"off-line help by one person to another in making significant transitions in knowledge, work or thinking"   D. Clutterbuck & D.

Go-Global is available in a number of flavours enabling it to run on Microsoft® Windows, Linux®, or Unix® platforms, not necessarily running server operating systems - it will for instance run on Windows XP/Pro with no trouble.  Further, Go-Global®, enables companies to deploy Linux® or Unix® applications rapidly throughout their Windows environment and visa versa.  Further features to note include that Go-Global® is secure and that it uses existing network and security infrastructure.  And it does all of this cost-effectively.

We concentrate a lot of effort on planning, managing and communicating during the various phases of the project, thus ensuring that the risk of a project running late or failing to deliver as expected is mitigated.  Research has demonstrated that this is a function that is lacking in a lot of environments and thus many projects, even simple ones, are prone to fairly high risk (delay, budget overruns, even complete failure) even when installing well-known solutions, especially in small to medium sized enterprise environments. Our aim in the above is to ensure that we always provide solutions to our customers wherein the risks are known and managed, and where the desired outcomes are achieved, on time and in budget.     Microsoft® Solutions and Licensing - We provide a comprehensive range of Microsoft products and services, including but not limited to Operating Systems (server and workstation), applications (desktop, enterprise and productivity solutions), and licensing options.  Our services include software auditing and license compliance evaluations, as well as development, installation and configuration of Microsoft solutions.
