Whether it is your personal or office email address, one of the most frustrating things about e-communication can be ‘spam’ emails that are trying to sell you unwanted products. These scam emails can also have a detrimental effect on your computer, as often they contain viruses or can lead to your email address sending out further spams.
For businesses, one way of trying to ensure against unwanted emails is to include a Secure Mail Gateway (SMG) as part of your business IT support.
An SMG delivers emails via a data centre rather than straight to your computer, which allows the message to be detected for viruses before being sent to your company server. It can even be used to scan outbound email.
It is also a cost-effective business IT support system because all you need to do is pay a license fee – if you employ a third party to look after your technology needs then you’ll need no more hardware or software installing, and that company will take care of the maintenance of your Secure Mail Gateway.
At Medhurst IT, we can build SMG into your business IT support package in order to significantly reduce the amount of spam you are likely to receive. We will handle the ongoing running of the service and install regular updates to ensure you have the most efficient version of the gateway. We can also offer you several options on what happens to this junk mail – it can be deleted immediately or you can receive it with a tag. We can offer business IT support from Southampton to Manchester and other areas of England.

In the modern working world, flexibility is the key when it comes to computer solutions. With technological remote capabilities, it is possible for employees to remotely access emails, documents and programmes from a number of different locations.
Particularly for start up businesses, having the business IT support to establish a convenient remote access network can prove vitally important to the early success of your company. Many new firms do not have a central office, with employees either working from home or from varying locations in order to avoid incurring the cost of a permanent workplace.
As minimising staff costs is also extremely important, one economically sensible solution can be to employ an external company to provide business IT support for your start-up company.
For instance, at Medhurst IT, we can advise on flexible technology solutions for your individual company. This can encompass everything from being able to access files on different computers, to the optimum laptop for the travelling businessman, or home PCs for the new venture you’re starting up in your bedroom.
As your company develops and expands, we can also maintain and develop your business IT support to meet the changing needs of your firm and therefore maximise transactions and potential profits so that your technology aids, and does not impede, your ability to conduct business.
Plus, with bases in Cheshire and Hampshire, we can also offer on-site IT support in Chester, Manchester, Southampton and a number of other major cities in key areas of the UK.

If you are a new and growing business, it is more than likely that your company’s technology needs will change and develop as the firm gathers strength and attains new customers or clients.
In order to make sure that your channels of communication operate at their maximum capacity and your documentation is stored safely and securely, it is important that you seek specialist business IT support. An external consultancy can advise on the best software, hardware and internet systems for your company and implement this technology at a significantly lower cost than hiring a full-time member of IT staff.
One thing that a consultancy can also do is assist with the migration of your documentation from your old system to the new. Even if you are confident with coping with your own business IT support on a daily basis, a consultancy can be hired on a project basis to oversee the change.
At Medhurst IT, we will devise a detailed, personalised plan for the changeover of your technology system at work. By understanding the motivation behind your new technology choice and by taking detailed notes on the system, we will ensure a smooth migration over to your new server or software with our professional business IT support services.
We can also advise on long term upgrade strategies, so that you can improve other channels of communication such as phone systems or remote email access within your business to complement your new documentation or technology system. By improving your business IT support you can speed up virtual transactions and ultimately improve the productivity of your company.

There are two main points to consider when looking for business IT support.
The first is finding a service that can set you up with the correct software, communication systems and maintenance for your technological products. The second is finding a consultancy that can implement business IT support in the event of a problem. Internet downtime can be extremely costly to a company as it renders you unable to carry out transactions via email or your firm’s website, and if you access documentation remotely you can be prevented from using important files.
In addition to online accessibility problems, it can also be devastating if your computer system crashes and you lose important work or records. If you choose to use an external business IT support provider rather than an in-house IT department, it is important to discuss a comprehensive disaster recovery programme to limit damage to your company documents if this should happen.
At Medhurst IT, our team of technical experts can advise on a strategy for recovering documents and restoring connectivity before you are faced with the problem, in order to limit the time you are unable to carry out vital operations for your business.
We will listen to your priorities and objectives for the recovery process, so that the most important files are addressed first or the overall task load is ordered so that the essential communication channels are opened to allow you to resume work as quickly as possible.
Plus, with offices in key locations, we can offer rapid on-site assistance in the event of a major technical emergency with IT support in Hampshire, Liverpool and other main areas.

As a start up or small business, it may be appealing to host your server with an external business IT support firm, in order to ensure your files and programmes are maintained regularly. It also offers additional peace of mind as you are safe in the knowledge that the third party you employ has expertise, should any technical issues occur.
One hosting solution is to use a virtual private server (VPS), which splits a server into several virtual environments that can be operated and rebooted independently.
There are many benefits to using a VPS system, one of which is cost – virtualising is much more cost effective than using a dedicated server. It can also prove more reliable with its greater backup abilities.
Plus, as your business grows, the flexible nature of a virtual private server means you can add new applications to each aspect, or expand the server partitions as a whole. You can also move across to a more powerful server should you need to.
VPS systems often offer more accessible business IT support than dedicated servers, as you can access the resources you require whenever you need them, yet at the same time they still offer privacy protection so that various members of your company can only use relevant areas of the server.
If you’re unsure of the best server solution for your company, at Medhurst IT we offer comprehensive third party business IT support. We can advise on the best technological solutions for your organisation and how to implement them, as well as monitoring and maintaining them on your behalf.
