What is integration?
Integration combines cyber tools that work together in a single, cohesive system for complex tech environments.
SecuritasIT's approach as an integrator
Phase 1: Assessment and Design
Discovery and Needs Assessment
Understanding the client's current technology landscape and cyber requirements.
Designing a cyber solution that aligns with the client's needs, including system architecture and tool selection.
Phase 2: Planning and Agreement
Creating a detailed proposal with integration scope, timeline, and costs.
Formalizing the agreement with documentation covering terms, services, and responsibilities.
Phase 3: Implementation and Testing
Implementation
Procuring, installing, and integrating cyber tools, ensuring they work together seamlessly.
Testing
Conducting various tests to verify the system's functionality, integration, and performance.
Phase 4: Deployment and Support
Managing the transition to the new tools, providing initial support during the go-live phase.
Offering ongoing support, updates, and system optimization based on performance and client feedback.
Integrator, MSP, VAR, and Consultant
Tech companies can be broadly defined by 4 categories. SecuritasIT acts as an integrator and provides tools needed for integration.
VAR (Value-Added Reseller)
-
Primary Role: VARs buy products from manufacturers or distributors, enhance them in some way, and then sell these products to end-users.
-
Value Added: The "value" they add might be in the form of hardware or software customization, bundling products with services like installation, setup, or training, or providing specialized solutions that are not available directly from the manufacturer.
-
Example: A VAR might take a standard server and add custom software to manage inventory for a retail store, then sell this solution to businesses.

MSP (Managed Service Provider)
-
Primary Role: MSPs provide managed IT services, typically focusing on ongoing management and support of IT systems rather than one-off sales.
-
Services: They might offer services like remote monitoring, maintenance, security management, data backup and recovery, technical support, and cloud services management.
-
Example: An MSP might manage all your network security, ensuring patches are applied, systems are monitored for threats, and support is available 24/7.
Consultant
-
Primary Role: Consultants provide expert advice in their area of specialization. They help clients make informed decisions about technology strategy, implementation, and management.
-
Services: This can range from strategic IT planning, project management, process improvement, to technology audits, and recommendations on tech investments.
-
Example: A tech consultant might assess your current IT infrastructure, identify inefficiencies, and recommend a strategic plan for adopting new technologies or improving existing systems.
Integrator
-
Primary Role: System integrators combine different subsystems or components into a single functioning system. They are crucial in complex environments where multiple technologies need to work together seamlessly.
-
Focus: Their work often involves hardware and software integration, ensuring compatibility, performance, and sometimes developing custom interfaces or middleware.
-
Example: An integrator might be hired to ensure that a new ERP system can communicate effectively with existing CRM, HR, and accounting systems in a company.
