IT Services for Small & Medium Business

Businesses IT requirements can be many and varied. From mobile telephones to mail servers to Apple iPad’s. IT Advocate provides you  with specialised purchasing advice,  procurement and ongoing technical support.

Server Hardware

IBM, Dell, HP & Intel are some of our recommended server hardware manufacturers. These platforms can provide leading edge technology, reliability and excellent after sales support. Dell and Intel servers offer lower entry price points for smaller businesses whilst still using robust enterprise grade technology.

Personal Computers

Desktops are the mainstay of most business environments however laptops can offer increased flexibility. Current generation business grade laptops provide excellent desktop-like performance and fantastic value for money. We can also recommend powerful workstations in traditional tower configurations or Small Form Factor desktops for general in-office use.

Cloud Computing

Hosted services (cloud services) provide increased functionality for business without the significant up-front expenditure. Software As A Service, SAAS, allows a business to purchase software licences as it would other services, paying monthly instead of a large initial payment. Some well known Cloud Computing solutions are Google Apps for Business, Microsoft Office365 (Telstra-T Suite) and MYOB Live Accounts. An IT Advocate IT Service consultation can recommend a cloud service for you, delivering enterprise grade functionality for small business costs.

Operating Systems & Software

Microsoft Windows is the common business operating system, with most computers running Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel). Our IT Experts have experience with Microsoft, Apple OS, Linux and FreeBSD. Linux variants like Ubuntu can provide low-cost open source entry to server solutions for file sharing and mail services. The IT Advocate IT Services consultants can provide recommendations on various software deployments such as MYOB, Quickbooks and other line-of-business applications.
