Brian Szastak named as Director of Business Development

We are pleased to announce the addition of Brian Szastak as Director of Business Development at Infiniti Systems Group. Brian responsibilities will focus on our Security, Project Delivery and IT Staffing business segments. His focus will be improving our customer security infrastructure and project performance for application support and development.

Brian brings over 10 years of experience within the IT Consulting and Staffing fields. Brian started out his career in 1998 with a Cleveland area IT Consulting Firm. He was responsible for new Business Development and Project Management. Brian maintained this role for over six years growing the organization into a successful, 3.5 million company. He then served as the Business Development Manager with one of the largest IT Staffing Firms in the United States. He served successfully in this position for over 3 years growing the local Cleveland office in terms of revenue. Most recently Brian accepted a position as the Director of Business Development at Infiniti Systems Group.

Feeling Secure

OPLIN also found that they had more questions than answers, like:

What is the state of security on the OPLIN wide area network?

What is the state of security at the majority of libraries connected to the OPLIN WAN?

What security services do they need?

What should OPLIN require of all libraries vis-à-vis security?

What support would they need in order to manage what OPLIN might require?

What advanced or optional security services should OPLIN offer?

In September, OPLIN issued an RFQ to begin to define the services libraries might need, and to help answer those questions. We’re seeking nothing less than a total audit of the WAN and its end-points at the libraries. Also, OPLIN expected to do a de-tailed server device level security audit of 10% of the libraries.

At their February 11th meeting, the OPLIN Board approved the proposal of Infiniti Systems Group of Brecksville to do this work.

This project is scheduled to begin in mid-March 2005, and will be lead by Norm Beznoska, the Director of Enterprise Security at Infiniti according to John Bianco, President of the Infiniti Systems Group.

Infiniti Systems Group is a leading Technology and Services company with corporate headquarters in Brecksville and a branch office in Raleigh, NC. The company is dedicated to integrating and securing today’s technology and information resources and services clients in the public and private sectors in Ohio, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Washington, DC.

ISG offers new GIS integration services.

ISG now offers Geographic Information Systems (GIS) integration services and GIS products to its clients. This strategic decision is in line with ISG’s current services to further integrate its various business divisions. “GIS will enable ISG to bring new dimensions to our existing business activities and establish new opportunities for visual management for our customers.” said John Bianco President of ISG.

GIS provides the ability to integrate, display and analyze GIS, CAD and Imagery data on a map. Through maps GIS technology can convey issues, trends, and relationships more effectively then competing technologies. It can also be used to link databases with mapping information, giving users access to data from multiple sources. Recent advances in web based GIS systems such as ESRIs’ ArcIMS and Autodesks’ MapGuide, provides the ability to deliver spatial information via the web through a browser, such as Internet explorer or Netscape.

GIS is becoming an indispensable item in business. The Geographic/Spatial Information Management Division (GSI) can help current and new clients integrate GIS with other technologies, such as Internet applications and large database management systems, to provide rapid access to the right information when you need it.

Through our integrated team approach, ISG now has the capabilities to provide our client with maximum value as well as instant visualization on any given project

Getting Serious About Disaster Recovery

Are you really serious about Business Continuity and Disaster Planning and Recovery?

If the unthinkable happens, is your business prepared for any contingency? Infiniti Systems Group offers thorough research, analysis, planning and remediation services to keep your business going through almost any kind of disaster. From Business Impact Analysis to successful Restoration and Recovery, ISG provides you with the tools, processes and procedures to protect your business critical information assets.

Business Recovery Planning Is Really Business Survival Planning

You, your employees, your clients and your suppliers depend on your business in part or in whole for your livelihood. Infiniti Systems Group can help you prepare for the worst while safeguarding your information infrastructure—the mind and memory of your business—from all kinds of business interruptions. Disaster can take many forms from the extreme such as terrorism, fire, flood, earthquake, tornado to the more common everyday threats including power outage, computer crashes, theft or hacking. We offer cost-effective solutions to help you properly assess and mitigate your risk. These include:

Business Impact Analysis (BIA)

We will identify the scenarios you can expect to encounter in your day-to-day operations and perform a Risk Assessment to determine those areas where you are most vulnerable. We will then recommend mitigation measures to diminish the risks posed to your organization from human error, theft, fraud, or misuse of assets to ensure the successful recovery.

Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery Planning

We will design and document a backup and recovery plan to ensure the safety of all employees, the timely recovery of data and the restoration of the day-to-day operations of the organization in a timely and cost-effective manner. We help our clients establish and define continuity roles and responsibilities, recovery and backup solutions, and data and document integrity. In addition, we help plan for backup and recovery procedures and facility and hardware replacement or restoration.

Communications Planning and Public, Private and Regional Coordination

If you can’t communicate, you can’ recover! ISG planners will help define and establish Emergency Notification and Escalation procedures for your employees, customers, and vendors while researching communication alternatives, such as cell phone, wireless, email, and walkie-talkie. We will document and update plans for coordination with local organizations and first responders. ISG will also plan for coordination between public and private entities for events of mutual concern and address media and public relations.

Incident Response Management (ISO 17799 Compliant)

To counteract interruptions to business activities and to minimize the damage to critical business processes from major failures or disasters, we will define and document a crisis management plan that is ISO 17799 and Sarbanes-Oxley compliant. This plan will address and detail notification and escalation procedures for “First Responders” and the “What, Where, Why and How” of how to respond to an incident or disruptive event.

Plan Maintenance, Exercise and Training

Business and Disaster Recovery training is an on-going process and must involve people who are properly motivated and educated. This works best when it involves everyone within your organization. ISG will create a plan that addresses change management and recovery team exercises and training for all stakeholders……..improving your organizational awareness while speeding your recovery.

North Carolina DOJ Website Goes Live

Infiniti Systems Group and the North Carolina Department of Justice announced this month the go-live of the newly re-designed public site for the office of North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper. This new website at www.ncdoj.com is a complete redesign of the Department of Justice’s public website and has a number of notable features.

This site was developed with a number of goals in mind:

Easy Navigation: This site contains a tremendous amount of constantly changing information. We built a dynamic menu system to help users quickly find content they seek while never “getting lost.
Easily updated by multiple users without web coding. The content of this site is handled dynamically so the many people responsible for updating the public information can do so in maintenance screens in their database from within their internal network.
Advanced Search Functions: Search pages and forms are targeted to the visitors current location in the site but can be easily expanded for site-wide searches. The search functions also include both text and keyword searching of both text and PDF documents.
Enhanced Security: Because the computer network of the Attorney General’s office is a particularly tempting target to hackers, this site is built to completely isolate the internal network from attacks through the website while still allowing integration with real-time data and documents.

If you’re interested in finding out whether Infiniti Systems is a good choice to build your web applications, please call our Cleveland office at 440-546-9440 or our Raleigh office at 919-306-5513.
