Dedicated Support Days »
Many small businesses don’t have dedicated in house computer support. Why should they? It simply doesn’t make financial sense for a small business. That’s where we come in. We can offer regular support days where one of our professional engineers carries out an agreed number of tasks from uploading the latest drivers to relocating equipment for you. You can book an engineer once a week, once a month or whatever frequency suits you. We can even do much of this work remotely which saves us time and you money!

Hardware Recommendation & Supply »
We’re able to provide you with anything from a cable to an entire office infrastructure. And we’re totally independent so we won’t push a particular manufacturer’s equipment; we will always recommend the right equipment for the job. Even better, we can supply it, set it up and show you how to use it effectively; a far cry from some of the “box shifting” retailers.

How secure is your computer? Have you downloaded the latest patches and updates for Windows and MS Office?
One way to protect yourself is to install a firewall, which keeps intruders from sneaking into your computer and accessing your private data.
Firewalls can prevent Spyware programs from transmitting your sensitive information over the internet. In particular, firewalls are crucial if you have the always-on internet connection.

Data Backup & Recovery »
How much valuable data have you stored on your machine… from family photos to MP3 music files to important documents?
When did you last back up? Imagine right now that your computer suddenly crashed and everything on your hard drive was lost forever! It’s not a matter of if your computer will crash but when.
If you’re running a business and you haven’t backed up your data then the issues are potentially much more serious. A system crash could stop you trading for hours, days or even weeks, and you could even be breaking data protection laws by not keeping your data safe and secure.
Did you know?
- 34% of companies fail to test their backups, and of those that do, 77% have found back-up failures (Source: Home Office Computing Magazine)
- 93% of companies that lost their data centre for 10 days or more due to a disaster filed for bankruptcy within one year of the disaster. (Source: National Archives & Records Administration)
It’s worth noting that ALL disk drives fail, regardless of brand or type. We can show you how to back up or if you haven’t got any backup devices we can supply and fit cost effective and tailor made backing up solutions for the home or business to suit your needs, ranging from basic CD-rewriters to high capacity external hard drives with fully automated scheduled backing up software.

VoIP (FREE Internet phone calls) »
VoIP stands for Voice Over the Internet Protocol. It works by converting a voice signal into data which is then transmitted over the Internet like any other data such as an e-mail. This information is then re-assembled at the other end and converted back into an audible voice. The main advantage of doing this is that most people these days have a fixed cost local internet connection which allows them to transmit data anywhere in the world at no extra cost. This same principle applies to VOIP so you effectively get calls to anywhere in the world at no extra charge.
Whether at home or within your business, VoIP technology can save you a fortune and bring a number of other advantages. If you want to know more then give us a call on 0845 2233116 to discuss your requirements in more detail or click here to request a call.
