The company’s strengths in data networking lie across the range of the technical lifecycle, from the development of a network strategy to the addressing of a complex network integration problem. The Logic Group approach is to use best practice and vendor methodologies, in tandem with knowledge of our client’s business, to develop recommendations appropriate to their needs. Examples of the kind of data networking consultancy we provide include:
| • |

Network management process |
The company’s consultants can provide specialist expertise in such areas as WANs, LANs, SANs, wireless and mobility, security, convergence and management.
The Logic Group has also developed a package of managed services that allow retailers to upgrade to secure IP network systems, removing the cost of operating, administering and maintaining legacy network systems. Combining our infrastructure and communications expertise with our strengths in transaction processing and running managed services, the result is the launch of a range of new reliable, secure networking services.
Previously, connectivity to bank networks has been operated by using legacy connections such as X.25 or telephone dial-up lines, neither of which have changed for twenty years and are the equivalent of using cash registers rather than EPoS systems. Modern IP networking offers well-proven, ubiquitous, cost-effective and secure services that are better geared to the demands of today's payment systems. The Logic Group Managed Network Services allow a merchant to contract with a single organisation not only to process all card transactions but to carry them securely as well. Working with a single supplier offers many benefits, including avoiding the finger pointing exercise where part of the system has the issue when multiple suppliers are involved.
