Special Arrangements for Businesses

The best way to keep your computer problem free is through preventative maintenance. We offer custom maintenance agreements, which will allow you to provide for preventative maintenance, as well as budget the costs of your computer services.

Although the specifics of the agreement will depend on your particular needs,when Computer Doctor enters into agreements, we typically visit your offices at least monthly to do things like the following:

Check your computers' virus protection as well as scan for any undetected viruses
Tune Up Your PC's to make sure they are operating in the most efficient manner
Apply updates and bug fixes to your Windows machines and servers
Verify that your data is being backed up regularly and test the latest backup to be sure it actually contains your data
Clean Your Computers, including internal parts, which can cause overheating
Listen to your machines for any sounds of impending drive failure

Additionally, agreements normally contain a negotiated number of hours that are included per month in the maintenance fee to deal with problems that may still aris. Also, hours in addition to the number negotiated per month are offered at a discounted rate.

Remember, each maintenance agreement is customized for the needs of the client, so we have plans to fit a variety of budgets.

Think You Can't Afford a Maintenance Agreement? You Can't Afford NOT to Have One.

Whether your business is large or small, your computer system is likely the lifeline of that business. Yes, your skills and those of your employees are paramount, but wouldn't your business grind to a halt if your computer system did?

Home users may have the luxury of using the computers until it quits, but doing so in a business is taking a mighty big chance with your finances. That's why we at Computer Doctor offer special programs for businesses, each tailored to your specific needs. You can read more about the specifics to the left. Here, though, I want to say a few words about why you cannot afford to go without a maintenance agreement.

First, the agreement will likely be priced lower than you would expect. But there are some more practical reasons.

If you are operating a business without anyone "on retainer," you are running a risk that no one--or no one competent, anyway--will be available when your computer problem occurs. And remember, it isn't a question of if you will have a problem: it is a matter of when and of how severe

Also, I cannot stress to you enough the savings involved in preventative maintenance. Whatever side of the healthcare debate you are on, in that arena too, we hear that all sides agree that if more was done to prevent disease, healthcare costs would go down. The same is true of the health of your computer system.

This is one case where the money involved is not just a cost, but an investment. I'm sure you have disaster insurance. A maintenance agreement is insurance in case of computer disaster.

Are You Backing Up?
Many people think that since they do not have large businesses they do not need to back up. However, hard drive failure is much more common that you would think. Even if you are just a home user, imagine what you would feel like if all that digital pictures of your newborn were lost? If you're not sure how to back up, just give Computer Doctor a call and we can set you up with a strategy for backing up with minimal effort and cost.

Is Your Virus Protection Current?
By far, the number one problem we see with computers is an expired or unreliable virus protection software, leading to massive virus and spyware infections. At Computer Doctor, we are experts at disinfecting computers, but we also can help you find the right Internet security package for you.
