How much time is your company wasting due to old PC’s or Laptops or other technology?

Employee Average Salary                   $62,400

Average Hourly Labor Rate                $30/Hour  (40 hours x 52 Weeks)

% Time Wasted to Slow Computer    2.00%

Annual Cost of Time Waste                  $1,248 per employee

Run the math, it is that simple. If your employees are losing 2% simply due to a computer, how much is the entire company losing when you have 10 employees? You have to consider what is the amount of production time your employee could be spending doing valuable work rather than wasting their time waiting for a slow computer.

Laptops – make sure you get one with an SSD Drive (Solid State Drive), since the SATA (Moving part drives are an issue and this is where your data gets stored) & also have it big enough to hold your data or have a backup in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to bring it to you or Do You come to my location?

We can always analyze and see what the problem is and determine our plan of action.  Usually it boils down to a hardware problem or a drive failure then we’d want to have it back in the shop.  Other cases it can be Plugins that get added to browsers, malware, or tweak certain items to correct.

We handle clients in a variety of towns and cities and even help a bunch out remotely all over the world.  We help out Home Users and Businesses and stop getting forced to sign up for monthly or yearly contracts.

How much do you charge?

It all can depends on the situation and the time needed for each case.  We do charge $100/hour.  With brand new computer setup, we spend about 2-3 hours installing the programs, windows updates, customize, and charge 1 hour of labor.

We give breaks to clients because we are not like an attorney firm that needs to hit the stop watch on every little detail.  This is what sets us apart from the competition since we don’t mind giving some free advice.  If you help people in the long run good karma will come back to you.

This is why we don’t really recommend you buy refurbished items, they might work, or might not, and it’s kind of like buying used underwear.

Do you service Apple products?

We only have limited support and service for Apple devices.

We are more advanced on PC and Server platforms in support.  We do help setup macs to networks, install email solutions on ipad/phones/macs, install software to keep them protected, add backup solutions.  We mostly focus on hardware and software problems in the PC and Laptop and Server environment.

If you have a desktop PC or MAC make sure you have a APC Battery Backup UPS, this will protect the desktop from power surges or spikes since a surge protector is kind of useless if you have either of those and can ruin and effect a hard drive.

Can you replace cracked/damaged laptop screens?

We only service the software and other hardware that laptops can use.  We do not repair or replace laptop screens.  Be careful with some of the other companies who want to fix your defective laptop or screens.  Average life in a computer is 2-5 years and also the big thing boils down to charging not working anymore, screen is broken and costs too much to replace, laptop overheats and should have been using a cooling pad.

Another things with hard drives when you look at new ones, make sure you get one with an SSD (Solid State Drive).  This is a hard drive with no moving parts and will boot up your machine much faster.  If you have any questions or in the market, feel free to give us a call and we can discuss your options.

I’m worried about my data, is it safe?

We will always take great care in looking after your data. We conform to the Data Protection Act and any data we hold is held in strict confidence. We undertake work for a number of local businesses including solicitors and high street shops and understand how important personal data is.

Just like with passwords, we have over 1800 logins and we don’t need to have more client information.  Some clients lose this information and we do make an exception on putting notes in folders if they ask us to do this to refer back if they need help.
