· Are there times when you arrive at work prepared to read your email but soon discover that the email system is temporarily unavailable?

· Is every computer in your Head Start program networked so that files, applications, printers, and fax machines can be easily shared across center locations?

· Is the design of your current computer network no longer adequate enough to support additional workstations?

A computer network needs constant monitoring and tuning to ensure that data is transmitted as quickly and as reliably as possible. DHS provides certified staff who are experts in configuring and maintaining networks for optimal data transmission, reliability, and scalability.

Digital Head Start Solutions will provide staff who will be solely responsible for administering your computer network. We can perform tasks such as adding and maintaining user ids and passwords, adding workstations, installing software programs, and performing backups.

Digital Head Start Solutions consists of Microsoft and/or Novell certified staff who are specifically skilled in planning and designing Local Area Networks (LANs) and Wide Area Networks (WANs). By using advanced network planning vendor tools and conducting needs assessments, DHS assists our clients with selecting the best network solution for their specific needs. We propose enhancements in specific segments of your network, identify potential areas for slow performance in data transmission, and design the network to handle anticipated growth. Monitoring of the network from a centralized remote location is also available.
