Maintaining your IT systems to optimise performance

Computers are a bit like cars. If you don't take care of them, they can break down when you least expect it...or need it!


IT systems can become sluggish and clogged due to the constant installation of programs, email growth, data expansion, aged user accounts, event logs, internet browsing and general day to day use.


Similar to an MOT, it is important to arrange a routine inspection and service for all servers, computers and infrastructure equipment to help prevent unexpected system crashes and to optimise performance.


Talk to us today about getting your IT Systems serviced regularly.

Business IT Support and System Maintenance

In order for Grant McGregor to fully support and maintain your computer system we need to perform a thorough audit on your network. This will confirm and highlight any problem areas.

We will then produce a straightforward report which outlines issues detected along with our recommendations for resolving and/or improving them.

 

See Supporting You for information about day to day support and ad hoc maintenance.


Hardware assessment

Our IT support team will firstly audit and assess the configuration and performance of your company servers, each PC/Laptop/Mac, networking hardware and all your printers.


Email audit

Grant McGregor will then:


  • Assess the configuration and performance of the Exchange email server
  • Audit and confirm anti-spam and anti-malware measures on the Exchange email server
  • Audit and confirm the email domain record
  • Discuss requirements and solutions for web-based email for key staff and/or mobile email to mobile smartphone devices (iPhone, Smartphones etc).

Internet assessment

We will also examine your business internet. This involves:


  • Auditing the configuration and performance of the broadband connection including routing and failover
  • Examining anti-malware protection measures for safe browsing
  • Looking at Firewall measures for protection from vulnerabilities and everyday attacks
  • Discussing potential requirements and solutions for web filtering of web-browsing to prevent staff from browsing inappropriate or dangerous (e.g. phishing) websites.

Back-Up/Disaster Recovery

Lastly we will take a look at your company's existing back up procedures, examining success, schedule and speed of back-up. Most importantly, we can assess how this process fits into broader disaster recovery plans and how well it works in reality.

Back-up is only of any utility to you if it works, is tested and can be restored quickly to recover a file or the whole server. We will then discuss potential improvements and solutions for back-up of company data and disaster recovery.
