WiFi Woes?

Comcast and AT&T are responsible for keeping their network working, not yours. When ISP support falls short it is time to give us a call.

Do you use Netgear? If you do, we need to talk. Sure, you can spend $300+ at a retail store on equipment with crazy specs, but you will still end up with home-grade hardware and reliability. Bitsmith will set up business-grade equipment that’s designed for speed and reliability. Have your cake and eat it without having to reboot your router to watch netflix.

Network Support

Comcast goes down all the time, causing service disruptions. You might think that’s just the way things are, right? Wrong.

Comcast has incentives to keep their network running, regardless of whether yours works or not. Our business is to make sure that your network works. And isn’t that what it’s all about? Wouldn’t it feel great to just have internet service that works?

Computer Speed

Fact #1: You can spend $5000 on a computer.
Fact #2: You DON’T have to spend $5000 to get a fast and functional computer.

In reality, for a little more than the few hundred bucks that your Dell cost, you can have a machine that does the same exact things as a $5000 iMac, and performs just as well. Want to find out how to do it? Contact Bitsmith. This is not a computer you can find, we will build you the ideal computer to meet your business needs.

PC and Mac Upgrade

Is it time to upgrade your computer?

There is room for improvement in every computer. If you buy a new computer every time it is time for an upgrade you are leaving money on the table. Instead we can upgrade the internal hardware to be competitive with new options on the market and you get that new computer feeling for half the price.

PC and Mac Repair

Did your computer stop working?

What’s worse a dead computer or lost data? Bitsmith can help you recover lost data like those family photos from your last vacation or important client records for your business. We also can provide more in-depth solutions to your problems, such as bringing a dead computer back to life.

Virus Removal and Prevention

Nothing could ruin workflow worse than your computer systems getting a virus.

The best way to avoid this pitfall is to proactively have a system in place that will prevent viruses from getting in your system at all. And also training people on what not to click on.

What is Cloud Storage?

You’ve probably heard about the cloud, but if someone asked you what it was the image in your head might be a bit foggy.

That’s because the cloud, by definition isn’t something you could see or feel. Implementing the cloud can help your business store essential files and documents that can be accessed by anyone in your firm, no matter where they are or what type of device they’re using as long as you give them permission.

Server Management

The bigger your business grows, the more servers it will need to keep up with the growing demands of your business.

For many outside of the IT Industry, dealing with one server, especially when it’s not functioning properly, can be more than enough of a challenge. But what about dealing with multiple servers that are dealing with multiple issues at the same time? If your business uses multiple servers or is looking to install more to accommodate growth, contact Bitsmith to learn how to do it correctly, and deal with any issues that may arise.

I hope you have never been told to reboot your server to get it working again, but chances are you have. What choice do you have when the other computers on the network are bogging down and freezing?

As your business grows, it will need more servers to keep up with the growing demands of your business. For many outside of the IT Industry, dealing with one server, especially when it’s not functioning properly, can be more than enough of a challenge. But what about dealing with multiple servers that are dealing with multiple issues at the same time?

Data Backup at Home & Work

If you lost all of your data right now what would you do?

Data is gold. If you’ve followed the news, you’ve seen the lengths firms go through to collect your data, and the scandals that arise when data breaches occur. That raises the question, how well-protected is your data at home? What about at work? What would you do if your system crashed, and all of the important information that you had in the system got completely wiped out?

If you don’t have answers to those questions, don’t worry. Bitsmith can provide these answers and more, including data backup solutions that will protect your personal data.

Work Smarter, Not Harder

Smart Home & Business Automation have changed the game.

It is amazing how much valuable time can be wasted keeping your records and information up to date instead of actually getting work done. Automation takes away the need for a human to walk a process through and lets it be accomplished properly behind the scenes faster, with better accuracy, and with fewer mistakes, unless of course your humans never forget or lose anything.

Our team has been working with Automation since its inception and can help you both automate your home and business worlds.

Digital Voice Systems

Have you ever bought a new technology because it was on sale and it turned out to be useless?

Prevent this from happening by hiring the experts at Bitsmith to install the most effective file protection and encryption software to ensure that all of your data is safe, even when mistakes are made and your firm gets exposed.

ISP (Internet Service Provider)

“What’s wrong with my Internet connection?” Is this something you ask yourself on a regular basis?  

It wouldn’t be surprising, since most Internet Service Providers (ISP) design their networks to operate in the most cost efficient manner, often at the expense of customer satisfaction.

Then, when you call a technician to “fix” the problem, they often blame the customer and charge them a fee. What’s worse is the technician only comes out to fix a minor issue, not repair a broken system, so you’ll be liable to have similar issues in the future while getting the pleasure of being blamed for something that’s not your fault at all.

But Bitsmith has helped many people overhaul their whole system so that many of these minor issues no longer occur, and you won’t have to call your ISP’s Technicians to blame and bill you any longer!

Family Photos and Videos

Smart Home Automation

Having a Smart Home Automation system installed can be a great idea.

But consider this before before getting a system installed: How much should you spend for the value you’ll get? Do you know which devices to choose to operate automated features? And does the system you’re installing have too many parts and directions to practically use?

It’s okay if you don’t, because Bitsmith has a team of experts who know which devices do what, and the right price to invest into purchasing and installing them.

Whole Home Audio

Keeping your music in sync throughout your home.

Getting an audio system installed throughout your house can be expensive. Many people get burnt trying to spend their money wisely, but don’t know enough about the technology and how much it costs to get it installed to make an economically-informed decision.  

Home Theater

Have you ever gone to Target or Best Buy and saw a home theater system on sale and thought, “WOW! I have to get that!”?

Then, when you did, it turned out to be a complete dud? Sometimes, people have seen technology on sale, get it, and then get stuck with it.
