| INTRODUCTION Bringing all the right pieces together for your organization Systems Integrator: …a company that specializes in planning, coordination, scheduling, testing, improving and sometimes maintaining a computing operation… (Newton's Telecom Dictionary, 13th edition). That's a lot of "ing" - planning, scheduling, testing, etc. Systems integrators take the right pieces and make them all work together. In today's technology environment, no single supplier of software or hardware offers a complete computing environment. In a typical organization there is hardware from dozens of vendors and software from dozens of other vendors. This accounts for the tremendous growth in the capability of today's computer systems - it is truly a competitive market with innovation occurring at all levels. All this innovation means "new" technology has an ever-decreasing "half-life". What was gospel last year is heresy this year. In this environment only those with a real desire, and the means, to keep up, keep up. GrayLint Enterprises is a business built on relationships.

At the core of systems integration is the ability to make heterogeneous, or mixed, systems work together. This is sometimes called interoperability. A number of computer operating systems (OSs) have evolved over the years. Some have fallen by the wayside, but today there are still quite a variety of different OSs that are likely to be found in the workplace. Even systems that are obsolete often have to be dealt with because valuable business data is locked up within their storage systems or a vital application runs only in their environment. GrayLint Enterprises, Inc., while primarily working with the most modern OSs, has experience and resources available for working with Novell Netware, AS/400, Unix, Xenix , AIX, DOS, OS/2, Mac and much of the other alphabet soup that is today's OS environment. GrayLint's people have a long collective history with computers and a great deal of experience on a wide range of systems. That, and our relationships with other computer professionals mean that we can always find a solution! We can provide solutions for connecting one environment to the other, for extracting data from obsolete systems or migrating you out of your OS or application "nightmare"! We are seasoned technology veterans and can help you with your toughest technology problems. Some interoperability examples. We can:
Increasingly, systems integration includes Internet integration. This has become such an important area subject that we have given it its own page! ContactGLE - About GLE - Customer Support - Tech/Downloads - Legal Office Tech Copyright © 2003 GrayLintEnterprises, Inc. |
