TechHours are designed to provide a vast array of hardware and software service, support for network and peripheral systems, network management support and other IT support services. Small businesses or individuals with multiple computers may receive a discounted rate by contracting service hours. By prepaying for a specific number of hours per month to perform scheduled preventative maintenance or network management. These plans provide versatility to support computers of varying degrees of fitness or unique configurations.

How many hours?
A minimum of one hour per workstation per month should be allocated to adequately perform preventative maintenance for a small business network. Additional hours may be required for work outside the network (website, email, purchasing assistance, specialized training, etc.) and perhaps initially to establish a base of support.

Preventive Maintenance
Given adequate hours through monthly, system-wide diagnostics, we will identify and replace hardware components that are either failing or performing outside optimal parameters. We remove software clutter that accumulates in workstations that can often lead to instability and data contamination. We evaluate the operating system and peripheral applications running on each system to ensure necessary upgrades and updates are installed when appropriate. We actively manage your network and peripheral systems, including verifying the regular back-up of critical data and changing back-up media, establishing access criteria, monitoring system security (including users and user passwords), scheduling back-up recovery drills, and verifying active virus protection.
