Solutions
Hickory Bay offers a wide variety of information technology services that help our customers tackle their business challenges. A brief description of each major area follows.
Technology Infrastructure
Modern businesses rely a great deal on their technology infrastructure. Customers expect a business to have an informative website, access to email communication, and a responsive phone system. Broadening and growing your business means taking advantage of the sales and marketing platform that the Internet offers. To make all this work, a business needs a solid technology infrastrucure to support the operations of the company. Hickory Bay understands how to integrate servers, email, phones, networks, and even mobile devices into a sound and flexible infrasture. We specialize in Microsoft solutions, including Microsoft Exchange Server and Microsoft Small Business Server. We also can provide proven solutions in the security field - firewalls, anti-virus and anti-spam software, and system patching and maintenance. Lastly, we can provide remote and mobile work solutions, whether it be by Virtual Private Networks (VPN) or mobile devices.
E-Commerce
Perhaps the hottest trend in sales and marketing is leveraging the Internet for adversting and lead acquistion. However, the market is fragmented and evolving rapidly. Hickory Bay can help you make sense of ad words, search engine optimization, email marketing, and affiliate marketing programs.
Application Integration
Many companies have integrated software applications into their business processes. Unfortunately, their is not a "one size fits all" application, so duplicate data or duplicate processes occur when business information overlaps between business processes and systems. At the same time, business information sharing between departments and even different organizations has become a big driver to increased efficiency and lower cost. Hickory Bay can analyze your business processes and provide a solution that minimizes data entry tasks and integrates business applications. The company has developed specific expertise with the Microsoft BizTalk server platform and the HL7 messaging standard for healthcare.
Startup Logistics
Starting a business can be overwhelming. Even straightforward questions like "How will I get phone calls?" take effort and resources to answer. Hickory Bay can help with a logistical plan that meets your startup budget. We can provide different feature/price options for telephones, computers, network, email, web site hosting and design, initial electronic marketing, and brand definition. Some of these tasks we can perform, others can be outsourced to proven partners who specialize in those fields. Half the battle is having a resource that has been overt this ground before, and Hickory Bay personnel have "been there, done that" several times over.
Custom Software Applications
Sometimes "out of the box" just doesn't cut it. Perhaps you have created a unique product or service, and it needs a specialized technology component. Or your business has grown to a point where your manual process is not scaling, and you haven't been able to find a solution. Hickory Bay can work with you to understand your process, and then plan and execute on a custom solution. The technical staff has deep experience in a variety of technologies, including Visual Studio .Net, SQL Server, Oracle, ASP, graphic design, HTML, Flash, and web services. Let us help you turn your unique product or service into a success story.
