Information Technology Support

What is Information Technology Support (ITS)?

Most medium and large companies have dedicated on-staff personal or outsourced service providers that provide the on-going support for their Information Technology (IT) infrastructure. This support ˗ which include technical support, and system administration ˗ ensures that their IT infrastructure meet the on-going computing and networking requirements of the business. Some large corporations allocate twenty percent (or more) of their total operating budgets to supporting their IT infrastructure. Unfortunately, most small businesses to not financial resources required to either outsource their IT infrastructure or to employ a full-time IT staff. In many instances, the day-to-day support of the computers and networks (typical small business network) installed at small businesses is either not done by anyone. However, if a major software, hardware, or networking problem occur, the company's computers and/or networks could be inoperative for hours (or sometimes days). Our Information Technology Support (ITS) can provide a complete range of  tech support and sysadmin services for your business at a fraction of the cost of either employing your own on-staff technicians, or outsourcing your IT support function to a managed IT service provider. We can provide a comprehensive set of professional technical support and system administration services to your company at rates that are less than half of the $79/hr-to-99/hr. rates charged by many of our competitors.

Small Business Computer Management Services (SBCMS)

Although we provide a wide-range of IT services, we specialize in the management and support of the Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 personal computers installed at most small businesses. Many of our small business customers have between two and twenty-five computers, and none have on-staff personnel with the required technical expertise to manage and support these systems on an on-going basis. Our Small Business Computer Management Services (SBCMS) ensures that our customer's computers perform at the optimal level during their complete life-cycle. In many instances, SMCMS can extend the productive life-cycle of your installed computers from three to five years. Please click here for a detail description of SBCMS.

Upgrading or Donating Your Outdated Computer Systems

Inexpensive Upgrades

If it appears that your PCs have reached the end of their lifecycle or not capable of supporting the required business function, we will determine if an inexpensive hardware upgrade (RAM, disk, CPU, ...) will add more years to the productive life-cycle of these computers. Upgrading and re-using your existing computers will save your company hundreds of dollars per year over this extended life-cycle, and also could help protect our fragile environment.

Donating Computer to Charity

If we are unable to economically upgrade your outdated compers, we will find a suitable charitable or educational institution to which these computers can be donated. Prior to doing this, we will backup all data files and perform a complete reformat reformat of all hard disk installed on these computer system. Finally, we will complete the Noncash Charitable Contriburions form (Form 8283) describing the type and value of each computer to be donated.
