Internet connection and configuration:
Internet connections are getting easier to establish. Most internet
access companies now include CDs that will install all of the necessary
internet software componenents for you. Unfortunately, with the
choices in connection types, from DSL to Cable Modem, setup is getting
more difficult. What SandpointMacs offers is complete training and
configuration.
You'll get more than a collection of software; you'll get everything
set up for easy use with all of your settings already customized.
You won't have to find out what your POP3 address is or know what
a NNTP server or subnet mask is. Even more importantly, your system
will be set up by a professional who can explain the workings of
the internet to you, in as much or as little detail as you desire.
Find out the difference between the Internet and the World Wide
Web, and the meaning behind internet protocols like SMTP, HTTP,
HTML, NNTP, and FTP. Gain a basic understanding of what TCP/IP is,
and how it relates to your network. Then again, if you just want
to access the World Wide Web and get you eMail, we can also keep
it simple.
Professional Web site design and programming:
Everyone's getting a web page - and for good reason. It is currently
estimated that there are between 12 and 30 million people online
using the World Wide Web. Demographically, they tend to be between
the ages of 22 and 35, educated, and with an average household income
of $60,000. If this is a segment of the market that you need to
attract, then it's time to get online.
The World Wide Web, to be honest, is still in its infancy. Most
people are still becoming familiarized with the technology. There
are a lot of people out there doing it wrong - don't be one of them.
Get an early start on Web publishing, and get it done professionally.
Installation & Configuration:
Let SandpointMacs help you install and configure your new purchases,
whether hardware or software. If you feel confident in your abilities
to install and configure all of your software and hardware on your
own, then by all means do so! It's a good learning experience, and
you will have an excellent understanding of the workings of your
own system. But when your primary goal is to focus all of your time
and efforts on getting a job done, then it's time to have a professional
do the work for you.
Routine Maintenance:
Skipping routine maintenance is the worst time-waster of all. Few
things are as frustrating as when your computer is a stumbling block
instead of a tool. Don't waste your valuable time with trial and
error. Get the benefit of experience by calling SandpointMacs.
We work on your time-table, so you can schedule a appointment when
your system will be idle. That way you can get back to work without
missing a beat. From backing up drives and reformatting to more
subtle problems like inappropriate application settings, we can
solve whatever problems you're facing.
Software Help:
Get the personalized experience that books cannot provide. If you've
got specific questions that you can't find answers to or concepts
that you need to understand, there is one company to call.
You'll get easy-to-understand answers, and as much or as little
technical detail as you care to know. Get information on advanced
topics or simple questions, from email to cross-platform issues.
If you've got a problem with no solution, then you probably haven't
called SandpointMacs.
Data Backup Strategies:
Backing up your data is one thing that you can't afford not to do.
Whether you just need a simple back-up of your important documents
or a back-up strategies for your network, we can provide you with
the necessary software and hardware to streamline your data's safe
backup.
If you are at all uncertain about the best strategies to use, call
SandpointMacs. Everything will be done for you, and you'll find
out about archive vs. security strategies, rotating off-site backup
sets, and where to use incremental vs. full backup sessions.
Network Setup:
Just think about all of the things that you could do from your home
if you could remotely connect to your office network. What, you
don't have an office network? We can help set one up for you.
Whether it's a local dial-up connection or a long-distance internet
connection, new technology is making it easier and more efficient
than ever to access your data from anywhere.
Purchasing Recommendations:
More than in any other field, the purchasing of computers and their
related products requires utmost experience as well as the latest,
most up-to-date information available.
Not all computer products are created equal: there are differences
in expandability, reliability, upgrades, speed, and of course price
that must all be factored in to an intelligent purchasing decision.
At SandpointMacs, a significant amount of time is spent researching
these items through printed, online, and user group sources. Take
advantage of our experience the next time you are considering a
systems purchase.
Custom Databases:
Databases aren't just for large corporations anymore. We have experience
installing and customizing databases that range from simple line
entry forms to complex job tracking structures.
Each aspect of your business that moves from paper to the digital
realm will profoundly effect your company's productivity, efficiency,
and organization. Ask for a free analysis of your business needs
and how they can be streamlined with an easy to use, networked company
database.
Cross-Platform issues:
As any Macintosh user knows, nothing involving the PC is simple.
If you've got PCs in your shop that needs to be integrated, there
are right ways and wrong ways to do this, especially with the advent
of Windows 95/98/2000/ME/NT.
Before you attempt to connect a PC to a Macintosh network or if
you are considering purchasing a PC that will be incorporated into
a mac-centric workflow, call SandpointMacs to get experience working
on your side. We will team up with our Windows consultant, whom
we have worked with for years.
