One of the most important aspects of your business, as an owner or an office manager, is taking a proactive approach to the security and overall health of your hardware and technical systems. When systems fail and business is at a stand still, you can find yourself faced with a painful and potentially expensive reminder of the importance of preventative maintenance. The short-term cost of downtime can be great, but negative customer perception due to downtime can be huge and extremely costly to overcome. As is the old adage, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
Server Maintenance
Ensure proper installation of all Microsoft security updates and patches (critical and time consuming)
Review Event logs for warnings and errors (Application, System, etc. and backup logs)
Removal of temporary files that slow-down a PC’s performance
Run routine Exchange server tasks to maintain a healthy database
While no amount of prevention can eliminate problems altogether, there are basic tasks and points of inspection that can reduce exposure and help detect problems at early stages. All of the work is done remotely, after hours, so that business is not interrupted.
PC Maintenance/Tune-up
Ensure proper installation of all Microsoft security updates and patches (very important and time consuming)
Review of Event logs for warnings and errors (Application, System, etc. and backup logs)
Removal of temporary files that slow-down a PC’s performance
