PREVENTATIVE SERVICE MAINTENANCE IS SAVING COMPANIES

INTELLIGENT NETWORK SERVICES EXPLAINS HOW COMPUTER MAINTENANCE CAN SAVE SMALL BUSINESSES

San Jose, CA – May 17, 2007 – “When computers or networks go down, a company is out of business,” said Thomas Burns, founder of Intelligent Network Services. “For most small businesses, being out of business for a day can work havoc on the bottom line. It can mean the difference between business survival and complete disaster.”

Preventing down time is a vital consideration in the daily operations of any business. Down time, however, may have deeper repercussions for small businesses. There are things a small business can do to protect itself from some of the leading causes of computer outages and reduced functionality. Many of the leading causes of computer or system outages, in fact, can be avoided with preventative service maintenance.

Preventative maintenance includes

• Dust removal
• Remote Network Monitoring
• Software maintenance
• Software updates
• Hardware updates
• Virus and spyware protection

“The simple truth,” says Burns, “is that regular preventative maintenance and upgrades can prevent hard drive crashes, damaged power supplies, overheating, lockups, freezes, intermittent interruptions, and more. In today’s business environment, data and systems efficiency are the most critical elements of business effectiveness. Without access to data and without systems to streamline processes, businesses could be dealing with system problems instead of selling products or services.”

Burns helps small businesses stay in peak operating condition by providing regular preventative maintenance. The maintenance program identifies problems waiting to happen, keeps systems in the best possible operating condition, and ensures a healthy business environment for the company. Preventative maintenance, along with appropriate proactive hardware and software upgrades, enable the small business to remain focused on core competencies, knowing that the systems, hardware and software will keep them operational.
