Services

At Blue Granite, our goal is to help you achieve your goals, so we don’t just offer you products out of a box and we don’t spew technospeak. We begin by asking you two questions:

  1. What are you trying to accomplish?
  2. What’s holding you back?

Guided by your answers, we will work to find a solution that most closely matches your specific needs, and we will talk to you in plain English throughout the process.

Below are some typical small business systems and networking needs that Blue Granite routinely handles with great success:

  1. Seamless file and printer sharing. The operative word here is “seamless”. If you cannot freely access data on any of the networked computers or you have to jump through hoops to use a common printer, then you almost certainly are wasting too many billable hours on a problem that is easily solved with the right technical know-how.
  2. Network and Internet connectivity. In addition to being seamless and transparent, we strive to make all your connections—including offsite connections or virtual private networks—as secure as possible with state-of-the-art firewall hardware for protection from hackers and viruses, and the most up-to-date anti-virus software.
  3. Remote resource monitoring. We keep a close watch on your servers and remotely monitor your disk space, memory utilization, and network bandwidth, so we can fix potential problems before they bring down the system. We also help you avoid all the pitfalls of overloading a system by letting you know when it’s time to upgrade.
  4. Disaster Recovery Planning. Sometimes referred to as Business Continuity Planning, it simply means having the capacity to recover your business after a disaster, such as a fire, flood, or earthquake. We will write up a plan for you on how to rebuild your business after a disaster.
  5. Hiring technical staff. If at any time you decide that your business needs full-time on-site staff to administer and monitor your network, we will help you with the process of finding qualified people and training them. You are also assured of a seamless transition because at Blue Granite we document everything.
