UNIX systems can be enigmatic to most folks, even IT personnel, who grew up on GUI (graphical user interface) systems. CIM Concepts has several analysts who cut their milk teeth using UNIX command-line interfaces, and who will be equally comfortable with whatever UNIX variant you throw at them... Berkeley BSD derivatives, Sun Solaris, and open-source Linux, to name a few.

The power and beauty of UNIX systems lies in the flexible and extensible toolset. Scripting languages can be used to build modular command-line tools that feed into and off of each other to create powerful user or administrative tools with little or no compiled code required.

CIM Concepts has extensive toolsets already built from our years of UNIX involvement, and is completely comfortable building custom scripts to meet client needs. We can "cut, grep, and awk" with the best of them!

Our process controls background gives us an especially strong expertise with UNIX-based Foxboro AW and WP workstations.

CIM Concepts can help design and document your network configuration. We can advise in proper separation of process data from the business LAN with firewalls and demilitarized zones (DMZ's) for maximum security.
