Managed Services

Schawk Digital Solutions specializes in providing clients with a hassle-free hosting experience, allowing them to focus on using the technology instead of worrying about keeping it running. Schawk employs a team of highly experienced IT Engineers whose primary responsibility is to install, configure, manage and maintain SDS enterprise applications. Hosting a global enterprise-wide application can be complicated and expensive. Even a medium sized business can be challenged with additional costs associated with acquiring, setting up and supporting this type of solution. With SDS Hosting services, regardless of an organization's size, we make it easy and affordable.

We understand the need for a high level of security around upcoming product launches and campaigns and the proprietary content associated with them. Our security model is built to manage this type of content and is continually assessed and improved to ensure we remain up-to-date. Client data is protected through restricted physical access to the data center, video surveillance and monitoring, Intrusion Detection Systems, 128 bit SSL encryption and a host of other features.

In addition to production and pre-production environments, clients also have a fully functional Disaster Recovery environment in a physical location separate from our production facility. All three of these environments are included as part of our standard Managed Services offering.

Performance

With sophisticated Web Acceleration and Compression tools, SDS ensures content is delivered quickly and efficiently to all end-users globally. SDS also has tools in place to monitor end-to-end latency and proactively fix areas of the application that may need to be optimized.

Highly Regulated and Validated Environments

For those clients in highly regulated industries, such as Medical Device and Pharmaceutical organizations, we offer a validated hosting service. We have been providing solutions to regulated clients since 2002 and are accustomed to working within the regulations required of a cGMP-compliant (current Good Manufacturing Practices) environment. We can perform or assist with IQ, OQ and PQ according to your organizations requirements.
