Security & Risk Management
Decisions about physical security, cyber security, and personnel security are a part of your business and home life. Online security of your email, website, and accounts is also important. Backups, continuity planning, and disaster recovery can be critical. Technivise can help put these in context to help you manage your security risk. Whether it’s a single area of security and risk or multiple areas for which you have concern, Technivise can help you focus on which are important and manage those that are not critical. What is important is that you’re aware and informed about your risks and know how to handle them. Physical and cyber security are fairly complex but common issues that Technivise help you navigate. We will help identify which are most important to you personally and for your business concerns. It’s easy to waste effort and money on security that doesn’t matter. It’s equally easy to miss closing a security barn door that may put you at risk. Personnel security is probably the most important to your activity whether “personnel” means you or your employees. People are the most critical element because they can make mistakes and because, when knowledgeable, can vastly reduce your risk.

Website, Domain Names, Hosting, Email - Design & Setup

Can you do it yourself? How many and what type of email accounts do you need? Technivise can help you sort through the options, and if it makes sense, can create and host the site. Or other providers can be recommended and coordinated for your needs. Technivise is able to handle simple to moderate website design for low-cost options you own, yet your best option may be to go with other website developers for some types of businesses. Some website providers and hosts are making website design easy for do-it- yourselfers. Large e-commerce sites or those with complex back-end databases may be best served by large system website developers. Establishing a web presence often times means that you are establishing your brand and branding approach. How are customers or visitors to your various Internet presences (website, social media, advertising, etc.) going to know it’s you? This often means you need a logo, identifiable name, a domain name that is easy to remember and relevant, a look and feel that attracts your intended customer.

Internet Presence, SEO, Marketing, Social Media
Having a website is not enough! It should work to meet your objectives. It must be found and easy to use through Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Your business should be found in directories across the Internet. You should manage your “Internet Presence” and reputation. Many providers will overcharge for this field of services. Sometimes you can do it yourself! Technivise can also help you know how much you need and perform these services for you. If you have a website and care who can find it, then you need some type of SEO. How much is enough? The Internet is awash with SEO piranha out for your money. Most won’t deliver. Many will oversell what you need. Some may be useful. Others want to charge you large per-month fees that are unnecessary, and some of these will yank your resources if you stop paying them. Technivise can develop a plan that fits your needs, one that is measurable so you can change and adapt, and one that you own and control. Your type of website focus and business type are critical to the type of SEO you consider. Some services fields, such as lawyers and legal services, are highly competitive, while others are open and easier to obtain high rankings.
Audio-Video Enhancement & Conversion
Audio enhancement and conversion is needed for legal, law enforcement, business, academic, news media when the original recordings are not good enough to be transcribed or reviewed. Tapes and file formats may need to be converted. Technivise can convert formats, filter, amplify, and remove noise so they can be heard by a transcriptionist to create a transcript or listened to by a judge or jury. Sometimes you can handle simple amplification from standard file formats on your own. In other cases, the file formats may require more extreme measures for conversion that are not worth your time or in your abilities. Technivise can convert from a large number of digital audio and video file formats as well as many audio and video formats on tapes, CDROMs and DVDROMs. Simple amplification may not be enough. Poor recording equipment and the location can distort the audio or introduce noise in a way that simple amplification cannot address. Some distortions in the audio prevent simple amplification without extreme distortion. Sophisticated filtering, methods noise reduction, and manipulation of the audio tracks can often yield more discernible audio. We have extensive experience and the software necessary to enhance the quality of audio files for transcriptionists, lawyers, and district attorneys. Many times the recording quality of belt tapes, safehouse interviews, and lapel cams is noisy, audio volume is very low or extremely different for individuals on the recording. A primary objective is to more easily hear the audio and prevent “indiscernible” sections of a transcript. Another objective to to reduce fatigue of the transcriptionist in listening to unnecessary background noise, leading to more accurate transcripts. Group interviews for marketing, academia, news media, and other business use may also be an issue when the recording environment was not set up to properly capture the audio. Selective editing can help here. Not all audio can be improved. We’ll advise you on our ability to improve audio so you can decide whether or not to proceed with the entire job.
Training - Technology & Security
Do you or your staff want to maintain some or all of your technology efforts and security practices yourself? This can sometimes not only cost less -- it can be more effective for you. Understanding just enough about your technology and choices may also be a goal. If you’re more informed, you can make more informed choices about how technology affects your business and life. Technivise has experience training in these areas and will advise you when you might not want to do it yourself and when help pick another provider handle some parts of the tasks. Your training can be as simple as a conversation or as sophisticated as well-organized course for you and your staff. Documentation can be provided that allows you to review the training to refresh your knowledge in the future.
