PC Maintenance

Your staff depend on applications on their PCs or servers to perform their duties. They are constantly communicating with other staff, business partners, vendors, and business prospects.

Then you know computers and Internet are critical part of your operation. And you may have been hearing from your staff that they cannot access certain applications or web sites or sometimes Internet or network is slow. Truth is when your staff cannot access the Internet or network or when the system is slow, you are loosing valuable time.

Imagine your staff use Internet for their daily activity 100 times per day. A 1-minute delay will add up to 100 minutes per day, and 433 hours per year. If you are paying $15 per hour to your employee, then you are loosing $6495 per year. And this is only for one staff.

You could invest $446 per year and save more time and money.

Network Maintenance

You may think if you replace your PCs and complete PC maintenance on regular schedule, then you should see performance improvement. This could be true only if you have the latest network technology and your network is designed to improve performance.

Many small businesses are still using the old technology such as Hub instead of switch, or older router. With new router not only you could improve the performance, but you will add other features such as spam and virus protection.

Just because you have installed a backup system doesn't mean it is working. If you cannot restore your data during disaster, then you really don't have any backup.

If you don't have central security such as Active Directory and you are using generic logins or same passwords for more than three months, then your network is not really secured.
