Digital VoIP Solutions

Digital VoIP Phone Installation, Service and Support With its long history and deployment to every corner of the globe, Internet Protocol (IP) is increasingly viewed as more than a way to move data, but also as a tool for simplifying and streamlining a whole range of business applications. Telephony is the most obvious example, with Voice over IP and IP telephony becoming increasingly popular, from large corporations to consumers. Understanding the terms is a first step toward learning the potential of this technology:

  • Voice over IP (VoIP) refers to a way to carry phone calls over an IP data network, whether the public Internet or an organization's own internal network. One of the primary attractions of VoIP is its ability to help companies reduce expenses because telephone calls travel over the data network rather than the phone company's network.
  • IP Telephony encompasses the full suite of telephony services enabled by VoIP, including the interconnection of phones for actual communications; related services such as billing and dialing plans; and basic features such as conferencing, transfer, forward, hold, and many more. These services might previously have been provided by a private branch exchange (PBX)
  • IP Communications evolves the concept another step to include business applications that enhance communications to enable applications such as unified messaging, integrated contact centers, and rich-media conferencing that combines voice, data, and video.

HALO Technology Solutions is equipped to assist you in the entire process of Digital Phone Integration. We are available to:

  • Consult with you to decide the most appropriate and cost-effective solution

Spyware and Virus Protection

How secure is your network protection? Every day, new viruses and spyware infect businesses worldwide. Some have the ability to spread within hours and affect computers and networks of all sizes. Viruses, worms, Trojans and spyware programs cause serious financial damage to companies through data deletion, loss of productivity, network computer downtime, IT administrative overhead and bandwidth consumption.

As these attacks become more dynamic and malicious in nature, businesses are forced to look past client-based protection and stop viruses before they have a chance to inflict damage. How are you protected?

If your business has or will be obtaining a server with 5 or more workstations, you may be eligible for Trend Micro's SMB packages. There are several free solutions such as Microsoft's Security Essentials and Malwarebytes.  Every solution should be based on your business's particular needs. Please call us for more details.

Comprehensive E-Document Shredding

Digital shredding, or E-Document shredding, is becoming a very important aspect of business, and personal computing. There are many laws out governing the retention and disposal of confidential information. Don't risk your business or personal data when selling or donating an old PC. You may also have additional requirements if your business is governed by HIPAA Regulations.

Cyber-criminals target sold, donated, and discarded computers because of the amount of personal information that they can easily uncover. Part of the reason thieves are able to do this is that Windows often stores unneeded traces of your personal information, including passwords, credit card numbers, and previously deleted data and e-mail, on your hard drive - all without you even knowing it. This can create huge problems for businesses who gather confidential information about employees, clients, patients, etc.

As your complete IT outsource, HALO Technical Solutions is proud to offer E-Document shredding. A strategic, secure and confidential solution to disposing of documents stored electronically can not only enhance your office productivity, but it will complete your Network Security Strategy.
