Projects

Small to enterprise sized projects

Loquinar has implemented projects for small organisations right through to enterprises that cover the globe. We have worked with the private and public sectors, federal and state and local government and across a variety of industry sectors such as finance, banking, logistics, education, entertainment, engineering.

For larger projects we follow a project implementation methodology which is specifically developed over many years and follows current vendor best practices. As projects get smaller we scale back enterprise level deliverables where appropriate.

We try and ensure that regardless of project size, a structured approach using best practices is always employed. This repetition of process increases development speed and reduces project risk, which in the end reduces costs and meets deadlines.

Loquinar prefers quoting fixed price wherever possible.

Ongoing

Support, audits & troubleshooting

Support agreements

Our support agreements give you certainty that we will respond to your problems in a timely fashion, should they occur. Our standard support agreement is four hours per month, paid up front on a per quarter basis.

The best part is that you are not restricted in the way you use this time — solve a problem, provide advice or perform some research. It's your choice.

Troubleshooting

Through formal education, industry education and extensive experience, we have developed a reputation for resolving complex problems with Microsoft, Citrix and related technologies.

Our detailed understanding of supporting technologies such as networking, operating systems, communications and programming is invaluable when troubleshooting integrated systems.

About us

History

Loquinar was founded in 1994 and our area of specialisation has never changed.

Our staff are long term and carefully hand picked. We still boast the fact that we have no sales staff. This stability has enabled us to maintain multi-year support and maintenance relationships with government, educational and private sector enterprises.

Our solutions and problem resolution are a reflection of our personal ability.

Specialisation & methodology

Loquinar operate against a project implementation methodology which is specifically developed over many years and follows current vendor best practices. As projects get smaller we scale back the enterprise level deliverables where appropriate. This ensures that regardless of project size, a structured approach using best practices is always employed. This repetition of process increases development speed and reduces project risk which in the end reduces costs and meets deadlines.

Our philosophy

We are your level 3 resources or enterprise architects or project implementers that you can bring in when needed. Then at an undefined period in the future, you may need us again, and the same person responds to the same telephone number.

Experience

Our services are led by engineers with extensive experience. This means personally working on hundreds of projects across decades.

Our principal has a degree in electrical engineering, a telecommunications major, and a thesis on operating system performance models. Initially working for IBM and then Citrix Systems, he has been an architect and implementer of computer systems since the early 1990s.
