Technologies, Services and Partnerships

JFSI practices what we preach! 

  • JFSI USES technology -- Being "bleeding edge" may be fun and exciting; but it rarely benits a company's bottom line.
  • We purchase applications when possible, opting not to  spend the money, take the risks of building custom applications.
  • We are frugal with our money, spending it where it needs to be spent and where spending money makes business sense.  Those expenditures are largely on our web site and on tools that will help us to better serve you.

Any suggestions and recommendations made to our clients are tempered by the same constraints.  Any suggestions we make to our clients are well thought out and are, in our opinions, needed.

The following products represent but a subset of the products and services that we use and recommend. 

Server Based Technologies

JFSI is a strong proponent of Microsoft's suite of server software products; and recommended platforms typically contain either Microsoft Server Enterprise Edition or Microsoft Small Business Server.

SaaS (Software As A Service) Platforms

We often recommend Google's suite of applications (Google Apps) to clients not opting for Microsoft Small Business Server.  Google Apps reduces the complexity of maintaining an in-house mail server by off-loading email to Google hosted servers around the world.

Server Hardware

We recommend servers manufactured by HP.  Less frequently, we deploy DELL's servers.

Desktop Computers

We recommend desktop computers manufactured by HP and the Optiplex family of computers manufactured by DELL. 

Laptop Computers

We recommend that our clients consider HP, Lenovo and Acer as suppliers of their laptop computers.

Online File Backup

We use and highly recommend that clients adopt a two way backup strategy, deploying a solution that  includes both in-house  media and off-site capabilities offered by Carbonite.

Remote Support

We take great pride in our commitment to customer service that is second to none in the industry, and top quality customer support is our absolute top priority.  Second only to the high quality of our support support is the timeliness of that support.

That being the case, we have adopted and extensively use Citrix Systems Go To Assist family of products to provide secure remote connection to client computers.

The lack of money to support a major Information Technology staff is typically a major differentiator of small to medium sized companies and major corporations.  That being the case, small companies must often work a lot smarter than their larger counterparts.

We've long suggested that small companies 
  • Buy rather than build most software applications and products
  • Dedicate any and all excess funds to things that improve customer support and customer satisfaction
  • Realize that high customer satisfaction will impact new business by referral and that poor customer satisfaction will doom even the best thought out company
  • Use the company web site to not only advertise products and services to prospective clients but as an extension of your arsenal of customer support and service practices.
