Giving something back 
The Partners and staff of Technica Solutions are fortunate to count many charities as clients. We offer support to these organisations at reduced charity rates.

However, sometimes we want to go that little bit further. So over the last few years we have been giving both our time and donating equipment to a wonderful local primary school called EJPS.

As well as supporting all the school's computers, we have also donated a 12 station ICT suite, pictured below. This comprises 12 workstations, a server and various peripherals.



The school is due to start work on a new £5million state-of-the-art building. But until then the suite is located in one of the old buildings on their site. That doesn't stop the staff and pupils making full use of the facility.

It is great when we pop in and see our donations and hard work being used and enjoyed.

Apple scores clean sweep in manufacturers after-sales survey 
It was interesting to see Apple clean up again in a Consumer Reports magazine study into after-sales service. As happened last year, Apple’s overall ranking for problem solving, phone waits, phone staff and online support put the company head and shoulders above their nearest rival – 32 percentage points clear on desktops and 26 percentage points up on laptops.

Those firmly ensconced in the PC camp deride Apple for the limited choice available when specifying and configuring a Mac, but it is exactly those restrictions that make it possible for Apple’s support team to offer such accurate and effective after-sales support. It's pretty tough to find a poor processor or GPU these days and we're close to 4GB RAM being a standard offering; sacrificing variety on hardware for quality support makes plenty of sense to me.

At Technica we’ve been aware for quite some time that providing a number of standardised core solutions, covering not just desktops and laptops but servers and infrastructure too, help us to offer our clients exactly the levels of service they need and now expect. From the support engineers’ viewpoint, fewer variables, along with confidence in proactive maintenance, undoubtedly lead to greater familiarity and security that queries can be dealt with efficiently and with extremely high client satisfaction.

I may not have thought this through.... 
Everyone who knows me knows how super fit I am and how well suited my body shape is to climbing down, through and back out of the Grand Canyon, over four days with nights under canvas and days navigating steep inclines. No showers or proper toilets and I've been told that my Blackberry won't work....

You can read more about it here and hopefully be persuaded to sponsor me.

Technica's New Hosting Centre goes live 
We are pleased to report that we have moved our servers out of Global Switch in London Docklands and in to a state-of-the-art new facility in Hemel Hempstead.

We also continue to host servers in data centres in Telford, Manchester and Cambridge so that we can benefit from geographical and data redundancy.

Docklands was proving to be very difficult to arrange access and, like most of London was seriously short of Power. We also had concerns about the older cooling systems in Docklands as well as the risk of flooding.

With the move to Hemel we have no shortage of power and wonderfully easy and yet secure access, 24 hours a day 365 days per week. We also have the ability to expand easily. This means that we can continue to offer remote server hosting facilities to clients, but now lead time to implementation can be as short as six hours if needed.

The Technica Blog Goes Live 
We have created this new blog section on our website to keep our clients informed of news and items of interest to them.

What is a blog?

A weblog, which is shortened to "blog", is a type of web page where entries are made (similar to a journal or diary), usually displayed in a reverse chronological order.

Blogs often provide commentary or news and information on a particular subject. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. Most blogs are primarily textual.

Technica Solutions can add a blog area to clients' existing sites or create a new site incorporating a blog. Just ask and we will be happy to advise.
