Invest In Your Performance

The bigger the business the more you need.

Let's face it: maintaining a system is always easier than repairing it during a crisis. Just as regular maintenance keeps your car running without a hitch, regular IT maintenance keeps your business primed and purring like a turbojet engine. Why? Even the most sophisticated computer systems are composed of delicate electronic and mechanical components that wear out. Add daily use by employees with varying levels of computer skills, constant virus attacks, occasional network outages, neglected software upgrades and repairs, and server snafus and its no wonder that problems crop up.

With our monthly maintenance packages, regular check-ups, diagnostics, and cleanings we'll make sure that problems with hardware, software, security, network and servers are don't go unnoticed before its too late. Which, in the end, means less downtime for you.

Of course, we can still handle emergencies when they occur--quickly and professionally. Again: so you can get back to work.

Our monthly plans include the following, which you can schedule at a time that's best for you:

Firewall Security

Firewall security protects your IT system in much the same way that a firewall protects the inside of a building: it stops outside threats from invading your private system. Security is a must for all businesses, but especially if you keep sensitive client information like billing or medical records, or if your accounting and financial functions are handled in-house. Since firewall security software programs are constantly evolving in response to today's changing tech climate, maintaining your firewall security not only protects your company from potent threats, but it also protects you from potential liability if hackers gain access to your clients' files.

Virus Detections & Inoculations

While the flu might keep you grounded for a couple of days, computer viruses are worse. From hijacking your e-mail program's address book and spewing out corrupted e-mails to wiping out your hard drive, e-mail viruses can bring an office to its knees. And since cleaning up an infected system can take quite some doing, viruses also mean you're going to lose valuable business hours dealing with the mess.

That's where our monthly maintenance packages come in: we detect all viruses, eliminate them and inoculate against future attacks.

Constant maintenance is a must as viruses are continually morphing and proliferating. Skipping just one virus or spyware protection update could make the difference between protection and disaster.

Network Performance

Your office only functions as well as your employees' computers can talk to each other and to the outside world. From Internet and e-mail to file sharing and printer access, your business is dependent on your network. Even one outage-like a printer that's gone mysteriously off-line-can stop everybody in their tracks. Under UPTIME's maintenance plans, we'll go over your network with a fine-toothed comb every month so we can identify potential problem areas and address them.

Upgrade Recommendations

Most of the time, you're so busy actually running your business that you don't have time to pay attention to the software and hardware upgrades that could make your IT system more efficient, more secure, or more cost effective. Since UPTIME will be thoroughly versed in your current system, we can suggest software and hardware upgrades each month so that you'll learn about them as they come available and as they're needed.

Server Management

If the netowork is the circulatory system of your office IT, the server is the brain: if it goes down everything from email and intranet to a host of essential applications go down. Each month we'll inspect both server hardware and software to identify and resolve problems before they mushroom into heart attack-inducing emergencies.

Minor Software Upgrade & Repair

As part of our monthly maintenance, we'll provide minor software upgrades and repairs so you and your employees don't lose valuable man hours upgrading-or worse: neglect to upgrade when prompted.
