We build a relationship with you and get to know your ‘IT estate’. We are always on the end of the phone and happy to help if you have any queries.
We also provide ad-hoc support for IT emergencies or one-off pieces of work, mainly for domestic clients but also for some businesses.
Laptop and Desktop
Maintenance & Repairs
A quick clean up or repair with ongoing maintenance can make all the difference to a slow PC or laptop.
Windows Server Support
Some businesses have their own onsite servers to manage the data they process or systems they use to run their business. These need to be monitored and managed to ensure they continue to run efficiently and securely. On occasion they can fail, and you’ll need support to get them back up. The Computer People has a comprehensive Windows Server Support package. If the time is right for you to move to Cloud based servers, we will give you guidance and support to make the move a success.
Offsite Backup &
Disaster Recovery
Where are all your business files held? What about your personal family photos? How is your business data, documentation, personal files protected from loss? Do you have it stored to your desktop, or is it in a cloud-based solution like Microsoft 365 or GSuite? Maybe it’s on an external hard drive or a data stick in a drawer next to your PC or laptop. Either way, what happens when there is a fire or flood, or theft? Or what if you delete something from your Microsoft or Google account?
The Computer People can provide a safe back-up solution for you allowing recovery of files that have been lost or stolen.
We use cloud-based servers to back up your crucial business documentation or personal files. Our back up and disaster recovery service includes:
- Provision, maintenance and testing of all off site backup and restore functions.
- Recovery of files and data following catastrophic hardware & software failures.
Virus removal and protection
Is your computer running slowly? Do you get lots of pop-ups or adverts when you’re surfing the internet? Maybe you’ve received an email holding your data to ransom? The chances are, that it’s a computer virus or some form of malware. But don’t panic! We can remove 99% of current viruses and malware software within 12 hours. The Computer People provide SentinelOne endpoint security the best virus protection for your PC or Mac.
Email system support
For home users email services are pretty straightforward. Simply register to a service like Google, Microsoft 365 (Outlook), or use the email supplied by your broadband provider perhaps. But for business, email set up and management can be quite complex, especially if you have a team of employees. For new businesses who may have set themselves up using something like Gmail or Outlook, well, you need that extra credibility using an email address that belongs to your business – not BTinternet, Hotmail or Google for example.
The Computer People can set up, manage and maintain your email systems, making your business run smoothly and professionally. It’s all down to something called DNS…
Remote monitoring and management
The Computer People will actively check and monitor your IT estate, whether that’s one machine or 200. Both 24-hour and 15-minute checks are carried out to ensure optimum performance and the anti-virus system is monitored to ensure it is running and up to date.
Training
The Computer People deliver ad-hoc, on demand training but we are looking to expand this service as it becomes increasingly popular. We are looking to use nearby spaces to deliver training and plans are underway to develop this service. Watch this space!
Training support is available for:
- Email – attaching files, signatures, out of office
- LibreOffice, Open Office and Microsoft Office
- Setting up document templates
- Developing and using databases
- Hardware set-up and use
- Bespoke training packages on all types of hardware and software
Microsoft 365
The Computer People provide advice and support for Microsoft 365, a cloud-based Microsoft solution that can be purchased for either corporate or domestic use. Whether you need support in making it work effectively for your business, or whether you want help sharing it on devices in the home, we can help.
Networking
A good network and W-Fi solution is crucial for home and office. We help our corporate clients run efficiently and securely, providing all types of network services allowing connectivity between systems and devices on site as well as supporting remote working – all with high level network security in place.
For domestic clients, whether you are using broadband and Wi-Fi to work from home, or simply to connect your multitude of online devices like TVs, games consoles and tablets, there’s nothing worse than not being able to do what you need to do, keep the kids quiet, or enjoy Season 2 of Ozarks (or whatever takes your fancy) on Netflix.
Sales
A brand-new PC or laptop is an expensive purchase and they only seem to be getting more expensive. Not only that, purchasing the right one can be a minefield. There is such a wide variety for different needs: business, basic home use, hobbyist use (yes, you might need a better spec machine if you are using the latest photography software for example), schoolwork, gaming… We could go on – the list is endless, and if you buy a computer that doesn’t meet the needs of your tasks, you will have wasted your hard-earned cash.
Our machines are predominantly business grade and are built to last. We will talk to you about your needs and make sure the computer or laptop you purchase from us meets your requirements.
Contact us for a good deal on a wide range of brands including HP, Dell and Apple and we have all types of devices: desktops, laptops, all in ones, Mac, and iMac.
