Advanced Home Office User Support

The 21st century home is likely to have more technology, PCs and systems than most late-20th century small businesses. These home systems need support, too. If you take a glance at the For Your Business tab, almost all of the topics, issues and services discussed for small businesses are applicable to advanced home users and home offices. Of course, the PC count in the home might be 1-5 instead of 10 to 50, but the challenges facing home office systems and networks are just as critical.

Lock Out Intruders

Protecting your important personal information from Identity Theft is imperative if your home computers access the Internet. This crime is the fastest-growing in history. Hardware and software systems are necessary to control what your neighbors and hackers see over your full-time broadband cable or DSL connections. If your home network connects to your office network, this need is even greater.

Wireless networking devices are very popular today. They make sharing your Internet connection with family members and other PCs in your home easy and convenient when compared to secure network cabling. But did you know that your neighbors might be able to access your wireless network with ease? Or worse, criminal hackers drive through neighborhoods with wireless network sniffers looking for vulnerable homes. Don't fall victim to this problem. Let us evaluate the hardware you are currently using and if possible, configure it to only allow the PCs that you want to access your network. If your hardware does not support the necessary security features, we will recommend systems that do.

Protect Your Family

Your home office network is typically also your home network, so protecting your family from questionable content and your children from criminal lurkers is as important as knowing your child's whereabouts after school and with whom they associate. Content filtering hardware and site-blocking systems are important because content on the Internet is uncontrolled and virtually unregulated.

Digital Lifestyle Support

Digital music, photography and video place great demands on your systems and storage media. If you have several computers in your home and enjoy these Digital Lifestyle technologies, then you need to think about a fast home network and personal server configuration. It is great to capture all of the most important family memories, but organizing and backing up the data is more complex than the old shoebox-in-the-attic full of negatives. Let us show you how easy it is to centralize, protect and share your treasured memories.

Not able to get that prize photo to print properly on your ink-jet printer at home? We can help you through the maze of options and configure what you have by adjusting settings and recommending materials. Often, older printers are not capable of producing quality results. In this case, we can recommend printers that will meet your needs.
