We're not geeks. Rather we're mature people with a business background and qualifications, supplemented by IT training and experience. We seek to understand your needs and discuss 'IT' at your level to achieve the best outcome for your business.

• We can get computers in the same or in remote offices to talk to each other. We've been doing this for clients mainly in the southern and western suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia since 1995.

• We support Microsoft and Novell Networks: they both have their place.

• We do not push our clients to adopt a particular system, hardware or software option. Where possible we offer you the opportunity to purchase new or manufacturer surplus stock items (with factory warranty)

• We believe nobody is the complete expert in IT: this industry moves so quickly that nobody can know it all we are all constantly learning. For example, while we've dabbled in it, if you need a web site designed, there are others more capable that we would refer you to.

• A secure computer network can lead to efficiencies in the operation of your business, and if you make the right choices you can save money as well.

Some issues for business owners to consider:

If you have four or five computers you should consider a dedicated file server computer which sits in a corner and nobody touches. This is where you store your shared data files, it distributes jobs to network printers, it backs up your data to disk or tape, and it can control your access to the Internet, while also representing a firewall to outsiders trying to get to your network.

If you have a significant amount of important and sensitive data in the form of email, and you use Outlook Express or Outlook, do you have a backup of your mail for that occasion when the computer gets stolen or the hard drive fails? Most businesses do not because both these products make the actual mail files hard to find unless you know how.  The solution is to have your very own mail server, which stores all your users' messages, and your desktop mail program only has a copy of these messages.
