Programs and Projects

  • Maintenance and management of the entire data distribution system at both the Casino and the Tribal Administration offices.
  • Maintain Network connectivity to all of our facilities through various methods of connectivity. i.e Fiber Optics, Tunnels over Charter, Wireless Radio connections.
  • Paramount to all of our needs, are the backups and restoration functions. With the level of complexity the Smith River Rancheria Data structure has come to be, backup procedures are a significant importance in the data stream structure. There is no way to guarantee 100% no failure with hardware. So, with that said, backups play a significant role in maintaining up time.
  • Thorough understanding of the applications available to the organization. We strive to maintain a high level of competence to allow us to answer the needs of our end users as quickly and efficiently as possible.
  • Refreshing computers and network equipment on a routine schedule to make sure you are functional the most efficiently possible.
  • Our GIS (Geographical Information Services) Division allows us to deliver mapping information to anyone with a need, such as Natural Resources or our housing department.

” We strive to make sure your daily tasks are met with the utilization of modern
