IT provider offers help

A growing IT Services provider has identified the three most likely on-line areas to be overlooked by local businesses.

5c Services has been providing IT support to local businesses for over 11 years and with offices in Welshpool and Builth Wells and a team of professional engineers now covers Wales and beyond.

The company has identified Offsite back-up and Disaster Recovery, Fibre Broadband and E-Mail Security as the three areas neglected by local businesses.

“Over the past few years there has been an increase in demand for IT support and quality IT solutions for businesses,” said a 5c Services spokesman. “But do we really know what is out there? And how could it fully benefit a company, maybe even save money? 

“In our experience, there are three popular subjects that get overlooked or ignored within a business environment. But of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg so if you do have any IT related issues please just give us a ring where one of our friendly members of staff would be happy to help.”

The three areas are:

Offsite back up/Disaster Recovery; Easy to set up, not as expensive as you may think and will give you that peace of mind in case of disaster. Ask yourself, can you really afford not to have a Disaster Recovery Procedure in place? Things you need to consider when discussing it are;

“How much data would I class as ‘important’?”

“Do I have the Internet speed to be able to back it up to cloud?”

“If I haven’t got the Broadband speed what are the other options? “How do I access my data in the event of a disaster?

“How quickly will I be up and running again?”

Fibre broadband; We see the adverts on TV and we often hear about the cities with their Super-Fast-Broadband but did you know that 89% of Wales is ‘Fibre Ready’ so wouldn’t it be worth checking with your Internet Provider if you are applicable?

So, everything from Cloud Computing, Hosted Email, cloud data storage, Remote working, no bandwidth restrictions etc the benefits of Fibre are immeasurable. 

E-mail security; With more than 200 billion emails being sent daily and only 2.5 billion are deemed as genuine, the risks of malicious software purposely trying to infect your system are higher than ever.

“If you run a business where E-mail is being used it is imperative that you implement some form of E-mail Security. Why not give us a call where we could help you alleviate the stress of E-mail Security?

“Our team are always there to help so if you have any questions please feel free to contact us,” said the spokesman.  “We also offer a free IT Review so if you want some professional IT Advice and recommendations why not contact us to arrange one.  No obligation is necessary – you’ve got nothing to lose.

“With a New Year upon us we reflect back on the success we had in 2015 and look to the future with confidence.  We have some very exciting IT projects planned here & welcome our new clients at 5c Services Ltd.”
