Shopping for Computers ?

computer shoppingGreat Shopping in Roanoke means a choice between Valley View or Tanglewood mall, or some of the other great smaller venues.  But what do you do if you are shopping for computer help ? How do you know what you need, or more importantly how much to spend ?  It is so hard to know if you are spending money on something you really need, or wasting money on something that really isn’t necessary. If you go to one of the big box chain stores to make a purchase then you are taking a gamble on the experience of the sales person, and whether they are pointing you in the right direction.  In an economy where every penny counts, I don’t feel like gambling on that much money, how about you ?   Wouldn’t it be nice to know that you were spending money on the best value for your dollar.  But how can you do that when you buy a computer ?  Most of that techno-jargon is like a foreign language to the average consumer.

So what is the answer ? How do you get the help you need ? How about calling Spencer Technology Solutions at 540-815-9397 ?  You would be surprised to find out that you can get a computer built for your personal needs and specifications for a great price, and the best part is that the computer is built just for you, and you buy only what you need.  You never pay for things you don’t need. Instead your every dollar is going to help you get the things that will benefit you the most on your new computer.   Sounds good ?  Give us a call and let us quote you a new system today.

Internet Security for your business !

Spencer Technology Solutions, Roanoke’s favorite IT & Computer Consultant, has spoken at many events on the topic of Inernet security and how to make it work for your business.

Matt Spencer, the President of Spencer Technology Solutions,  is often asked questions by customers about internet security, and how to make it work for their particular needs.  As  I am sure  you have seen examples of how important internet security  is in today’s business world. Various privacy laws for medical files and the confidentiality of critical data for financial reports are essential. However, did you know that Internet security is becoming increasingly important for all areas of business ?

Unfortunately, due to a decrease in a real work ethic, Internet security is becoming a necessity in all types of business simply because employees abuse the internet in so many ways, from things as simple as internet games to things as disturbing as pornography in the office place.  Many employees browse hundreds of websites per week during work hours. Have you wondered when people have the time to play  these new popular internet games – guess what they are playing them on the job.  So while your employees are leveling up in candy crush, or other such fun things, you are seeing less and less productivity.  Some employees even spend time looking for other jobs, and reading classified ads while on the clock. In addition to the productivity you are losing, many of these sites that are visited by employees are laced with viruses that can damage your business’ computers, cause them to freeze up, run slower, and eventually need costly repair.

What should you do? Most employees need the internet to do various job duties in the office, so how can you combat this problem ? For more information on Internet Security, and the various options available to you to combat this problem give us a call at 540-815-9397 and let us schedule a consultation to help you analyze your business’s needs, and the best way to handle your security issues.   Remember Spencer Technology Solutions is here to meet all your IT needs, give us a call today, and see what we can do for you.
