services

wincosys provides a range of services to the transport, travel and tourism industry. From general systems advice and web design through to the complex matters of security and project management, wincosys aims to help you achieve your business goals through the delivery of cost effective support and solutions.

Below is a general overview of the services that we provide. If you are in doubt as to what we provide, please do not hesitate to ask, by stating your requirements on our contact form.

project/programme management

Selecting a supplier to carry out your IT work is never an easy task when you are focused on your own area of expertise - especially when there could be more than one IT supplier involved. wincosys can assist you in this by acting as an interface between your business and any suppliers. We can make sure that suppliers understand what it is you want to achieve and manage their performance and goals. As Prince 2 Practioners we follow the principles of good project governance, but recognise that every business is unique and as a result the Prince 2 tool set should be adapted to meet the business and not the other way around. Carrying project management forward in to operational delivery, wincosys limited has ISEB ITIL qualified consultants to hand who have knowledge and expereince of deliverying and managing a quality service to the customer.

business analysis

We can help you understand your existing business processes through working closely with the people carrying out the tasks, gaining an understanding of what they do and documenting those processes. From there we can make our recommendations as to a way forward, which may involve drawing up new processes, identifying opportunities for positive change, the writing of specifications and assisting you in the selection of suppliers to build any applications to support the new processes.

security

Systems security comes down to one thing - the protection of your brand. In a close knit industry that is under the eye of public scrutiny you need to make sure that not only your office based PC systems are protected from viruses and hackers but your retail systems too. Increasingly throughout the sector, retail systems are being hosted on off the shelf systems that would not be out of place in the office or at home, hence leaving your means of collecting revenue and customer data subject to the same vulnerabilities as an office computer. wincosys can deliver pragmatic advice to your business on mitigating the security threat.

web design and advice

The web increasingly is a person's window on the world. If your business is not on the web then people are not going to see you. Some people may call them "vanity sites", but a simple four or five page web site lets the world know you are there and hence lets them do business with you. People when holidaying once never thought twice about phoning a tourist information office for accommodation advice, now they do it themselves by going on the internet. At wincosys, we can help you with your internet needs, from cost effective web site development, helping make your copy "web friendly", to identifying those unique words and phrases that may help your web site stand out from the rest on a search engine.

For guests houses, B&Bs and other accommodation providers, we can:

• Design your site
• Optimise your content for search engines by maximising benefit from you copy and keywords
• Carry out photography for your site

As a member of the UK Web Design Association you can be assured that we keep abreast of current trends in web development especially usability and design.
