Introduction
Old computers which have not been maintained properly will unexpectedly break and slow down.
To make things worse an older system may not support the new systems required for a new project. The upgrade service will advise the best value approach to altering your computer systems.
Like a motor car there comes a point when it makes sense to replace the car rather than applying fixes. It is possible to re-install the software and add anti-virus to stabilise a system to give you many more years of reliable service. However, when you need faster response or specialist hardware there is little choice but to replace a system.
The good news is that modern hardware is relatively cheap, but we will help you control the costs of software which can quickly double the price of a system.
Microsoft systems are fully supported including Office, Exchange, SQL, and all versions of Windows and Dos. However the cost of Microsoft licenses can be expensive. The upgrade service will help you confidently consider lower cost, and free alternatives.
For example: software costs can be reduced using open source technologies such as Linux. There are also excellent free alternatives to Microsoft Word, Excel and Power point called OpenOffice which will also run on Microsoft Windows. More details at http://www.openoffice.org/.
The service can also provides documentation, and introductory training for supporting, and using upgraded systems.
The upgrade service can ensure that your data is transferred safely and in a usable format to the new systems. Remnants of data on the old system can also be removed to DOD standards to ensure safe disposal of redundant equipment.
The upgrade service provides many benefits by recycling old systems.
