Network Administration
Network administration is a critical function for all businesses, yet one that often can go neglected until disaster strikes. For companies without an in-house IT person, the important and regular tasks of updating servers and software, installing patches, confirming and test-restoring backups and other essential network maintenance work can be forgotten or inconsistently done, exposing the business to significant risk for system failure, breach, data loss and downtime.

Do What You Do Best—We'll Do The Rest
Outside of the significant risks that unmanaged IT represents, it's worth considering the time cost, stress and missed opportunities that happen when non-IT staff are tasked with managing computers, servers and networks. What work has had to be set aside in order to add new employees to the network and make sure their systems are set up, access properly granted/restricted, etc.? What is the stress load on your team when you have an outage, inaccessible files, inability to restore accidentally deleted files or issue related to server access? When you stop to think about it, these tasks can take up significant amounts of time and still may not be properly addressed. NCIT can help!
