For start-up companies, often one of the biggest areas of concern can be finding the right business IT support to meet the needs of your growing organisation. With a limited number of full-time staff, many firms choose to employ the services of a third party consultancy.

When considering business IT support companies, it is important that you assess not only the level of expertise in their initial advice, but also how much time and effort they will put into assisting you once those systems are in place.

There are three main ways that consultancies can offer IT support, all of which you should bear in mind when investigating their services. The first of these is phone support: you must be sure that whatever time of day something goes wrong with your technology system, someone will be on hand immediately to offer diagnoses and possible solutions if applicable.

The second form of business IT support that a reputable third party firm should offer is e-support. This is the ability of them to fix problems with your computer systems remotely i.e. from their office, so they do not have to come out to your building in order to rectify the issue.

Finally, in the event of a major disaster or a need for in-depth training, your consultancy of choice should be able to pay you a site visit.

At Medhurst IT, we offer all of the above services to help you maintain and develop your technology systems as your company continues its path of growth and development.

For new and developing small businesses, often one of the first major technology related problems you will encounter, is choosing which computers to purchase in order to run your company.

If you do not feel confident with choosing the correct hardware for your company, an external business IT support firm can offer expert advice on which computers to choose, in order to best suit the nature and purpose of your firm.

For office-based employees, a desktop workstation is the obvious solution, and there is a range of products including space saving mini-towers with a smart and innovative appearance. However, if your job involves a great deal of travel, or you are based at more than one location – perhaps even working from home part of the time – then a laptop could offer you the greatest flexibility to carry all your necessary documentation and files between sites.

At Medhurst IT, we have a strong working relationship with Hewlett Packard (HP) and can recommend several of the products within their line for your business needs.  HP produces a range of desktop PCs and laptops, which are stable and dependable with a professional appearance.

Our business IT support staff have extensive experience with advising a range of companies on the best hardware for their business, so we can help you to find the most effective and convenient solution.

With centres in Cheshire and Hampshire, we can offer IT support in Chester, Manchester, Liverpool, Southampton and other key local areas both remotely and in person on a project or ongoing basis.
