Keeping your computers up to date can be a daunting task

Whether you want to add more memory, a new storage system, network card, graphics card, a new motherboard or a complete computer system, Grafixation can help you.

Internet requirements can vary widely, from spending a few minutes on-line each day to staying connected 24/7. Obviously, paying an hourly rate would be a costly way of doing the latter, and using an expensive high-speed connection would be inappropriate for moderate usage. We can suggest the best ISP for your needs, and help you to set up your system so that it operates smoothly and cost-effectively.

We can also recommend other important Internet software such as virus protection, and tailor it to your needs. We don't benefit directly by suggesting a particular piece of software to you. Our aim will always be to provide you with a functional, suitable, secure Internet connection at the right price.

Networking

Network your local PCs to share resources such as printers and file sharing, keeping your records synchronised so that everyone in your office has access to the same current details. Of course, it might not be suitable to share certain files, in which case they can be kept private and secure. We can even store your data on a particular PC, effectively providing a "server" to your company and users without the expense of a fully-fledged server installation. We tailor your network to meet your needs.

Once networked, you can take advantage of the same resource to share your Broadband connectivity. No need for individual connections, the same one can be used for multiple PCs, each sharing the available capacity.

Whichever you choose, once a server role is in place we can offer our remote diagnostic service, where we are able to carry out most system updates or testing without the need to visit your premises. This includes such tasks as adding new users, defining email settings, checking that your system software is up to date, and other general maintenance. Benefits include speed of response and lower charges.

Site visits would, of course, be needed for hardware upgrades and repairs, but the remote diagnostic would help in identifying the area of work required, thus reducing the time spent on-site.

We will survey your site and agree locations, set a timetable that is suitable to you, install to your satisfaction and leave the system in full working order. We are quite happy to work during the hours that your computers aren't needed, minimising disruption to your business.

We offer a multitude of services but all interrelate to each other and can be taken one at a time or as a whole package, the choice is yours. No "fixed" deals; just the service and support that you want.

Share the office load

By networking your computers to share resources such as printers and common files you can reduce your capital costs - not everyone needs their own printer or scanner. Also, keeping your records synchronised so that everyone in your office has access to the same current details helps to prevent those mistakes where changes are made on one PC but not passed on to others.

Networking provides a simple and logical method of sharing all kinds of data amongst those who need it, together with the capacity to limit access to sensitive information.

At Grafixation, we resolve a large number of software-related issues via remote diagnostics, however site visits would be needed for hardware upgrades and repairs identified from this service.

Broadband together?

Once networked, you can take advantage of the same resource to share your Broadband connectivity. No need for individual connections, the same one can be used for multiple PCs, each sharing the available capacity.

Internet requirements can vary widely, from spending a few minutes each day collecting your e-mail to transferring large files on a regular basis. We can suggest the best Internet Service Provider for your needs, and help you to set up your system so that it operates smoothly and cost-effectively.
