| The following case studies show how JonKeith Communications creates custom technology solutions for a wide range of small-business needs. | |
Disaster recovery |
|
| Problem: A power surge destroyed the network. A real estate sales office experienced a power spike that burned out the network equipment. The firm had no access to its servers or the Internet and faced significant down time—and loss of revenue. |
JKC Solution: We responded at once to assess the damage. Our experts brought replacement equipment, and within an hour of our arrival, the client firm was 100% operational. |
Too much of a good thing |
|
| Problem: Wrong technology solution has long-term cost impact. A former IT technician had installed a server that far exceeded the client’s needs. The server used high-end hard drives that offered blazing access times—at a steep price. When the hard drives required upgrading, the costs for the components was far more than the company's needs justified |
JKC Solution: Instead of a $2,000 solution, our research and recommendation resulted in a $ 300 solution, saving the client $ 1,700. |
Two relocations in one month |
|
| Problem: Moving day arrives—IT equipment does not. An insurance underwriter planned an office relocation. A last-minute problem forced them to leave their current space before the new office became available. As a result, the company faced two weeks without the telecommunications and computer systems required to conduct business. |
JKC Solution: We coordinated with six separate vendors to set up and install temporary phone and network services, keeping the company operational until its permanent move. |
Streamlined IT solutions |
|
| Problem: Too many IT vendors cost a fortune in monthly fees. A professional services firm decided to reduce its number of technology vendors. The monthly fees were costing too much money. The company approached JonKeith Solutions to centralize their technology and cut expenses. |
JKC Solution: We consolidated their computer operations by installing an Active Directory network and Microsoft Exchange server. This move eliminated monthly fees by allowing the firm to host its own email and website. |
Bonus: After we installed the new systems, the company experienced almost no down time in the next four years. And when the client experienced 300% growth in the next six months, we upgraded the network on a modest budget. |
