Hardware Repairs & Software Support
In most cases, this is either a work station or server. Blue screens and lockups are not always hardware problems. Operating Systems can be corrupted which give similar problems as if it were a failing hard drive.
If your systems are over 3 years old then they may be in need of some attention.

All hardware will fail at some point! Business continuity is ever more important to preserve employee productivity. This is why it is best to monitor the machines and perform regular drive and fan replacement at the 2.5 year threshold. Dusting out the cooling fans is something that can't be overlooked. As overheating is the number one cause of hardware failure.
Some times things just get tangled up and you need help to sort things out.
Keeping machines in tip-top shape saves money - it increases staff productivity!
I recommend a spare machine in every business environment - especially if there is just one or two staff members.

Networking - Routers, VPN, Security
This is often overlooked after installation. Leaving the systems vulnerable to cyber attacks. With increasing internet services coming onboard, it is an issue to be addressed.

I will update routers, validate VPNs, check over switching and check load balancing and continuity.

Data Backups
Backups are needed to recover files and databases. Cherry pick one file to restore from months ago or whole set of data after a disaster.
Disaster preparation is vital, because nobody ever says "I wish I never had multiple backups of my ONE OF A KIND DATA!"
Can you honestly ask yourself, "Am I reasonably confident that I can recover nearly all, if not all my data after a crash or disaster?"

3.2.1. Rule
There is no excuse for not having a minimum of 3 sets of your data on 2 different mediums, and one of those sets being offsite.
Without your data, how do you move on? Business Continuity comes to a grinding halt. Sure it costs money, but data is your business. It's worth every penny to be able to access multiple copies of your data!
It's just 'Smart Business'.

It's not you, they are complex machines and for no reason it seems they just revolt and stop functioning correctly. Before you take a hammer to it, give me a call.
Data Recovery
Not everyone has good backups before they come to me. Many times the computer is dead, or the drive is corrupted.

Every situation is different and requires different tools and different amounts of time to recover data, photos, and videos. Please call to discuss your issues!
Cyber Defense
About 60 % of Small Companies close within 6 months of a data breach. Data loss and confidential data being exposed, can be devastating to the wellbeing of a business.
Hackers either want to steal your identity or encrypt your data files (including backups) to hold at ransom.
Human error remains the highest cause of successful phishing attacks worldwide, as 97% of users fail to identify phishing emails. (Security Affairs)
47% of Business Owners never give a thought to a Cyber Defense plan.
Can you name the 4 gateways that hackers use to exploit your systems?
The median small business received 94% of its detected malware by email. Just because it was detected doesn't mean it was stopped!
Cybersecurity statistics indicate that there are 2,200 cyber attacks per day, with a cyber attack happening every 39 seconds on average. The cost for United States businesses will be in the Tens of Billions in 2023. World wide it's expected to be near 8 Trillion US dollars.

How to Defend
Password Management
This may not be high on your priority list because you have a clever password you use everywhere. Hackers look for the low hanging fruit, like a service you subscribe to. When they get all that info, then they start checking it against other lists. Eventually they have enough info to build a profile and go after the "Pay Day".

First, your login to your machine should always be different from all your other passwords. In a network environment it should be changed several times a year.
Second you definitely need business passwords separate from personnel passwords. Money related passwords should be separated from both. Some folks even need to separate investing from banking.
The bottom line you need a plan that you can follow and clear secure method of recovery.
