Data Recovery

IF YOU HAVE LOST DATA ON THIS MACHINE, YOU SHOULD READ THE REST OF THIS PARAGRAPH ON DATA RECOVERY AND CALL US NOW (01563 537733), THEN SWITCH OFF YOUR PC. DO NOT SHUT DOWN ... JUST SWITCH OFF. THIS WILL IMPROVE THE CHANCES OF DATA RECOVERY.
The recycle bin only works for your own machine, and then only if you have sufficient disk space, and only if the file or folder you delete is small enough for your system to store in the recycle bin. It will not work over networks or removable disks. If you lose data you should contact us immediately to maximise the chances of a successful recovery. Unfortunately it is not always possible to determine how much data can be recovered, but we can usually get most, if not all of the file(s) and folder(s) back if you act quickly. If you have a failed or damaged hard disk it is often possible to get this done too. Our specialist labs can operate the disk under specialised conditions, replace some of the disk components or recover those parts of the disk that can be recovered and present the recovered data for you to examine and keep the parts you find useful. These services are not cheap but it is often better to attempt a recovery than to rebuild files from scratch, especially when the files contain important information.

Business Software

As well as developing our own software for business applications we can assess your needs and make recommendations on which software would be the most appropriate for your needs. We are experienced in the use of a wide range of general application software from the major manufacturers, as well as highly sophisticated software packages for business operations which can handle business internet connections, firewall protection, anti-virus protection, inter-office and internet e-mail, web server software, etc. etc. While we do not go out of our way to market software we can usually obtain a fair price for you, and should you prefer to purchase for yourself we are happy to install and configure software you have purchased elsewhere. We can also obtain software licenses for you rather than boxed product where appropriate, a process that can save from a few pound to several thousand depending on the size of your organisation.

We provide maintenance and repair services to a wide range of customers from both domestic and small business environments. We will advise on the best way forward when there are problems with a machine, whether to repair or replace and/or upgrade. We provide advice and have specialist skills in emergency data recovery where appropriate. If you have a problem give us a call on our office number or e-mail us using the contact form on this site with your address and phone number and we will be able to offer whatever help we think is appropriate.

Consultancy

We are happy to offer customers general support and advice over the telephone in order to maintain their IT systems and this is not usually charged to regular customers. Where there is a need to provide training, consultancy or in-depth advice on specific matters, we provide a range of levels of service from a simple report through to an in-depth analysis and, if desired, design and specification. Should the amount of support required become considerable, this can be built into a financial agreement where the time spent carrying out such support is logged and the customer may be charged on a monthly basis. When working with clients there is often a necessity for clients to disclose or allow access to sensitive data, operating methods or other information relating to the business of the client. Any advice, details of discussions, security details or other information of the types mentioned above always remain confidential.

Business and home networks

Network seems to be a buzzword for technological development. But there are times when it is appropriate to use a network and times when it is not. There are considerable benefits to networking which are not understood by everyone who uses or even installs them. If you have a network we can suggest ways of making your operations more efficient. Some examples of this might be adding resources to your network which can be made available for everyone to use if required, such as printers, data storage and backup, or give shared secure access to the internet, or build up an efficient inter-office communications system which allows both internal and external mail, internet and fax services. These are just some examples and you are welcome to call to discuss your own particular situation.
