“We don’t need to outsource our network monitoring and maintenance. One of our staff knows about computer stuff.”
We frequently get calls from business owners who desperately need our help to get back up and running or to clean up a mess that was caused by an inexperienced computer geek who knows “stuff”.
One of the biggest and most costly problems that business owners can have is to ignore network monitoring and maintenance OR to try to cut costs in this area.
If your computer support tech does not insist on some type of regular, automated monitoring or maintenance of your network, then GET RID OF THEM!
Lack of system maintenance is the NUMBER ONE reason most people end up losing valuable files and incur heavy computer repair bills.
If your technician isn’t offering these services, he’s very inexperienced…..
Computer networks are complex and dynamic systems that need regular updates and maintenance to stay up, running fast and problem free. Here are just a FEW of the critical updates that need to be done on a weekly – if not daily – basis:
• Security patches applied – with NEW viruses and hacker attacks cropping up DAILY, this is a CRITICAL part of maintaining your network
• Antivirus updates and monitoring
• Firewall updates and monitoring
• Backup monitoring and test restores
• Spam filter installation and updates
• Spyware detection and removal
• Monitoring disk space on workstations and servers
• Monitoring hardware for signs of failure
• Optimizing systems for maximum speed
