Genuine Ideas advises customers on networking strategies and trends; and helps customers formulate sustainable networking visions that will scale well into the future. Networking consulting may include some or all of the distinct services provided by Genuine Ideas. Available data communication technologies are analysed and suitable technologies recommended. A comprehensive networking vision document is produced for the customer. This is done with the help of our global alliance of cooperating partners.

Genuine Ideas converts users’ networking visions into elaborate technical designs; including networking topology (both physical and logical), networking cables to be used, networking interfaces, networking protocols and standards, networking hardware elements to be used, networking transmission technologies, networking hardware sizing, networking security, networking management; and the envisaged distribution of networking hosts. Networking designs are usually guiding parameters; and the final implemented network takes on the form of both the design and the best of breed networking vendor’s equipment performance characteristics. A comprehensive networking design document is produced for the customer.

Genuine Ideas translates the agreed networking designs into invitation to quote or invitation to tender documents. This is done in accordance to applicable networking standards and protocols, within the constraints of the agreed design and the available budget. All the requirements to which prospective contactors should adhere to are stated explicitly; together with all the hardware and software performance requirements, and all the vital desired characteristics. A comprehensive technical specification is produced for the customer that can then be used as a basis to invite prospective contactors to quote or tender for the implementation of the network.

Genuine Ideas designs and implements state of the art data networks using traditional cabling technologies, radio technologies, and laser transmission technology. It assists customers to implement secure e-mail and Internet technologies including Virtual Private Networks and workflow.

Genuine Ideas assists customers to diagnose and isolate networking faults giving recommendations for remedial action. A customer can request networking troubleshooting services to include 2identification of symptoms, isolation of faults, and faults resolution. A comprehensive log of the resolved faults is kept for the customer’s inspection. The logged data periodically generates reports that can help customers to better manage their data networks.

Genuine Ideas can be contracted to do first level or second level support on a customer’s data network. A call system can be structured with response times tailored to meet a customer’s needs. Networking support (unlike networking troubleshooting) entails that Genuine Ideas will be contracted to be available within predefined time frames. A comprehensive log of the resolved faults is kept for the customer’s inspection. The logged data periodically generates reports that can help customers better manage their data networks

Genuine Ideas can assist customers to determine the security policy of the organisation, the objectives of the security system, whether or not a firewall has to be put in place to explicitly deny all services except those critical to the Ministry or departmental mission, or if the firewall is to simple audit network access. The final stance of the customer’s firewall may be a business decision rather than an engineering decision.

Genuine Ideas can assist customers to derive the best performance from the network using the existing networking infrastructure. Network optimisation may involve partitioning of networks into bandwidth domains, filtering of unwanted traffic from designated networking segments, suppressing some of the activities of chatty protocols, management of broadcast traffic, and either physical or logical movement of some network hosts between segments.

Network optimisation requires the use of specialist tools for network data capture and traffic and protocol analysis. A change management plan is produced for the customer together with detailed recommendations.

With the advancements in digital surveillance technologies, Genuine Ideas specializes in digital systems that put you into the driver's seat, by offering you a surveillance solution with optimal functionality and user-friendly features.

These surveillance technologies offers a complete outdoor and indoor solution, and such includes the following services:

Keep an eye on your home/ business, no matter where you are, night and day!
Protect your assets against theft
Increase productivity
Improve access control
Manage your staff & resources more effectively!

To reinforce on the mentioned services, not only do we do implementations but we offer maintenance on the products, support if needed, upgrades, and backups.

Finger geometry as a method of identification can be used in time and attendance and access control applications. Scanners create a virtual 3 dimensional image of any two fingers, without actually taking a fingerprint and the system measures and analyses the characteristics, dimensions, and shape of these fingers. The scanned image is then compared to a database of scans to authenticate identity.

Most physical access control systems in use today are based upon proximity cards or identification numbers. Biometric technologies are extensively used to provide strong user authentication and avoid this type of security breach. Combined with contactless smart cards, biometric readers also allow multi-factor user authentication, thus reinforcing the system’s overall level of security.

Genuine Ideas’ systems use contactless smart cards as ID badges. These are ideal for access control because they provide a 100% read integrity and reduce reader maintenance to almost zero since no wear takes place on the card or the acces reader.

We do Server installation such as Windows server 2003,2008, and that could be Domain controllers, Applications, File and mail servers, and configurations such as Exchange 2003/2007/2010, DNS,DHCP,Active directory and backups.
