Working by yourself, it can be difficult to get the right IT setup. You don’t want to spend lots of money – after all, you’re not a big company. But, if you can’t use your computer, that’s 100% of your company that’s out of action.
It’s important to keep things real, and not get trapped with ‘consumer’ solutions, when you really need a business solution. Talk to projectfive about what you need and, more importantly, what you don’t!
Your business is growing – you need to share your data effectively with colleagues. But do you really need a server, if there’s other ways of achieving what you want?
There are many things that you can do to make you efficient and lay the foundations for a secure and stable IT future – but many people head in the wrong direction. This is the time when over complication of your solution will cause you headaches today, and waste in the future. Talk to projectfive about what you need and, more importantly, what you don’t!
Rebooting the server during the lunch-hour has real cost-implications. Making sure everyone has updated their PCs with the latest Microsoft patches requires a lot of your time. Finding your server ‘down’ on a Monday morning doesn’t bear thinking about.

With projectfive behind you, you get the dedication and experience to support your in-house IT team or outsource completely, and we’ll take care of everything for you.

Sarah is undertaking a new challenge to raise money for Watts Gallery, Hope Emergency Appeal and the RNLI.
She will be swimming the Solent from Portsmouth to the Isle of Wight with Perdita Hunt, Director of the Watts Gallery.
Sarah will have to swim this busy stretch of water dodging small boats, large ships and jellyfish – but she’s got a bright orange swim hat to keep her safe!
