    No idea about IT - Help!

    In my opinion, I would suggest either looking at something like 365 (have a chat with remotetechs, i believe he is a 365 partner) or a fully hosted solution, which is what we do. If you want to have additional systems such as Sage or a CRM, then a fully hosted solution is probably the way...

    Our own server vs hosted IT for small group of companies

    I believe so, as remotechs suggested, you can also opt to get a copy of Office for a local install. I'm fairly sure that 365 will be less expensive than a fully hosted solution, however you might not get the same features as with a fully hosted service.

    Our own server vs hosted IT for small group of companies

    I would agree, it is important to have local access to email. One of the biggest drawbacks of fully hosted. To combat this we provide a copy of outlook for the local machine and use file synchronisation to maintain a copy of important documents on the machine when possible.

    Our own server vs hosted IT for small group of companies

    There are quite a broad range of cloud services, things like 365 and Google Apps are more hybrid in design, what I am suggesting is more down the fully hosted route with some local integration. We work with a lot of design companies and of course CAD is always an issue, however we simply keep...

    Our own server vs hosted IT for small group of companies

    As you can probably see we specialise in hosted environments, pretty much meeting the outline of what has been suggested by the alternative IT provider. The beauty of hosted IT is that everything can be done on a usage based model both for hardware (resource) and software for all MS products...

    Recording a mobile phone call

    It certainly wouldnt be cost effective for a one off session of recording, I believe it would involve a hardware purchase. Might be better to pop the sim into an android phone, or maybe output the audio via some kind of recording device.

    Recording a mobile phone call

    Oak provide good recording equipment for Blackberry, it integrates with BES and I believe that is the only way you can provide FSA approved mobile recording as the recording is controlled via BES rather than at the handset.

    Recording a mobile phone call

    I'm pretty sure there are a lot of applications available via the app store. There certainly are for Android anyway. I've seen lots of free and paid for apps.

    Best business phone & broadband provider

    haha I get that a lot. I think people are used to paying £12 a month with people like Talk Talk, and unfortunately you get the service to match. we are never going to try and be bargain basement for broadband, we have found our clients pay the extra to be able to call us, speak to a human, and...

    BT maintain Cisco equipment??? Probably not then. We could do it, but we would need to understand a bit more about your WAN & LAN setup to understand what would be involved, would just require a quick call from one of our Cisco guys to run through a few things. It fairly likely all would be...

    Voip Voip Voip

    Without having knowledge of your WAN infrastructure getting installation pricing is a little difficult; it may be easier to ask your maintainer do make the changes remotely, if not our engineers can do this. Trunks are usually £7.50 each per month, but I'll even do them at £6.00 and throw the...
