Information Technology

Making the flood of technology to work for our customers!
Ascend provides end-to-end tailored solutions from helping clients build efficient software, to securing software applications, to managing software after it has been built.  Our individual service offerings can be requested independently, or assembled together to provide a custom solution.
We stay focused on the simple fact that information and processes are the customer's asset, not the technology. Technology is there primarily to move data (information) from point A to point B.
Once a software application has been built, or almost built, the work does not end; many issues such as deployment, monitoring, and scalability have to be considered. In fact, many times, this is when the real headaches begin. Poor architecture/design, performance issues, compatibility problems, and security risks can occur.
We provide comprehensive services to you completely or partially outsource your information technology management.

2. Information Assurance
Without a doubt, we live in a net-centric world. New information technologies arrive at lightning speed, allowing us to share information across town, across the country, or around the world faster than ever before. Ascend is dedicated to providing information assurance solutions that will keep your information systems safe from harm. Your security depends on it.
Our mission involves detecting, reporting, and responding to cyber threats; making encryption codes to securely pass information between systems; and embedding IA measures directly into the emerging Global Information Grid. It entails testing the security of customers' systems.
Do you know the answer to the following questions?

  • How well is your information protected?
  • Would you know if it has been compromised?
  • How can you respond when an intrusion occurs or disaster strikes?

IA is a thoughtful, organization-wide strategy to ensure that any information entrusted to you is secure. And it's also effective and efficient implementation of your strategy.
We provide seasoned professionals with IA expertise.
