 ISI is the premier service provider in the West Michigan market for servicing your organizations entire IT and telecommunications needs through its progressive understanding of converged / unified systems. Instead of maintaining disparate, non-connected systems ISI consolidates and unifies all of your organizations data, collaboration, and communication functions onto a single standardized system that achieves the following benefits:
Flexibile – Systems are more flexible as they are designed to adapt to ever-changing external standards and internal business requirements
Simple – Systems are standardized with a single communication protocol (IP) and a single interface method (Ethernet)
Reliable – Reducing complexity within the system increases the reliability of each and every layer of the stack
Interoperable – Systems are designed to communicate with other areas of the stack, thereby allowing previous investments to be continually re-leveraged
Low cost – Rather than investing in many separate systems, economies of scale are increased after each and every modification / addition to the system
Secure – Systems are designed to be secure by default through policies established at the design phase while standardization leads to fewer components overall thereby lowering risk
The ISI Stack embodies the interrelationships between all the various components within the system and is based exclusively on the Interoperability Protocol (IP). Every single function, from storage to wireless to voice to workstation connectivity depends only on IP and Ethernet, thereby standardizing the way by which both users and devices interact with the system. To ISI there is only one system, just as there is only one mission for your organization.
The premise of the ISI Stack is that a tower (or stack) is only as strong as the layers underneath. This essentially means that to avoid a “tower of Pisa” problem, it is critical that best practices be used at each level of the stack so as to assure that layers further up the stack are properly supported. As you might imagine, it is thereby critical that the partner used to design, build, support, and maintain these converged systems be chosen very carefully. |
