Many smaller to medium companies do not have the experience or staff to handle the setup and support of an IT infrastructure. Although some may have you believe setting up and managing a network is straight forward. It is not, unless you have the experience and have done it many times before. At IQ Software we have done it many times before.

Common remarks we hear made at small organisation is “our computers never work”, “the email system is down yet again” or “when are we going to get a decent web site”.

As a special consultancy service to assist those SMEs without a strong IT department we provide services such as:

• Ensuring a good, secure and reliable internet connection is available.
• Setting up a company web site.
• Setting up company intranet.
• Analysing the network topology and setup.
• Setting up email services on both server and workstations.
• Recommending good computers, peripherals, network equipment and software.
• Installing and configuring servers and workstations.
• Checking out the current servers and workstations for faults.
• Cleaning all machines of viruses (you’ll be surprise how many viruses get through even when you have virus protection).
• Installing Virus protection and a mechanism to ensure that the latest viruses are identified.
• Ensuring that the network is secure and safe.
• Ensuring that you have good and reliable backups.
• Installing Document Management and other useful business software.

And of course we provide on-going support to ensure that your network remains reliable and safe. This is generally in the form of a regular monthly check-up and a call-out facility to assist when you have problems.
