Network support and consulting are more crucial for businesses than ever before because of the risks arising from the new norm of work.
Whether you are adopting a purely remote or purely office-based approach, or somewhere in between, the following network challenges are something you have to deal with:
The network risks you must address
Home environment issues.
Because of the shift to hybrid or remote work, businesses are facing remote workers’ issues primarily arising from their home environment. This includes issues with home modems, routers, and internet connectivity.
Home computers are also a majority contributor to network risks. These include out of support PCs like those running in Win7 and even XP! The following computers are highly-vulnerable to network risks:
- Out-of-date anti-virus software
- Missing critical patches
- Open ports
- Poorly-performing anti-virus
- No password policies: lacking or poor
- No screen lock-outs (risk of exposing the network to employees’ kids and family members)
Other issues
- Inefficient remote work capabilities
- Complicated VPN set up
- Uncontrolled home environments
- Lack of support for home users
- Internet and connectivity issues
Network solutions
1. Consultation, Assessment, and Reporting
Professionally-done. Our certified technicians will diagnose problems and optimize your network performance.
Vendor-neutral. Assessments are vendor-neutral and are solely based on your network’s requirements.
Quick and automated. We provide a quick assessment of all remote worker’s home computers and those discovered on the network. We use a system that assigns a specific risk score to each device and determines which devices need priority.
Scans. Perform external vulnerability scans and integrate with client risk and detailed reports. Other scans include: network, security, exchange, and SQL server scans, and HIPAA assessments.
Network Risk Report allows us to collect system data from devices, services, and software to identify security status. We can do it on-site or via a remote application. You will also receive an easy-to-understand report containing all the security problems and devices that need to be addressed. This report also contains risk scores which assign numeral values to discovered risks in your business system including password statuses, computer devices, and user activities.
The Network Management Plan presents the risks in your network, assigns them a score, ranks them by priority, and recommends the method in managing the risks.
Full Detail Report – The Full Detail Report shows everything that we found during the network assessment process. As technician, we will use this as a reference to address specific areas or aspects of the environment whenever needed.
2. Network Infrastructure
Network Management Plan. A report that ranks issues based on risk score and helps you decide on what issues to prioritize. This includes a list of all affected computers and recommended actions.
Installation. We provide innovative network solutions that include: LAN/WAN design, installation, and maintenance; cabling system installation and testing, structured cabling for computers, voice, and video systems, continuous power solutions, and more.

Benefits of Network Support
Tired of watching your networks perform poorly or fail all of a sudden? The problem, in most cases is the lack of network support services. Network support may seem expensive, but this perceived disadvantage is outweighed by advantages:
1. Peace of mind
2. Grow your business
3. Make more money
Network Support Features
On the surface, choosing IT network support may seem like a straightforward task. Simply find the company with a reputation for quality service, which must mean that their prices are a little higher than the rest. But this is not how it works.
Cheap service does not always equal quality service, and vice versa. To make sure you are choosing the best support for your needs and budget, here are some features to look for:
1. Remote and onsite support
Remote support allows the IT consultant to access your computer remotely via an internet connection, while onsite support means the technician will come out to your office location.
This ensures that no matter what the problem is, you will get fast and reliable technical support coverage.
2. Custom network setup
Well-designed network infrastructure is a core strategy of successful businesses. It ensures security, improves response time and overall performance of your enterprise. You’ll want to work with someone who can deploy, maintain and enhance network capabilities as needs change.
Your company is only as good as its ability to communicate and distribute information and data. Success is not a series of random experiments, but a well-planned system geared for business challenges.
3. Qualified Router and Firewall
Well-designed network infrastructure is a core strategy of successful businesses. It ensures security, improves response time and overall performance of your enterprise. You’ll want to work with someone who can deploy, maintain and enhance network capabilities as needs change.
Routers and firewalls are gateways to the internet. A small business with a few computers will be just as vulnerable as the biggest corporation in the world if it does not take security seriously.

The Anatomy of a Great IT Network
The anatomy of a great IT network is based on three things: (1) The technology; (2) The business model; (3) The culture. Overall, if you want to make a great IT network, you will need to give up some control. But if you give up control, you will need to take responsibility. The best networks are run by people who understand this paradox.
