Systems Maintenance
Why do computer systems need to be maintained?
- Constant updating of software by vendors
- Withdrawal of support of legacy products
- Incompatibilities in software
- Business rules require changes in systems
- Bugs in software cause problems
- Optimisation of systems for performance
- Hardware upgrade needs
- Assurance of system operability
- System security longevity
Ask yourself these questions:
- Is my backup procedure working?
- Is security working the way I want?
- Do I have up-to-date software?
- Can I recover from a failure?
- Do I appreciate what effects downtime has?
- Is regular maintenance worth it?
If you have any doubts following the previous questions, then consider this;
The recommended ways to maintain your system:
- At regular intervals
- On a constant basis
Small businesses don't always have the resources or interest in employing a full
time I.T. professional to maintain their system.
If that sounds like you, then maybe you should look at employing a professional
on the basis of a short period per month;
This need not be as costly as you think and certainly could avoid the cost of rectifying
a system that hasn't been regularly maintained.
For example, employ us for a period per month to view the state of your system and
only pay for work required following that overview. It makes sense.
