We’ve compiled a list of the 3 most important things you and your IT guy should be doing to save your business a lot of time and money by avoiding a big, ugly computer disaster.
If you are a Fixed IT client, fear not, we are already doing these things for you:
- Image based daily backups: I cannot stress the importance of this enough. Having full image backups of your servers and computers is the equivalent of wearing a seat belt in a major accident– You don’t think much about it until you need it, and then you will thank your lucky stars you had it in place.
- Centralize data on your server: At one time, servers only made sense for large organizations because of their high cost and complexity. But today, there are very affordable and easy-to-implement server systems designed specifically for any size small business. Depending on your business needs, your server can be in your office or hosted in the cloud. A server will not only speed up your network, but it will also make backups easier, allow secure remote access (allowing you and your employees to work from home or on the road) and make it much easier to share documents, databases and printers.
- Keep your anti-virus software up to date, perform weekly spyware scans: Almost everyone understands the importance of anti-virus software, but many businesses still do not perform weekly spyware sweeps. Spyware can cause a host of problems, including identity theft.
Seems like basic stuff for an IT guy, right? The fact is, 90% of prospective clients we meet with aren’t getting 2 out of 3 of these bullet points from their current IT guy. With our Fixed IT service, we take full responsibility for managing your computer network! Fixed IT is guaranteed to eliminate expensive, frustrating computer problems and give you the peace of mind that your data is safe and secure.
