What are the primary technology issues a small business must consider? Here are a few:
Do I need a new server?
Microsoft Windows Small Business Server (SBS) is one of the most widely installed small business software platforms. MarkCharles Group is certified to install, configure and perform maintenance on Windows SBS and, has many years of experience doing so for our small business customers. But the times may be changing, more and more small businesses are evaluating SaaS (software as a service) and cloud computing options. Let us help guide you through this decision process.
Our inboxes are clogged with SPAM. How do we get rid of this stuff?
Several options here:
Smart Software
Spam filtering smart software that can rid your Inbox of all the junk mail efficiently and easily. Would you be surprised if some of the best anti-spam tools for Windows were free?
Spam Filtering Appliance
If your business has an on-site Exchange server, the best option here, and our recommendation, is the Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall. This is an integrated hardware and software solution designed to protect your email server from spam, virus, spoofing, phishing and spyware attacks. Barracuda is the No. 1 most widely used spam filtering appliance, and winner of numerous industry honors.
Outsource your inbox
More and more, small businesses are evaluating hosted Exchange as a service. Spam virtually disappears because the hosting company manages this for you. In our opinion, there are two clear choices here:
Microsoft Exchange Online, which is a full-featured email, calendar, and contacts solution delivered as a service hosted by Microsoft. Built on the same technologies as Microsoft Exchange Server, Exchange Online provides end users with a familiar experience across PCs, the Web and mobile devices.
Google Apps, which is a service from Google providing independently customizable versions of several Google products under your domain name. In addition to hosted email via Gmail, it features several Web applications with similar functionality to traditional office suites, including: Google Groups, Google Calendar, Talk, Docs and Sites.
Our Internet seems slow. What are our options?
The type of Internet connection you use is the most important factor in determining your connection speed. Who is your Internet Service Provider (ISP)? How much is your business paying for a connection to the Internet? Could you be paying too much for a slow Internet connection?
MarkCharles Group can do the shopping for you. We’ll present you with the three best offers from the leading ISPs in your area at no cost to your business. If you decide to make a change, we get paid a commission from the ISP; you have nothing to lose.
