Technical Services

Agora provides integration services to connect your website with your corporate database applications. Agora can merge your website information queries with your offline data sources to create a seamless user experience. Agora can create both private and public web environments for your staff and customers.

Agora understands how to manage and successfully implement IT projects. Our projects follow a formal planning, definition, analysis, development, testing, and implementation process. We are committed to our information technology development process.

Agora will provide all necessary project design, configuration and management for your website and connected systems.

Application Servers:

Agora will provide the configuration needed for your web application server to interact with your database systems. Application servers will typically need a non-standard installation to interact with remote databases. To interact, each database platform requires its own configuration. We can configure application servers to connect to databases housing ERP system data, password data, or data from proprietary programs. The applications servers would be configured to provide two-way interaction.

Database Servers:

Agora will configure web-based databases to accept queries from your inhouse users or directly from inhouse applications. For example, contact management systems can query website inquiries and user details as they are needed. Website contacts can also be tracked directly on website database. Agora can configure databases to accept transaction records from many sources including email, web forms, JBDC, and OBDC queries from local or remote sources.

Web Servers:

Agora provides complete development and integration services between your website and your corporate applications. We can convert online inquiries into database query statements that input data direct to your database or to a transaction staging database. We can configure web servers for public or private hosting, password access, and secure servers. We have experience with Zeus, Apache, Netscape, IBM Commerce server, and other NCSA compatible web servers.

Email Server Installation and Support:

Agora provides complete installation, configuration, and support of Email servers.

FTP Servers:

Agora provides complete installation, configuration, and support of FTP servers.

Firewalls, routers and VPN:

Agora can provide direct configuration or configuration support for remote access between web servers and your internal systems. Basic security can take place at the TCP port and IP address level.
