Here's how my experience can help your business meet its IT needs:

Technical Support

  • Some one to call with how-to questions, advice, answers to technical questions, ways to work better and limit your down time.  Proactively manage your systems to run smoothly by keeping them up to date. 

  • Setup and testing for data backups. The most important thing you can do is back up your data regularly and test each backup. The hardware can easily be replaced but your business information is priceless.  Backups save time and money - just ask someone who's lost it all.

  • Protect yourself, your data and your systems from attacks. You need to protect against viruses, spyware, malware, popups, spam, break ins and a host of other terrible things. These tools need to be properly installed, updated and run for maximum coverage. Then, you know you're as safe as you can be.

  • Proactively manage your systems to run smoothly by keeping them up to date.     

Systems Analysis

  • Let's look at what kind of systems, software and communications you need now and as your business grows.  Having a plan helps you budget for and schedule additional systems, upgrades, new software, website improvements and regular maintenance.
