Windows 2000 – 53 days left!

There are 53 days until Tuesday, 13 July 2010, when Microsoft retire extended support for Windows 2000. If you’re still working on Windows 2000, you need to look at migrating away to a supported operating system as a matter of urgency now.

The challenges of setting up on your own

With high levels of redundancies, the ranks of the self-employed and people setting up their own businesses are swelling dramatically. But coming from a corporate background to start a business on your own can be a bit of a culture shock. Different people miss different things – some the PA, others the support network they take for granted when employed by larger companies.

Owning and running a company means you have to focus on generating new business leads and making a profit, but without the support staff you may have been used to in corporate life. One of those is the in-house IT team. Hartwin IT can help though – from advice on setting up and putting in place systems that will see you through your planned growth, as well as back ups and support arrangements. As an outsourced provider, we work as part of your team – but without the overhead of employing specialists on the payroll. If you’re setting up on your own, or considering doing so, give us a call on 01480 640150 to see how we can help. You might be surprised how much we can help!


Why waste eight days a year fixing computer problems?

According to a survey by Microsoft, we waste up to eight days a year dealing computer problems at work and at home. Users got most annoyed with waiting to PC’s to load, laptop batteries running out and searching for files. Frequent pop-ups, installing new software and dealing with security threats also tested people’s patience. Over 40% of users said they didn’t want flashy updates and new features, but a computer that “just works”.

If you’re one of those people spending up to 30 minutes a day waiting for your systems to catch up with you, or fixing problems, there is a better way. Hartwin IT can help you make sure your businesses’ computer systems “just work”, saving time, money and significant amounts of stress! If you want help, call us on 01480 640150.
