DESKTOP / LAPTOP MAINTENANCE COVERAGE

Desktops and laptop machines are used all day, every day and most small organizations do very little to proactively maintain them. At the same time employee productivity can be seriously affected if a desktop is not available to them, which ends up costing the firm money and lost productivity. We will carry out the following preventative measures to help keep your desktops in good working order:

• Patch management& deployment

• Anti-Virus signature check

• Spyware detection and removal

• Temporary file deletion Disk space/utilization check

 In addition, if you have any machines that are more critical than the main stream and you need them to receive the same monitoring as a server which provides us the ability to respond if they become inaccessible.  

Hardware & Software Inventory Management for Desktops & Laptops

Keeping track of hardware and software is an important part of managing your IT. It can help you plan and budget as well as help to ensure that you are in compliance with all of your software licensing. If you don’t have the tools in place to automatically track these things it can be a lot of work to compile this information. We can track all of your desktop hardware and software in real time and produce a report for you on a scheduled basis or at a moment’s notice if you need it.
