Pro active systems monitoring and intelligent self-healing computers sustain a modern business. Consider for one moment this scenario. You spend over an hour shopping for groceries, stand in line at the check-out, the attendant scans all of your items and just as she completes scanning your last coupon, up pops a screen on her cash register monitor saying that her computer is compromised and she will need to buy XP Internet Security 2010 before she can continue, the register freezes up.

No… this scenario will not happen. You see, her cash register or point of sale system comes from a major computer services company (look, the next time you’re at the check out counter) and is a sophisticated Intel based personal computer designed for a commercial environment. It’s not a toy, like the computer you have on your desk.

We do the systems stuff to Windows computer environments that make them perform like the cash registers and point of sale environment at your local grocery store. You don’t need to waste your or your employees’ valuable time on fixing toys.

Contact us to get your end user personal computer environment turned in the right direction and begin adding all that wasted time back to your work day.

We’re often asked for recommendations about what type of desktop or laptop computer that a business should purchase, so here they are.

1 – If you do computing primarily in a Microsoft Windows environment, such as most general mainstream business, education and government computing, stick with Microsoft Windows. The computer brand is not so important as long as it’s an internationally recognized brand. If your computing environment consists primarily of Apple Mac, high end graphics, web and conventional publishing, music and art, stick with Mac. Switching back and forth’s not for the faint of heart.

2 – Microsoft offers several operating systems that we find suitable for businesses; Windows XP Professional, Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Ultimate.

3 – Purchase as much memory as your budget can stand but get a minimum of 2 GB.

4 – Purchase as much warranty as you can afford. Plan for at least a three year life span with warranty to cover the term.

From time to time, we’ll try to save you some money here with links to specific computers. Some of these can be customized. You can purchase them by clicking the links or print the specs and purchase them from your local electronics outlet.
