Advice comes in three forms; helpsheets, newsletters and tips.
The helpsheets are the most common question we are asked, the
newsletters are written when there is something important to say
and only the Communiqué tips are sent out once a week. We trawl
through all the calls we receive and any hot topics so that you can
be kept fully informed, get the best out of your equipment and
provoke any thoughts we can to improve your business life.
We won't bombard you with special offers, geek speak or pressure selling. We're not sales
driven people, we want to show everyone that we know what we are talking about and
that we are experts who believe in long term relationships with our clients.
You can unsubscribe any time and If you're not sure about anything ring us.

Top ten mistakes businesses make
Everyone loves lists and we are no different. Here is a list copied from a recent report that
we could not help agreeing with, test yourself and see how you fare, by the way it's a bit
scary.
Slow systems
Why do systems slow down or appear slower than before? What can you do about it
without getting a new system.
Internet safety
Everyone bangs on about Internet safety but what are the real risks and do I really need to
protect myself? These questions are answered and tips on how to be safe and what does
trouble look like when it happens and how do I get out of it?
Backups
OK, you know you should do it but is it worth it, what are the risks and solutions. On line
backups and portable hard disks may seem and easy answer but they could be worse than
useless, save your self a load of unnecessary worry and get it right first time.
Disaster plans
Riots in UK 2011 - Would your business have survived if you were a victim, not only did
shops get hit but 70% of the businesses, some office based were independent private
businesses, only 10% will be running in a years time. You don't need to be the size of New
York to prepare a disaster plan.
Reliability
Computers are reliable, never go wrong, hmmm why do we always accept the phrase
computer error as normal them. What makes systems go wrong and why is it that you can
buy a famous brand like Sony or Hewlett Packard and have to bin it in just a few months
after purchase? For example Sony notebooks have an inherent problem which kills them
around 18 months after purchase!
E-mails
Spam, lost e-mail's, junk traps and how to make these magical things work for you and your
organisation. You would be surprised how e-mail's can get lost because exchange is not
set-up correctly.
Working remotely
Want to work away from the office, trip away or time out. Maybe you have a worker who is
off ill or who would rather work from home. There are a few ways to do this and we can tell
you the cheapest, easiest, best choice.
