We implement instant alerts and auto fix scripts to prevent major problems from surfacing. You get the support of a full time IT department that monitors your network and performs the following functions for you:
▶
We install a hardware and software monitoring agent on your servers and workstations. The agent scans all the open ports, processes and services. Based on the results of the scan, customized monitoring policies are applied. There are more than 350 alerts that we monitor according to server/workstation profile of your business.
Using WMI advanced SNMP and ICMP monitoring and alerting, we gather data such as device heartbeat, windows event logs, custom event logs, server performance counters, and SNMP MIB information etc. Dedicated systems administrators and technicians monitor the health, alerts and performance in our Network Operations Center (NOC) for immediate attention and speedy resolution. Most problems can be fixed remotely and when needed, we can be onsite within 30 minutes to handle critical issues.

We want you to be assured that solutions suggested are reliable, professional and are just for the benefits of your firm. Many other Managed Services Providers also earn money by selling hardware and software's solutions that may cause conflict of interest which can impact the credibility of the service provider. We are different and integrity is one of the most important values we bring to your business.
We don't markup on any hardware or software recommended under our managed services unlike others. We just provide the service and assist you by providing expert advice in purchasing new hardware / software. We still facilitate the buying process and most of the time it would be direct billing from the vendor like Dell, HP etc. for any new hardware or software.

You can still live in a much more stressful, inefficient, and disruptive break-fix world but you need to appreciate the fact that IT is the vehicle that powers your business operations and injects cost efficiencies. In-house servers, workstations, and other networking infrastructure are expensive. Software installations, firewall configurations and anti-virus protection need to be done while following best practices of the industry and they need to be regularly updated. With appropriate configuration and security measures not in place, you can lose valuable data and files to unforeseen disasters if you leave your IT to someone who is not diversely experienced and an expert in handling IT functions. We come across those kinds of situations on regular basis and find businesses losing time, money and valuable data because someone average was handling the IT.
As a business, you can spend thousands of dollars on the state of the art software but you may not see any visible benefits from it. The reason behind that could be simple - like improper installation or complex, but only a diversely experienced IT expert can explain and fix it quickly.

CCH ProSystem fx Document & CCH Documents are one of the most advanced paperless systems digitizing the file rooms of accounting firms. With all of your documents in a central repository - including tax returns, client correspondence, employee records and email messages - you'll be able to help your clients in record time.
Accountants love this product but biggest problem small accounting firms face is the, decent investment needed to implement this system for the firm. Document requires an active directory domain, Microsoft SQL server as well as an Exchange server, thus needing a huge investment in the hardware and software.
Now you have an affordable choice. We strongly recommend moving the firm to your private cloud because active directory and exchange server are already part of the service and you can add a SQL server without any significant investment on your part.
