Expertise, Experience, Efficient and Exceptional (SM)
FinePeter Consulting Inc. can provide strategic planning and for the individual and the large or small company, covering all aspects of system integration, networking design and maintenance, and on-site support. We work with you from the initial purchase to final installation. Our Crash Avoidance Strategies (SM) help create a conservative and safe environment to be productive. We can coordinate with either your own or our outside contractors to take care of most needs including reliable sources to purchase your equipment. We can make specific recommendations for a comprehensive training program and offer imaging expertise and pre press support as well as FileMaker Pro database development.
M.I.S./I.T * Department Setup
& Support
We started almost twenty years ago as a Macintosh computer consulting firm. Now we offer specialized Windows and PC support which is perfectly suited to the needs of a cross-platform office environment.
FinePeter Consulting Inc. can act as an affordable "M.I.S./I.T. Department" for those companies who do not or can not have a full time on-staff presence by providing weekly or monthly "check ups", data back up and technology support monitoring. We have had much success in supplemental coverage to those companies who already have M.I.S./I.T. Departments but lack either the man-power or experience to handle the specific needs of Macintosh or Windows PC computers. In our capacity as management consultants, we can help you set up your own permanent department if you wish.
We offer REMOTE monitoring (via dial up modem or our high speed internet connection) of your Mac OSX Servers as well as Data Back Up monitoring and Retrospect scripting as we are a EMC Dantz Solution Provider. We now offer REMOTE DESKTOP SUPPORT FOR YOUR STAFF ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD via our personalized Mac HelpMate software as long as they have an internet connection. We also offer similar services for Exchange Servers and PC desktop computers.
Our "keep current approach" scours the Internet
and other resources for the latest in updaters, new versions of
publicly distributable software as well as information on the
most recent commercial software releases and provides you with
monthly visits to keep your business current and operating compatibly.
Rates can be hourly, long term or project based depending on situation.
* M.I.S stands for Management of Information Systems and I.T. is Information Technology. Both these abreviations generally refer to the departments in companies that handle computer installation, support and standards of use.

EXPERIENCE
Support for small to large corporate environments as well as many individual clientele since 1989. Often supervises on-premises staff working together as a cohesive department.
One of our clients has offices in four, far apart cities in the United States. The task was to upgrade all offices to Mac OSX but due to the fact that all offices will use Quark Xpress 6.0, which only runs under OSX, the upgrade timetable had to coordinate in all locales to be using the same version of Quark within a day of each other since Quark does not offer full backward compatibility.
The complexity of the project centered around finding the right time in each office based on their own production schedules along with available time for our consultants in each city and this proved to be a logistics nightmare. However, it was completed on schedule with all office users coming in on a Monday to find their machines upgraded and capable of working on the same version of Quark.
In addition, all desktop users at all locations can now be remotely configured and software upgraded from the main office in New York as well as our own remote capabilities.
A example of a long term project: We took a company, over the course of three years, from six Macs in a single room to a network of one hundred machines. This covered multiple floors on a major corporate backbone network and all were connected to file servers, an email server, an event/contact management server and a remote access system network. We helped formulate operational policies and guided their technology needs for many years.
