Berman Freightliner, a trucking parts and repair company in Leesport, Pennsylvania, offers a full selection of cabs, frames, drive trains, and electrical and mechanical components to its customers in the transportation industry. The company relies heavily on their IT infrastructure - without it, they can't order parts for customers, they can't find parts in their warehouse, and they lose money every time they have to pay employees during network downtime. To increase productivity, eliminate downtime, and reduce IT hassles, they have turned to MOBILITECHS to create a custom IT support plan to meet their business goals.

"Every delay is costing us money," says Pete McCarron, President of Berman Freightliner. After dealing with a variety of outside companies with techs who only knew "geek speak," McCarron turned to MOBILITECHS.

MOBILITECHS "explains it to me in layman's terms. When we have a problem you solve it quickly. We don't have to go to a national organization that transfers us around to 6 or 7 people. You can be here within a short period of time," McCarron says.

Once the monitoring system is fully implemented, MOBILITECHS will be able to monitor Berman's network remotely 24/7 and provide key IT functions, including preventative server and workstation management, antivirus and spam protection, website hosting, firewall management, and backup and disaster recovery. Most importantly, they'll offer peace of mind that Berman's IT needs are fully covered for a low monthly price.

"People just want to work efficiently," Sutton says. "What we do is function like a teammate or coworker—someone who knows your IT needs and takes the stress and frustration out of managing your network and data," says Michael Sutton, President at MOBILITECHS.

Summer's here, and temps are soaring, so now's the perfect time to head for the beach, the mountains, or the local water park. But who's watching your network while you're dipping your toes in the sand this summer?

Business owners, before you slip on your flip-flops, ask yourself these questions:

• Do I have a complete backup of my business files? Many businesses NEVER back up their computer network or don't keep an offsite copy of their data. Unless you can remember it, or you made a copy of it, you can't recover the data. It's gone.

• Can I do a complete data restore to ensure my backups are working properly? Many business owners set up some type of backup system, but then never check to make sure it's working properly. It's not uncommon for a system to appear to be backing up, when in reality, it's not.

• Do I have offsite backups in case of disaster? No one expects a flood, fire, hurricane, tornado, or other natural disaster. Did you ever consider theft? What if someone breaks into your office and takes every single piece of computer equipment you have?

• Do I know whether my virus scan is on and up to date? With virus attacks coming from spam, downloaded data and music files, websites, and even emails from friends, you cannot afford NOT to be protected.

• Do I have a firewall to protect my network? Small business owners tend to think that because they are just a "small business," no one would waste time trying to hack into their network, when nothing could be further from the truth.

If you can't answer yes to these questions, you could return from your vacation to find your business mired in viruses, firewall breaches, and lost data.
