IT and Technology

SchmitzIT can help you solve a lot of different IT and technology challenges.

Webdesign
A website is a great way to introduce your company to the world. Professionally developed websites are a powerful tool to communicate your corporate identity and values to potential customers, and are an increasing factor in ensuring your clients will come back. At SchmitzIT we can help you get started, provide advice and consultancy on web design, or completely develop a site for you.

We also offer affordable and reliable hosting on our own servers, which are hosted in the United Kingdom.

Forum Management
Forums provide the visitors of your site with a way to communicate with one another and build a community of like-minded people. They are a great way to communicate directly with your customers, and to offer your clients and fans an easy way to interact with one another. In short, forums are a sure way to entice interested parties to keep on coming back to your site.

SchmitzIT can assist you installing, customizing and extending your forum, or develop additional functionality to cater to your specific wishes. Our main area of expertise with forums is XenForo, a feature rich and intuitive forum tool, but we can assist with installing other software for you as well.

Database Administration
Like the foundation of a house, databases form the backbone of corporations. A poorly designed database can make the difference between happy employees and customers, or stressed employees and unsatisfied customers. A properly planned database allows for seamless business growth and transaction volume, while a poorly designed database will keep your business from expanding without significant investment.

Peter Schmitz has over a decade of experience working with databases (primarily Microsoft SQL Server), and can assist you with database design, optimization, setting up high-availability databases, automation of administration, or performance tuning. SchmitzIT will typically strive to reduce the daily recurring (and thus error-prone) tasks to a minimum, so your own DBAs will be able to focus on what they are good at, rather than finding themselves doing nothing but trying to keep up with daily tasks.

Business Intelligence
Many organizations are struggling to make sense of their data. Typically, there are many dedicated applications in use throughout a business, each serving its individual purpose, and each helping to streamline specific processes. These systems typically do not know of one another’s existence, meaning a single entity could exist in multiple systems. This means multiple systems need to be updated in case of changes. SchmitzIT can help you to centralize your key data, which not only will ensure that changes can be done in a single place while still allowing the data to flow back to the proper systems, but also allow for cross-system reporting. This basically means it will be possible to combine data from different systems and gain valuable insight into how money moves around your organization, and where most (or least) business value is generated.

Solution Development
Are you looking to connect your existing applications so they communicate together, or implementing a new application to support new business processes? Or perhaps you find that having certain tasks automated would make sense. SchmitzIT can offer you business application development that starts by interviewing your employees who will form the future end-users, identifying their needs, translating these into a technical solution, and ensuring your people are involved in the process from end-to-end so you will know for sure the solution you get supports your business, and will allow your employees to become more productive or efficient.
