On Responsiveness
In a well managed, well run IT department, IT staff shouldn't be busy. Consistently poor response times means IT staff are busy. Which usually means they're putting out fires. Which means problems aren't being properly taken care of the first time around. Which means inadequately skilled IT staff. Unless there are changes occurring - upgrades, new installations, changes in size or locations - the best IT staff spend their time proactively monitoring and maintaining their environments to nip potential issues in the bud.

Imagine a reality where IT problems weren't even on the radar, and a business can get on with doing what it did best.

The Future of IT
For several years there has been talk of doing away with monitors and and replacing them with a pair of glasses. How does that work? The glasses beam the image of the monitor directly onto your retina! Couple this with a computer that can respond to your voice and provide output to the glasses, no more monitor, keyboard and mouse. Sounds crazy!

Welcome to the future.

IT Training and Mentoring
Working in IT is enormously rewarding, and brings with it it's own set of unique challenges. In a smaller company these can be technical - there's a need for the full range of technical skills - workstations, servers, networks, firewalls, security, phones, as well as customer service skills, documentation, etc etc etc. For a larger company with a full IT staff, having to contend with the logistics of managing a larger network, the proper management of workload, projects and people, on top of keeping up to speed with the requisite technical skills, can be overwhelming. Where does one go to when faced with these kinds of difficulties? To a company with 25 years experience being the IT resource of last resort, providing solutions and teaching them to IT staff, in some of the most demanding, high performance environments imaginable covering the full range of technical, management, customer service, documentation, training and mentoring, and more, skills.

Network Engineering
In larger networks of several hundred to several thousand users, issues can be difficult to pinpoint. A problem with a piece of client software can appear to be be a workstation or server issue, but easily be the manifestation of an overlooked network error. How to find out? A good start would be to speak to a company with experience in the design, implementation, troubleshooting and maintenance of large networks - John Baldwin IT.

VOIP
If an email is delayed by a few seconds, it's not noticeable. A phone conversation cannot be subject to the same delays, so the requirements for handling voice network traffic are very specific. Most of the issues with VOIP are caused simply because the installer of the phone system hasn't taken these specific requirements into account. It's not enough to just plug in a phone and expect it to work. And when phones don't work, the impact on employees and customers can be very negative. Talk to us about our premier class, feature rich, redundant cloud-based VOIP solution.
