Server support

Relying on an old server nobody understands? We'll keep it running and plan what's next.

  • Business software runs on
  • Nobody has documentation or admin
  • Server or software is no
  • System slows down

Many small businesses depend on an ageing server or older business software set up years ago by someone who's no longer around. We maintain and document what you have, resolve problems when they occur, and help you plan when and how to replace it without disrupting the business.

Questions

Server support answered

Do we need to replace our server?+

Not always straight away. We'll explain the risk of keeping it and your options, so you can decide when.

Can you support software you didn't install?+

Yes. We work with what you have and contact the software vendor when needed.

What if the server fails?+

With working backups, we can restore what's needed. Without them, recovery depends on what failed, and we'll tell you plainly what's possible.

Can our files move to the cloud?+

Often, yes. See File server to cloud migration.
