Services include, but not limited to:

Network Consulting and Repair

Business Network Design / Installation - A wired or wireless LAN, or Local Area Network, connects your company's computers and allows them to share resources such as files and printers. If your office has multiple computers, you can gain tremendous benefit by networking them. We'll design and construct the perfect network for you, and put your business into high gear. Contact Us!

Network Troubleshooting / Support / Repair - Are you having problems with your existing network? If your network is down or not functioning properly, it is difficult for your employees to be productive, which costs your business time and money. We'll come to your office to troubleshoot, diagnose, and fix the problems ailing your network. Let us get your business back on track! Contact Us!

Wireless Network Security - How safe is your wireless network? The default installation for most wireless networks does not include setting up security, which means that over 75% of all wireless networks are NOT secure! So unless you have taken deliberate steps to implement security, more than likely your network is at risk. We'll come to your business and lock down your network, so you can keep unwanted hackers and other pesky intruders out by restricting access to only the computers of your choice. Don't chance having your critical business data stolen, let us secure your network today! Contact Us!

System Protection and Internet Security

Virus / Spyware / Adware Protection, Scan and Removal - Are your computers running extremely slow or acting a bit strange? Chances are they got infected with a virus or worm, or are loaded down with spyware and adware. Whether a hacker or identity thief has infected your computers or email with Trojans, malware, or other nasty enemies, we have just the medicine they need. We'll scan the entire hard drive and remove every trace of unwanted junk that slows down your computers and threatens the confidentiality of your private information. We'll also teach you how to keep your computers spotless and secure by preventing future outbreaks. Contact Us!

Internet Content Filtering - Don't let your employees take advantage of their Internet privileges! When employees spend too much time on irrelevant or obscene websites, it decreases productivity and costs organizations, like yours, time and money. We come to your business, help you purchase, install, and configure Internet filtering software that blocks access to irrelevant and obscene websites, prevents your employees from spending too much time online, and more. We then give you a personalized training session on how to use the software. This service is also great for school districts (and libraries) to keep teachers and students on task while using the Internet. Contact Us!

Routine Maintenance and Cleaning

System Tune-Up and Optimization - Let's face it - without periodic maintenance your computers become increasingly sluggish, disorganized, and cluttered. We'll optimize your systems with hundreds of system tweaks and enhancements that will defragment your hard drives, accelerate performance, make Windows boot faster, and increase your Internet and download speeds by up to 300%. We'll also perform several critical system updates, maintenance tasks, and repairs that will correct hard drive problems, clean and optimize your system registry, find and fix stubborn system errors, and more. Let us keep your computers running smooth, fast, and error free! Contact Us!

  • Physical Cleaning - When was the last time you thoroughly cleaned your computers - inside and outside? If it has been awhile (or never!), then you need our physical cleaning service. Experts recommend that you clean your computers every 3-6 months. Removing dust and dirt buildup not only stops the spread of germs, but also keeps your computers functioning properly, and even extends the life of your computers by allowing them to properly cool themselves. Let us come out and give your computers the ultimate cleaning; we'll remove the dust particles from inside your computer cases, spray your keyboards and mice with compressed air, and shine up your monitors. Your computers will look and run like new again! Contact Us!

Website Design and Development Services

Get your business up to speed with a new or updated web site. Customers expect to find you online, and when they can't, they go to your competitor, the one that does have a website! Let us build your business a great-looking custom designed website so you can stop letting potential customers slip through the cracks. We work with you to design a site that will fit your needs - whether you need a simple web presence, a large e-commerce site, or a fresh look for your existing website. In addition, to creating your website, we can also manage all of the hosting details for you as well and optimize your site so your new website has the best chances of ranking highly in the search engines.

Graphic Design and Corporate Identity Services

In the business world, first impressions matter. Potential customers can tell a lot about you and your company based on the visual image that you portray. We can help your business stand out from your competition and get noticed by potential customers with custom graphic design and corporate internet identity presence tactics. Whether you need an eye-popping logo, a striking brochure, one-of-a-kind business cards, dazzling letterhead, promotional materials that grab potential customers' attention, or a completely custom project, we've got you covered. Make that first impression count and offload the design to us so you can focus on what you do best.

Data Recovery and other Forensic Data Services

Data Recovery - Losing critical data can have devastating effects on the financial, legal, and productivity aspects of your business. A staggering 60% of all businesses that have suffered catastrophic data loss never fully recover. Let us help you recover from disaster and prevent your business from becoming a statistic! Whether you've lost your data due to accidental deletion, damage caused by a power surge, corruption brought on by a virus or worm, the "formatting" or "fdisking" of your hard drive, or even an entire system crash, we can get your valuable data back. The types of data we can help you recover include email, documents, spreadsheets, system files, databases, and more. We can also recover data from CD and DVD media, memory cards, and other portable devices. Contact us for a quote. - Contact Us!

Secure Online Data Backup - How safe is your critical data? Unexpected catastrophes like hard disk failure, accidental file deletion, virus infection, fire, and theft happen frequently to businesses every day. It is absolutely essential that your business performs backups of all your critical data to protect your business in case the unimaginable occurs.

One-Time Data Backup - Protect your data with our one-time data backup service that includes the transfer of all your critical files to CD or DVD media. Includes up to 9.4 GB of data. Contact Us!

Data Migration - Is your business looking to upgrade to new computers? If so, you'll need to transfer the data from your old computers to your new computers. With our data migration service we can help you do just that. Contact Us!

Secure Data Deletion - Don't get caught giving away your confidential data! If your business is selling, donating, or otherwise getting rid of its old computers (or even just upgrading hard drives), you must ensure that all your sensitive data is securely erased. Deleting files, or even formatting the entire hard drive, does NOT actually remove the data from your drive. All your old email, private business documents, customer databases, trade secrets, tax returns, passwords and more still exist on the drive. With a little know-how these files are easily recoverable, and can lead to identity theft of your business or your employees. With our secure data deletion service we can wipe your entire hard drive, or even just a few files or folders, so that the data is completely destroyed and 100% gone with absolutely no possibility of it being recovered. Contact Us!

Data Recovery Strategies and Disaster Planning - Have you ever worried about what would happen if your business suddenly lost all of its data? Would you be able to recover? Don't become part of the 60% of businesses that are unable to recuperate from catastrophic data loss. Let us help you plan for, and be able to recover from, the worst. Contact Us!
