Derive Technologies makes the specialized needs of New York State and New York City the focal point of its Government and Public Sector practice. As an Empire State company which has been in New York for over two decades, while we serve the needs of businesses throughout the country and the world, we are closely attuned to the IT business challenges faced by public sector enterprises in our own state and city.

GOVERNMENT SECTOR IT INFRASTRUCTURE

• Derive is keenly aware of the challenges to New York State and New York City Government and Public Sector offices of having many incongruent technologies in their data centers and disparate data repositories.
• Infrastructures for Government agencies -- even post 9/11 -- have often been forced to "do their jobs" for extended periods without, for the fiscal reasons faced by all municipalities, opportunity for refresh.
• Derive can help you to breathe new life into your technology environment through:
• Strategic evaluation of the legacy servers, storage, network and security systems within Government and Public Sector offices: Including mainframe technologies and a roadmap for better utilization of your existing technologies.
• A plan, including a "real world" ROI analysis (developed with your specific requirements in mind): For new system purchases and reduced-cost implementation and maintenance services.
• Leveraging new technologies to further reduce data center costs: Including server and storage, Virtualization and web-based Application Access Infrastructure and Portals.

• Our experience in supporting the specific technology needs of enterprises within the Government and Public Sector domain, includes, among others:
• Public healthcare systems.
• Municipal transportation.
• Public educational institutions.
• Public utilities.
• State and city-owned cultural organizations.

• Derive has been, for its entire 20+ years in business, a powerful provider of IT security and business system recovery solutions.
• We recognize the unique environment surrounding security, which is part of the New York landscape, and give your agency, organization or institution peace of mind regarding your critical Infrastructure.
