Is your business technology-reliant?
At Computer Troubleshooters we recognize the critical role that computers, networks, and technology in general plays in
every small business. From email and word processing to online banking and e-commerce, every small business depends
on technology to maximize their productivity and their profitability. But what happens when your technology lets you
down? How much staff time is wasted dealing with slow computer or system crashes? How much of your time is spent
answering software questions for others in the office? And if your system crashes, how do you recover your data?
That’s why we created Business Enhanced Support Technology (B.E.S.T.), the industry’s leading support plan for small
businesses. For a flat monthly fee we do the following:
Small Businesses owners around the world have been raving about our
B.E.S.T. programs. The benefits they often cite are:
• Less Downtime.
• Higher Staff Productivity (less time wasted on computer problems, questions or vendors.)
• Being more Proactive versus Reactive with IT solutions.
• Predictable Expenses for Easy Budgeting (many services are covered in a flat monthly fee.)
• Peace of Mind knowing someone is working 24/7 to keep their systems running
smoothly, and will respond quickly if emergencies do arise.
• Reduced Costs compared to the old-fashioned “pay by the hour” approach.

” We are VERY happy with the service from Computer Troubleshooters - they respond in a very timely manner. Most of the time,
they can handle any problems remotely or they arrive within two hours of a phone call. The professionalism and promptness.
Repairs are completed correctly the first time and in a very timely manner. The cost of repairs is 75% less and the down time is
non-existent these days - much improved from the previous companies that we dealt with. I would absolutely recommend
Computer Troubleshooters! They complete repairs correctly the first time and are always available when we need them.
It’s something no business owner wants to think about: What would happen if tomorrow all your data were gone? All
your client records, emails, documents, accounting files, artwork, and HR files –gone? History tells us that almost half
(43%) of business who suffer 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 critical files.
Fortunately Computer Troubleshooters has easy Backup & Disaster Recovery solutions for businesses of all sizes. Our
available solutions range from simple, low-cost online backup options up to our Ultimate BDR solution which includes:
Data loss is more than frustrating – for a small business it can be a crippling or even fatal event. Computer

Computer Troubleshooter for a fast estimate today!

HaaS

Hardware-as-a-Service
What if, instead of paying up front for new computers and software and then worrying about when to upgrade them in
the future, 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, which is often less than you’d pay if purchasing them yourself.
For more information and to see if a HaaS solution is right for you, contact your
Computer Troubleshooter today!
HaaS Example:
” We are very satisfied with the easy to understand advice we get from Raymond and his team, the excellent prompt service,
can do attitude and also the value for money provided in both products and also charged hourly rates for what is done. Also - the
referal to a HK based computer troubleshooter when I had an issue when i was away. Less frustration, good security in terms of
know backups all done and all systems in good shape for busy times.

Does your business have an internet presence?
An effective internet presence is a must-have for any small business today. More and more customers are using web
searches when they previously might have used yellow pages or other traditional sources, so a small business who
doesn’t appear at or near the top of relevant web searches is going to miss out on potential business.
Your local Computer Troubleshooters office partners with small business website gurus around the country and around
the world to make sure you get the right website for your business – at the right price!
Having a website, and even getting people to view your website, is not the goal: getting people to BUY from your
website is what you really want. So we work with website designers who know how to create content that is compelling
and informative for your website visitors, and thus more likely to facilitate sales. A “sale” might mean an actual purchase
from your website, or a phone call or email from a prospect who wants to hire your firm based on the information they
received from your site.
Our team of professional web designers are ready and able to solve your web issues. We have the expertise and
experience to provide you with the perfect solution at an affordable cost. Visit www.ctdesignteam.com to view our
design portfolio and see what we have done to help a wide range of business and organizations.

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
SaaS is just a fancy way to talk about software on-demand. Many applications, including customer databases, Exchange
& general email, SharePoint collaboration tools, Blackberry services, and web meeting software just to name a few, can
be easily hosted elsewhere and accessed via the internet. This means you can access them from any web-enabled PC
and you don’t have to worry about maintaining your own servers or backing up your data – the host provider takes care of
that for you.
• Share projects, tasks, calendars, and documents with with Sharepoint or Webex Web Office.
• Implement enterprise-class email with calendars and synchronization abilities through Hosted
Microsoft Exchange.
• “Push” Email to your Blackberry, Windows Mobile cell phone, or iPhone with Hosted Exchange,
Blackberry, or Goodlink mail services.
• Conduct online meetings with employees or customers using Web Conferencing.
• Protect your Email and Network from Viruses, Spyware, Phishing, and more using Hosted Email
Filtering & DNS Filtering.
• Archive past emails for backup or regulatory purposes using Hosted Email Archiving.
• Backup all the critical data on your servers and individual PC’s using Online Backup & Hybrid Backup solutions.
• Give employees access to their PC from any internet-connected PC using our Remote Access solutions.
• Access hosted solutions for Word Processing, Spreadsheets, Database, & CRM solutions using our
Hosted Office solutions.
• Save $$ on software licensing with Hosted Virtual Desktops.
• Reduce costs and management overhead with Hosted Virtual Servers.
Pricing for SaaS solutions varies but is generally priced at an amount per month per user, so you can easily scale up or
scale down as needed. Ask your Computer Troubleshooter for more information about any of these SaaS solutions.
” I am happy with the services provided by Computer Troubleshooter William Pickett. Not only is he professional, careful and
diligent in his work, he is untiring in his efforts (successful) to ensure that not only is the programming on the computer working
properly but that the client is satisfied. Unlike many in his profession he explains his work so that an intelligent, non-computer-
specialist can understand and does so in a manner that does not seem either condescending or patronizing. I would recommend
you to others and have done so.

Still filing the old fashioned way, with bulky filing cabinets and a myriad of folders and labels? Ever have to search the

Purchasing new computers and hardware is easy, every retailer will sell you whatever they have in
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 specifi cations 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.
In putting together a network solution, upgrade or a simple hardware addition we can help in
recommending the solution, quote on purchasing (if required) and integrating. This includes migrating
data from an old computer/server to new hardware.
