Connectivity

Sharing ideas, exchanging information, marketing, managing customers, all of these facets of running a business, and a lot more, have all come to rely on fast and reliable data connections. Many have become essential to the success of a business.

Whether you’re an established business in need of an upgraded, faster or larger network or you’re a start-up that needs a new office space wired for connectivity, SiOTek has the skills to create and install reliable and fast networking across everything from coax to fiber optics and from WiFi to SD-Lan and MLPS.

Communications

The technology behind artificial intelligence is advancing at an often alarming rate. But so far, nothing has come close to matching the effectiveness of direct, human communication.

For years, telephone communications was the exclusive market for the big telecom’s. Today, with computer technology and the power of the internet, your business can have a phone system with hundreds of features, all at a fraction of the cost of a traditional system. And, with VOIP session initiation protocol (SIP), you can conduct voice, video, messaging and multimedia communication sessions at a price that will make your traditional phone bill look like gouging.

One of SiOTek’s specialties is phone systems, both hosted or on premises. We’ve upgraded, installed and managed phone systems ranging from PBX to the latest UCaaS and CCaaS technologies. Contact us and let’s discuss how we can turn your current phone system into a productive and cost-saving tool for human-to-human communications.

Security

• A new organization will fall victim to ransomware every 14 seconds in 2019, and every 11 seconds by 2021.
• 1.5 million new phishing sites are created every month.
• 851 million ransomware infections were detected in 2018.
• 34% of businesses hit with malware took a week or more to regain access to their data.
• In 2019 ransomware from phishing emails increased 109% over 2017.

It seems that on a daily basis we read news stories of how some large company or government entity has been hit with a ransomware attack. It’s very likely that even your personal data has been compromised as a result of a security breach and the statistics show that this trend isn’t going to be going away any time soon. Data security has become a fact of life for all of us.

For the medical and dental professions, data security is even more crucial. HIPAA rules require that Health & Human Services as well as affected individuals be notified when a security breach has been detected. In some cases, even the media must be notified. It’s been estimated that it costs $350.00 for each protected health information record affected and results in a 40% loss in customer base.

The question isn’t whether you can afford to have IT security, it’s whether you can afford not to. At SiOTek, we can help you secure your data with everything from basic anti-virus to managed firewalls. And, we specialize in HIPAA and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance.

Processing Power

One of our technology partners recently had 70 out of 383 hard drives fail over a 5 year period. That’s an 18.3% failure rate. Over one quarter alone, they saw almost 5% drive failure rates. It’s simple laws of physics, because computers are machines, they will fail. Not if, when. The question you have to ask is how much productivity will be lost when that failure occurs.

At SiOTek, we can help reduce that downtime to a minimum. With redundant backups either on-site, off-site or in the cloud, you can rest assured that when that failure does happen that you’ll be back up and operational in the shortest time possible.

Along with our backup technology we also offer everything from shared website hosting to network area storage (NAS) to dedicated servers running 24 core Xeon processors with up to 256gb ram. Regardless of how much data you need to store or how quickly you need to crunch numbers, at SiOTek, we have the processing power to do the job.

Website

Using the power of the WordPress content management system, SiOTek can create for you everything from a basic web presence to rich-media e-commerce sites. Unlike many other web design companies, we don’t just stop at fill-in-the-blank templates or drag-and-drop cookie-cutter websites. With our programming, web design and graphic design skills we can not only create a unique website on the front end, we can also tailor the back end to suit your exact needs.

From landing pages to custom WordPress plugins, SiOTek can create both a unique visual experience for your visitors as well as an admin interface that’s user friendly and rich in features.
