Core services
Semer stands with your organisation in front of its IT vendors. You make decisions based on professional advice, work with the right suppliers and pay only for what you need.
Clear advice before you invest. We review what exists, define what the organisation needs and turn it into a plan with costs and priorities.
A Chief Information Security Officer for organisations that do not have one full time, or that need to strengthen their existing team. We lead security policy, risk management and regulatory readiness, and report to management regularly.
We define the requirements, evaluate suitable vendors, compare offers and coordinate between the vendors and you until the solution works.
We audit your systems and existing vendors on a regular schedule that suits your organisation, and deliver a report with findings and recommendations. We also give second opinions on projects and vendor proposals.
Areas of expertise
In each of these areas we advise, recommend suitable vendors or review your existing ones. The vendors deliver. We make sure the solution fits your organisation, is secure and works with the rest of your systems.
Advice and vendor selection for structured cabling, Wi-Fi, comms cabinets and server rooms, access control and CCTV, and quality checks of the completed work.
Requirements for servers, storage, backup, disaster recovery and UPS sized to your organisation, and review of vendor proposals.
Advice on whether and how to consolidate servers on VMware or Microsoft Hyper-V, or move them to private or public cloud services, to harden security or cut hardware and maintenance costs.
Advice on Microsoft 365, Azure and hosted Exchange, and on secure remote access through VPN and remote desktop, plus selection of an implementation partner.
Matching the connection type (fibre, point-to-point, site-to-site links) to your needs and budget, comparing providers and checking they meet their commitments.
Risk assessment, recommended protection solutions and vendors, review of existing security vendors and staff training plans. Many incidents start inside the organisation, usually by accident. Where more is needed, we offer an outsourced CISO service.
Advice on choosing ERP, accounting and CRM systems, including products localised for Cyprus, and coordination of implementation with the software vendor.
Specifications for computers, printers and peripherals, and vendor recommendations.
