Work With the Right Guys — Get the Right Results!

If your company doesn’t have IT support, it’s only a matter of time before you find yourself in a bit of a mess. Like this client: one of their core servers was still running Windows Server 2003 (long since unsupported), and they had inadequate backups and antivirus protection. It was critical to their security that they upgrade, but they were hesitant to proceed — not because of the cost, but because a past IT project had turned into a disaster of downtime, crashes, and endless bugs. 

They weren’t eager to go through that again!

After we started working with them, they began to realize that things were going to be different this time and we were able to upgrade their server and protect their network.

Smooth transitions don't happen by accident, and we take great care to properly plan out projects like this, and equal care in the implementation and follow up. The end result is a smooth transition, happy client, and comments like this:

"Ross has been doing great. You found a lot of talent in that fella and things have been going smoother than I'm used to. Then again, you run a tight ship sir. I shouldn't be surprised. "

What can we say? Work with the right guys, and you'll get the right results.

All IT Companies are Not Created Equal!

One of our recent projects was for a long-time customer — large enough to have their own IT staff. They were upgrading an old server running some line of business software to a newer version of Windows Server. It contained a large amount of data and was critical in their day-to-day operations. It was a big enough project that they were planning on logging off on Friday afternoon and being down all weekend.

NSG had them up and running by mid-Saturday morning, along with a heartfelt thank you.

There’s nothing unusual about an IT team doing server migrations. Or calling in outside support for their own IT staff for larger projects. 

That doesn’t mean all IT companies are created equal. If you’re working with someone less experienced or less skilled, your mileage may vary.

Is a Failed Microsoft Update Putting Your Business At Risk?

When you own a small business, challenges can appear when you least expect them from sources you’d least expect. When business owners worldwide installed the February 9th Windows Server update, they were met with one of those unexpected challenges. An issue with the component that installs Windows updates caused the update to fail, leaving many customers scrambling for a solution or even skipping updates. 

The real problem was those business did not receive the fix to a vulnerability that left their networks open to attackers. 

Cyber-attacks are on the rise and every business connected to the internet is at risk.

Keep Your Network Secure in the Post-pandemic World

There’s no doubt 2020 was a tough year for business! The pandemic and related health and safety regulations put unthinkable stress on our businesses – and many are still struggling to stay afloat from the loss of income. 

If you were also affected by network or computer issues or didn’t have the technology on-hand to ride the e-business surge caused by lockdown conditions, it may have been the worst business year you can remember. 

As we move deeper into the post-pandemic business world, we can be sure of two things:

1. E-business and work-from-home are here to stay, and
2. So are the technical and security challenges that came with the boom in e-business.

Learn what NSG can do to keep your business safe!

E-Business is Here to Stay

Remember last spring when the pandemic started and most everyone thought we’d have a short quarantine period, and then resume business as usual? It’s clear now that business-as-usual has to change to meet ongoing safety concerns – not to mention the fact that people discovered they like the added convenience of e-business!

E-business is not going away; don’t be left behind because of equipment or security issues!
