Reliable IT server and network management

Servers and network devices have been the mainstay of computing for many years. A May 2020 report by ZDNet indicates that despite growing interest in the cloud, 63% of SMBs use internal servers, either on-premises or in remote data centers, and 40% plan to purchase additional servers soon. 

Supporting your IT systems and communications networks is the core of our managed services platform. You can count on us to provide competent 24/7 management of your internal equipment racks, towers, data centers and infrastructure.

Flexible help desk support

Whether your business has fewer than 10 or more than 100 users, supporting them is critical to ensuring your IT assets are being used correctly to foster staff satisfaction and enhance productivity.  

As part of our auto dealership IT support services, our well-trained help desk techs employ modern service management software and procedures to efficiently address user requests. We use the latest versions of sophisticated technology to help quickly address user issues without waiting for human intervention. We guide users to resolve common issues smoothly and quickly. 

Outsourcing your help desk is not just a cost-saving strategy, but with our highly trained techs and efficient systems, you can expect increased expertise and faster response times. 

Surveillance camera systems installation and maintenance 

Because your auto dealership has a high value inventory and is susceptible to theft, surveillance security systems are essential. Monitoring your auto dealership through surveillance cameras can help reduce costs, as these systems prevent theft and avoid costly customer claims of damaged cars. We ensure that your system is optimally installed and maintained to provide the utmost video security and reconnaissance 

 

Smartphone and mobile app integration

Smartphone and tablet adoption have virtually exploded since Apple introduced the first iPhone in 2007. Billions of users worldwide now have at least one smart device, with many using both employee-owned and company-owned devices for work.  

Our auto dealership IT support experts can help you develop and implement an optimal strategy for your business, one that considers productivity, cost, security, and your business and users’ needs.

Server and application virtualization

Virtualization is a technology used for many years by larger organizations to drive more efficiency from their IT investments. Essentially, virtualization uses special software to convert a single physical server into multiple virtual machines (VMs). This configures the server to perform many tasks concurrently, and because today’s computers are so fast, the processes appear to be occurring simultaneously.  With more recent software innovations, this technology is now available for smaller insurance companies and agencies. 

VMs can be set up and configured quickly and can be reconfigured or shut down equally promptly when no longer needed. 

While technologies exist to virtualize most of today’s servers, your best approach may be to consider cloud-based solutions that allow you to lease preconfigured virtual servers, applications, databases, security and more on demand. 

Cloud migration strategy and implementation

It is hard to find anyone who doubts the cloud is here to stay. In January 2020, Information Age reported on the top 10 benefits of cloud computing, concluding that many companies are jumping on board because the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages, and it is now much easier to move to the cloud – making it more practical and attainable for smaller insurance companies and agencies. 

Many companies start with a hybrid approach. They move a few services, like email and office applications, to the cloud and leave their main production apps in-house until later. 

Our SMB cloud experts can help you select a cloud strategy that is right for your insurance business and provide ongoing IT support services that bolster your implementation team every step of the way. 

Cybersecurity and data privacy

Growing security challenges are crucial factors in every aspect of today’s business. Malware, phishing, and ransomware attacks are producing huge yearly increases in the number of data and privacy breaches, with the majority affecting small and medium-sized businesses.  

Your security program should not only employ strong technical controls but maintain a continuous program to educate users and reinforce the need for good security hygiene among all your sales, service, and administrative staff. 

Our security experts can help you analyze your security risks and craft a comprehensive, multifaceted defense against cybercriminals.
