Service on Demand
Does your business need reactive support?
Keeping your business in business is our business. Service on demand is our most flexible service
offering, simply call us whenever you need us for services such as:
On demand services are available to small business and home office customers without a service
contract at an hourly rate (or fixed-fee pricing for carry-in and some special services).
We recommend to optimise your businesses IT network performance that you form an ongoing
relationship with your local Computer Troubleshooter, effectively making them your IT department.
Business information is often one of a business’ main assets, yet the risk of data loss through a
catastrophic incident, corruption or theft may threaten the ability of your business to survive.
It’s something that no business owner wants to think about. What would happen if tomorrow all your
information was gone? All of your client records, emails, financial records, documents, artwork and
HR files totally destroyed, gone? History tells us that almost half (43%) of all businesses who suffer a
catastrophic data loss will never reopen and even more will be out of business within a year.
Small businesses are among the most vulnerable because too-often they lack full-time IT support,
which means backups may not be running, or may not be backing up all of your critical files.
Fortunately Computer Troubleshooters has easy Backup and Disaster Recovery (BDR) solutions
ranging from simple, low-cost online backup options up to our fully managed BDR solution.
On-site scheduled backup – Data backup to a local storage device at scheduled intervals.
Near-real-time backup – Data backup to a local BDR server device. In the event of a server failure
the BDR device is able to be mounted on the network, enabling your users to carry on working
whilst your server is being recovered.
Secure offsite remote storage – All backup images are securely transmitted to remote servers for
maximum safety and protection from localised catastrophic disasters.
Data restoration – Local restoration from the on-site BDR server or backup file is generally quick
and relatively painless if the correct procedures have been followed.
Managed backup – The ultimate BDR solution is monitored 24/7 by our network operations center,
and in the case of any problems or issues the local Troubleshooter is immediately alerted.
Can you rebuild a server in minutes and never lose more than 15 minutes off ddata?

Anti-virus software is no longer enough. Every business needs a Security Strategy to protect their
valuable information and integrity of their computer systems. Computer Troubleshooters can design
a solution based specifically on your businesses requirements.
A recent survey revealed while 76% of users thought they had internet protection only 42% actually did!
Increasingly business customers are also focused on employee productivity with the rise of social
networking sites, instant messaging and gaming. Internet bandwidth management has become
increasingly important as data transfers of music and movies grow exponentially, with business
expected to carry the cost of employee downloads. If you have an escalating internet bill this may be
why. This is when you need a Trusted IT Advisor to find a solution.
Firewalls – Either a hardware or internet based firewall is the first line of defence around your
network to prevent others accessing your network.
Malware protection – Today’s security software must include protection against viruses, spyware
and malware. It is essential that this software is managed, updated and functioning properly.
Content filtering – Block internet site types or the times they can be accessed and apply restrictions
to individual staff members.
Internet bandwidth management – Profiles can be set to prevent applications (such as iTunes)
being loaded on machines and individual usage can be tracked to websites accessed and
bandwidth used.
Spam protection – Capture and destroy unsolicited email (spam) before it reaches your computer.
Virtual private networks (VPN) – Allow secure access to your computer network from any location.
SECURE at work.

stock or on special. How do you know what is best for your business? At Computer Troubleshooters our
business is managing IT networks and ongoing computer performance, we don’t derive the majority
of our income from hardware sales. We can help design the right specifications for your needs on a
holistic basis. If you purchase the hardware we will integrate it into your network.
Too often we are brought in after the event to help setup and integrate hardware that is inappropriate
or incompatible with the existing IT network. We see prevention as far better than cure.

archived files.

speeds and toner costs. We can recommend a solution that takes into account business needs as
well as both upfront and ongoing costs.

communicate with your staff, your customers and the outside world? Internet and email access has
changed vastly in the last few years with increased wireless and smartphone usability combined with
massive improvements in data speeds and allowances.
Now that the unbundling of Telecoms copper has become a reality, new services and options are
becoming available and already pricing is becoming more competitive.
Have you reviewed your teleco bills from your current provider in the last 2 years? If you haven’t you

B.E.S.T. Program
Is your business technology-reliant?
If IT plays a critical role in your business to the point where you lose business operations or continuity
if your computer or networks fail, you need to consider a more proactive approach to your IT
management to reduce the risk of business losses.
What really happens when your technology lets you down? How much staff time is wasted dealing
with slow computers or system crashes? And if your system crashes, how do you recover your data?
If you don’t know these answers you need a Trusted IT Advisor.
That’s why we created Business Enhanced Support Technology (B.E.S.T.), the industry’s leading
support plan for small businesses.
Support and maintenance – We handle any computer, network or server problem (including
Windows, virus and spyware problems) via remote support or on-site.
Proactive system monitoring - Constant monitoring of your technology’s “Vital statistics” alerting
us to any early warning signs of impending problems.
Remote access - Secure remote access, enabling our team to see the problem from our office,
allowing us to provide faster diagnosis and resolution times.
Backup monitoring - We check your backups to ensure your information can be restored safely.

and security software.

Hardware & Software-as-a-Service
Does your business need flexibility to grow?
Many businesses are finding benefits in not “owning” their hardware and remotely accessing software
applications. Through a licensing agreement from a large provider they can experience scalability,
flexibility and ease of setup. The applications themselves are “hosted” in secure data rooms accessed
by staff through an internet connection. Access to servers can also be rented saving on setup,
maintenance, security and facility rooms cost.
Hardware-as-a-Service (HaaS)
Instead of paying up front for new computers and software, you could just pay a simple monthly fee
to “rent” the technology you need, as you need it. With a HaaS solution all your technology expenses
– hardware, software, maintenance and support – can be rolled into one easy monthly payment.
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
SaaS also known as software on-demand. Many applications, including customer CRM databases,
email, collaboration tools, Blackberry services and web meeting software can be accessed via the
internet with licenses paid for as you need them.
Solutions include:
Microsoft exchange email - Implement enterprise-class email with calendars, sharing, delegation
and synchronisation abilities.
Hosted office - Access hosted solutions for word processing, spreadsheets, database and
CRM solutions.
Google apps - The newest suit of office products from Google charged by the month per user.
Hosted Blackberry - Hosted Blackberry enterprise server with full corporate capabilities.
Hosted email archiving - Storage of historic emails for backup or regulatory purposes.
Cloud based email protection
and spam removal
No software or hardware to
purchase or install
Our clients liked our BEST business plans so much that they asked
for something similar to manage their home computers, so we
created H.O.S.T. (Home and Office Support Technology). Based on
similar technology as BEST, our inexpensive HOST plans give you
peace of mind without breaking your wallet.
H.O.S.T warns us of potential problems.
H.O.S.T ensures safe patch updates.
H.O.S.T protects against virus and Spyware.
H.O.S.T securely backs up your data.
H.O.S.T speeds up your computer with regular maintainance tasks.
