Support Services

Onsite and/or Offsite IT Support/Help Desks: Tier 2 support covers troubleshooting beyond what a typical Tier 1 help desk can solve. Often times these solutions require in-person support, infrastructure changes impacting multiple systems, or tracking a ticket over an extended period of time while solutions are developed. If a Tier 2 support specialist cannot resolve an issue, ICE also provides Tier 3 support personnel capable of handling the most difficult or advanced problems. We can support complex hardware and operating system software that require certified systems engineers. Our Tier 3 specialists will work closely with the client to resolve issues and communicate with the actual software developers if required. For patch management services, ICE scans, finds, and re-mediates vulnerabilities by pushing out necessary patches.

LAN Management and Administration: ICE maintains both the physical hardware and software integrity of servers as well as maintaining logical network settings through routers, switches, and other network-level devices. Server maintenance includes monitoring hardware and fixing/replacing failed parts (hard drives, fans, processors, network, etc.) Software maintenance requires constant security monitoring, user and email account maintenance, and patch management. ICE develops and maintains comprehensive data integrity and recovery plans including data backup, uninterrupted power supply power control, offsite storage of backup media, and physical access control of all systems. We also configure IP address ranges and subnets and ensure that the network hardware is configured to properly allow needed access to systems while maintaining the highest security standards. Network monitoring includes the use of Intrusion Detection Systems, Firewalls, DMZ, and Routers to segment the network and protect sensitive data from internal and external threats. At all times we strive to keep up with the latest technology and security trends to keep our systems ahead of the curve and plan for future expansion and projects.

Database Development, Management, and Maintenance: ICE has experience designing and developing databases in multiple platforms, including MS SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere, and Microsoft Access. We architect databases to provide the best solution for our customers based on performance requirements and cost. Once the database is developed, we continually monitor and tune the database to ensure optimal performance. Our maintenance process includes the development and regular testing of backup and recovery plans, monitoring system logs for errors and inconsistencies, and providing object and security management.

Data Migration Services: ICE has extensive experience performing data migrations. We have experience migrating databases between multiple database platforms and environments. ICE identifies the best approach to perform data migrations for each instance, whether it is a commercial-off-the-shelf application, built-in database tools, or custom scripts. When performing a data migration, all objects, keys, and indexes are verified in the migrated database. Data migration processes include a full regression test on any application that uses the data source to confirm compatibility and syntax.

Video Teleconferencing Support: In providing video teleconferencing support for customers, ICE troubleshoots connectivity problems and performs corrective diagnostics. We have experience in the installation, configuration, and management of Tandberg and Polycom system hardware and software. ICE also monitors and maintains endpoint configurations and status.

Administrative and Executive Support: ICE’s team is experienced in providing administrative support (including executive administrative support) in the following areas: reception, meeting support, travel arrangements, editing, presentation and briefing creation, copying and creating both repeating and ad hoc written reports, preparing correspondence, tracking action item status, supporting management activities, and assisting with customer relations.
