Our agility and breadth of experience in this field enables us to offer tailored consultancy that span the full implementation life cycle of your Citrix infrastructure.

We are also able to offer a smooth transition for your systems in to our support service at the end of the consultancy when required.

I-KONIC can offer onsite system HealthChecks to ensure you gain the maximum value from your technology investment. The objective of these visits is to ensure that your application delivery infrastructure is maintained and optimised on a regular basis. Taking a preventative and ongoing enhancement approach to systems support leads to greater stability, higher system availability and reduced downtime. The health check visits provide the opportunity to review the current status of system performance and stability, and implement preventive maintenance tasks that will maintain or enhance the integrity of the system.
The I-KONIC Business Solutions Health check delivers:
- Peace of mind that your server environment is performing optimally to support the core business needs on a daily basis
- Proactive approach to prevent and correct issues that can severely impact the organisation
- Critical documentation to support the environment with updates per visit as your environment changes to meet shifting business needs
