Here's a quick way to solve all your computer troubles...

Have you ever been so frustrated with your computer that you felt you could just thump your fists on your keyboard and smash the screen?

When your computer works like it's supposed to, you know it's a great invention. When it starts playing up – for no reason you can reasonably see – you wonder what this blasted lump of metal and plastic is doing in your life!

Have you ever had a day where...

• you're working on a deadline and all of a sudden the computer freezes and won't start again?
• Or you can't download that very important e-mail you're waiting anxiously for?
• Or your network connection just won't connect and and you're blocked from all the documents and tasks you urgently need to work on?
• Or your computer just gets slower and slower – and yet your antivirus scan shows no problems?
  

Do you also wiggle the cords and click around a bit looking for something obvious – while trying not to throw the stapler at the person at the next desk who keeps telling you “But it worked fine yesterday!” ? Does your heart rate also start racing at the time you're wasting on this, time that you need to be spending on income-generating work?

But despite your best efforts, the computer still doesn't work. So what do you do?

After struggling with a “funny computer” for a couple of hours, most small (by now grumpy) business owners turn to the Yellow Pages to start their desperate search for a computer guy who can help them. The first chap doesn't answer, the second sounds like he's still in high school and the third guy might be able to get to you tomorrow sometime. Sound familiar?

Don't feel alone though – independent research done by Dynamic Markets (commissioned by Veritas Software) showed that 84% of South African companies suffer unplanned computer downtime.

Do you know that computer downtime can be crippling for a business?

How many man hours are lost – and how much business then gets done by a competitor? A computer that isn't working properly can mean that

• you can't access your Point of Sales System and so can't take payments,
• can't access your Contact Manager and so can't contact customers or suppliers,
• can't access your Customer Service System and so can't get to account info or can't access your Production File Server and so can't use shared files and printers.

We can help you!
