We offer a comprehensive and professional installation service that covers the installation of hardware, software and networking equipment. We are also experts at migrating companies to Mac OS X. For a competitive quote on your installation contact us.

Hardware

With a knowledge of all Apple hardware, from iMacs to Xserves, we'll have your new systems up and running in no time. We can add any internal hardware to your Macs, including extra memory, extra storage, Airport cards or other internal items. Similarly, we can install any external hardware that you need, for example scanners and external drives.

Software

We can also install and configure software to your specification. This can be anything from the latest version of the Mac OS or Mac OS X server, to your favoured design and layout applications, such as Photoshop and Quark XPress. When installing any new software we are happy to arrange any training that users may require.

Mac OS X Migration

Migrating a company to Mac OS X can be a particularly daunting proposition but with our expertise in this area we can make sure the whole process is carried out smoothly and quickly. Installing and configuring Mac OS X Server and integrating it into your current workflow is also a process that we can carry out quickly and professionally, smoothing the transition to Apple's cutting edge operating system. At the same time as updating the operating system on your machines, we can install the latest versions of your third party applications, enabling them to run "natively" under Mac OS X, which gives you the best possible user experience from your applications and Mac OS X. Due to the fact that many applications often need to be updated when migrating to Mac OS X, it is advisable to contact us to arrange a consultation before you make the decision to upgrade. This will ensure that you know exactly which hardware and software needs to be upgraded, the costs involved and the numerous benefits that a migration to Mac OS X provides. Mac OS X is substantially different from older versions of the Mac OS and therefore whenever we perform a migration to Mac OS X we will always train users in the basics of the system.

Networks

With extensive knowledge of various network topographies we can install and configure your network hardware to achieve your desired outcome. From small LANs, to large LANs, wireless LANs, to WANs, and VPN systems to Network Attached Storage systems. We can install the routers, switches, firewalls and servers that you need to get connected. Along with networking Macs we are experienced at cross-platform networking and have the expertise to get Macintosh, Windows and Linux desktops and servers talking to each other. This service in particular benefits from a prior consultation due to the complexity and variety of available options, to arrange a consultation contact us.

On Site/Off Site

We offer a number of methods of installation depending on a client's needs. We can either install and configure the hardware on-site at a time convenient to you, or, where appropriate, we can pre-configure the hardware and software for you based on your needs. This approach limits the amount of disruption to your business as hardware can literally be "dropped in" on-site in a very short time. Wherever hardware needs to be completely installed on site, we will ensure minimal disruption to your business. In the case of smaller items of hardware these may be delivered to you already configured. This is particularly appropriate for small network items such as Wireless equipment and Broadband (ADSL and Cable) modems and routers.
