Run a small to medium sized business in Scotland?

Annoyed with the techno-jargon from your IT provider?

Dismayed at poor service?

Maybe it’s time you talked to Al!

I have worked in IT for all of my adult life either in the back office or face to face with customers and the general public and one thing I keep hearing is that businesses just want to do what they are in business for and they don’t want IT to get in the way of work. After all, IT is supposed to increase productivity, not make your day a frustrating series of ‘Wait until Outlook repairs your PST file’, or ‘A System Error has occurred’.

My approach to IT is simple. I look at your IT setup and assess it completely for you. If there are parts of it that need improving, I’ll tell you why (without blinding you with ‘tech speak’). More importantly, I’ll tell you how the changes will improve your productivity.

I specialise in the following areas, but I can do other areas as well, and if I can’t help I can find someone for you that will:

• Open Source Solutions including Linux and LAMP installs.
• Server installation or co-location.
• Cost reduction solutions through Open Source deployments or replacement. Can squeeze more life out of old hardware guaranteed!
• Infrastructure solutions including Networking (cabling, switches, routers, wifi, etc).
• Ongoing general IT support solutions including Desktop Support.
• Web server setups, including web hosting plans, domain name registration, Apache web server, MySQL databases and PHP/Perl configurations (LAMP).
• Web sites or web based systems custom made for your company.
• Friendly IT Training for office staff, eg computer basics, Internet inc. E-mail, Office software etc.

I have over a decade worth of experience and have worked for some of the biggest and best companies, such as General Electric (GE), Amazon.co.uk, XCalibre Communications and Picsel Technologies. I always provide a cost effective charging structure for each job, no matter what your budget is.
