages", but rather a solution that explores the evolution of the site into more of a "system" that can extend the communications within an organization both internally and externally.

The Spirit Consulting "Data Center", allows for the development and hosting of custom solutions that use the Internet, and links or extensions of existing Web Sites, as a means for both intracompany and intercompany communications. Intracompany solutions allow individuals within the company to communicate, in an independent forum hosted at the Spirit Data Center, outside the internal company network in a secure manner minimizing impact on existing company infrastructure. Intercompany solutions allow for secure communications between companies minimizing concerns over internal company firewall issues and/or the need to the procure additional support from internal system administration and technical personnel.

Another aspect of the Spirit Consulting Custom Internet Service is the ability to utilize the infrastructure resident within the Spirit Data Center as a test facility to design and test an application or enhancements to existing applications. This can include a test environment for a solution similar to an initial company Web Site, an extension of an existing Web Site or Intranet application, or a test bed for a brand new company-deployed Intranet application. All of the testing can occur without impacting existing internal company infrastructure or requiring the need to involve support from additional administrative personnel.

As is the case with our Consulting and Application Development Services, the Spirit/Client Portal is an integral part of Spirit Consulting's Internet/Intranet Service. The Spirit/Client Portal is an effective means to track progress, demonstrate functionality and provide a roadmap to both the Internet/Intranet Services that Spirit Consulting provides and other Internet and/or Intranet addresses that may be relevant to the business activities of the client organization.

Spirit Consulting's participation in the Application Service Provider (ASP) business is unique in that all clients that may have similar application needs do not necessarily need to utilize the same exact environment. Although it is efficient to leverage off of existing functionality and design wherever possible, our approach assumes that the capability to customize in the client's own private environment is the optimum method of application hosting. With the opportunity to customize, solutions can created from a template ASP model that can be more focused on supporting individual client needs rather than supporting the needs of all client organizations that may be involved with the same business activity. This ability to customize reduces the clutter that is often present with the standard ASP model that typically attempts to force a single solution for all client groups involved with the same business activity.
