Important questions to ask about your data backups

I know, data security can seem SUPER boring. And your provider says they have it covered. An IT company can be great at security, but there are always failures along the way. Therefore, I consider working data backups to be the single most important thing we offer as IT providers. You can train and plan […]

  • Brass tacks. What does an IT company like ours do?

    We are an IT company that does comprehensive monthly IT services for businesses and non-profits with 15-100 staff.

    Who needs a monthly IT package?

    Any business or non-profit whose staff uses computers to do their jobs. If something breaks, you have an IT company to call for help. And we are always working to make sure things don't break in the first place. We also communicate with website and application vendors proactively to make sure you have the right products, taking an overall view of your business to make sure you are using the best tools at an appropriate price point.

    Everyone needs a contingency plan.

    Office technology, like a car or a house or anything that we make, fails. Things degrade, hardware breaks eventually, software needs to be maintained. We plan for failure and have offsite data backups for every client. Natural disaster could strike. Or a virus infection (such as 'Cryptolocker') could hold your data hostage. A massive server failure often involves issues with the physical server drives, or software failure. You don't want your IT team messing around in your office for a whole day or more trying to fix such problems while you wait, so in the event of an emergency we would move you to your back-up server and keep your business running while we fix the original problem remotely. Attention to detail and documentation well in advance is important here. You need a contingency plan to keep your business running if there is a major IT problem.

    It's an exciting time for IT.

    In the late 1990s, every organization had to have their own email server which would cost at least $2,000-$3,000 in licensing every 3 years, plus thousands more for a server, and more for IT expertise. But now you can have your whole work computer, including email and other applications, operating from centralized systems in the cloud for a monthly fee. It's usually not worth it to have your own big computer (server) sitting in your office needing replacing every few years, at a high cost to you. Overall with services like our flagship Cloud Office, your work technology is now more secure, easier to operate, and requires less maintenance than ever before.

Your office IT options: in-house, pay-as-you-go, or managed services?

When thinking about how to manage your office IT, you have a few different choices. You could go DIY. But eventually you get big enough that you don’t want to spend time fixing computers. Setting up a company’s data security systems, for instance, is a big job for just one or two people. That leaves […]

What is the history of IT support and where is it going?

The history of “information technology” (IT) services as we know and love it starts in the 1980s. Many IT companies today provide “managed services.” Meanwhile, IT-as-a-service is also emerging. But in the 80s, a company needed multiple IT specialists to fix technology issues. During the 1980s, workplaces started using more and more technology to help […]
