Technology Services are critically important to the success or failure of an organization!
The current economic climate has led to the closure and/or consolidation of thousands of companies in recent years. Companies continue to scale down operating expenses and reduce unjustified “fluff” as they ride out the remainder of the economic storm. Across industries, particularly with Small Businesses, technology infrastructure and services (Desktops, Servers, Software Application Management, Remote Monitoring, Managed Services, IT Solutions, Data Storage and Disaster Prevention) continues to be viewed by some as expense “fluff”. However, implementing the right technology solution can actually enable staff workload to be downsized, enable future growth of business in remote offices and increase the profitability of a company, rather than drain the operating budget! Ensure that your organization will thrive by investing in Technology Support Services. Don’t view Technology Support as an expense, but rather as an investment into the long-term success of your company. The necessity for business productivity is not an expense to cut. The right Technology Solutions Provider can access the needs of a company and identify a more cost effective approach that meets the needs of a company. This inevitably will reduce the “fluff”. Processes can be streamlined and a more efficient way to perform daily tasks will be revealed. This would decrease work hours for assigned tasks and enable staff to be more productive. Increased productivity typically generates more revenue, thus the outcome is mutually beneficial.
The correct Technology Solution may also allow for future growth of your company within other geographical locations. Remote offices can access and share files with the main office. This functionality will allow for new sales opportunities and provide a company with additional growth!
Service Providers such as Medical and Dental Practices often have a tough time justifying technology expenses. Ironically, with the recent added EHR or EMR requirements, if a medical or dental practice was to experience a Network Failure, the consequences could be catastrophic. A small investment in Technology Infrastructure and Maintenance can save thousands of dollars each day that an office is not operating at full-capacity.
We must ask this question…How much money would YOUR company lose if your office network was down or if your company data was lost and unrecoverable? What value do you place on intellectual property and client contact information? What monetary fines would be imposed upon your company by Federal or State Regulating Entities for technical non-compliance?
If you want to ensure that your company is properly equipped with a technology solution that meets the needs and goals and compliance requirements of your organization, contact the infrastructure specialists at Orange County Computer and a member of our team will be happy to help. Contact us to schedule a complimentary Network Evaluation or Compliance Assessment today at 949-699-6619. We are happy to help!

Western Digital late Thursday night said that the rebooting of its Thailand hard drive manufacturing (in the wake of devastating floods in that country), has commenced earlier than expected.
However, Western Digital echoed rival Seagate’s warning from earlier this week that hard drive supplies will remain constrained through at least the first half of 2012.
The company has also moved manufacturing equipment for sliders, a key hard drive component for hard drives, from that facility for decontamination, and expects slider production there to restart during the first quarter of 2012 at about the same time it plans to open a similar facility in Malaysia.
Other Western Digital facilities in Thailand are still under about two feet of water, and refurbishment will commence after they are pumped dry, which the company estimated will take another 10 days.
Rising prices and supply chain uncertainty from the Thailand flooding have already started to adversely impact the storage industry as a whole.
