Server & PC Design
When you invest your hard earned money in a computer system, as a business you want it to provide you with a return. By that we mean it needs to enable your employees to be more productive.
The purpose of having computers in the first place is to allow you to do things that were previously impossible and to speed up processes that used to take a long time.
With every business having different requirements of their computers, in order for your system to best meet your requirements, it needs to be designed with you in mind.
We don’t mean large and expensive projects creating bespoke packages which will be complicated to support and costly to maintain, we mean a well-selected mixture of commonly used technologies, put together in just the right way to suit your individual needs.
At First Stop IT we have decades of experience working with businesses across all sectors designing network, server & desktop solutions to help them reach their goals.
A few examples;
In today’s world these design range from all cloud solutions to all premise solutions to hybrid solutions. A few years ago the thought of putting your business emails in the cloud would have been considered risky with issues like what if the supplier goes broke what if the server goes down and we lose all our email, etc.. Well know Microsoft themselves look after businesses emails and offer great options for business to host their emails if required. Other times the company’s Line of Business (LOB) applications may require local access to the email server so cloud email may not be the best option. When we look at a clients solutions options we look at the features that will work and improve their business not just the items that have the best margin on them.
