Diagnostics and Repair
Is your system slow or unstable? Blade can economically identify and eliminate the cause of most system malfunctions. Non-bootable and spontaneously rebooting machines, slow and overburdened systems, and countless other problems are everyday fare for Blade technicians. Even complex and cryptic illegal operation errors, general page faults, thrown exceptions, and the infamous "blue screens of death" can usually be eradicated, given the required effort.

Upgrades
Adding memory or upgrading a processor is usually an inexpensive and effective way to increase system performance, and Blade technicians quickly and safely perform such tasks as a matter of routine. Additionally, Blade technicians will carefully optimize your system's settings to take advantage of its new hardware — a significant detail that other technicians often neglect. Hard drive upgrades — which may otherwise take days to complete and often result in lost data — can usually be accomplished in just a few hours at Blade Technologies. In fact, Blade will move all of your data, applications, and settings from your old drive to your new one. We're betting you've never even imagined such a quick and painless hard drive upgrade.

Security Sweeps
Identity theft is the fastest growing crime in America, and is projected to continue to rise. Related threats are also increasingly prevalent, such as viruses, spyware, privacy violations, corporate espionage (it happens far more than you think), and — in the age of the "Patriot Act" — even government monitoring. Security holes can cost individuals and business small fortunes, and inflict both headache and heartache. Those that neglect the issue of computer security certainly risk much. Blade Technologies will perform a comprehensive sweep of your entire infrastructure (including stand-alone systems, network traffic, routers and firewalls, etc.); eliminate all risks found; and recommend, install, and configure additional security software and hardware. We even offer a class on computer security that can teach your staff how to monitor network activity, generate and interpret security reports, and modify settings to work with new applications.

Networking
Perhaps both the single most important and least understood aspect of business infrastructure is networking — the technology that allows your computers to communicate with one another, share data, and act on all of this moving business information. Blade technicians can design and implement many types of networks, from two systems at your home that need to talk to each other to enterprises spanning the country. If you've been drooling over wireless technology (and who hasn't?), Blade Technologies can usually set up a network within a few hours of arrival. Back to Index
 
Web Design
It's likely that a significant segment of your customer base now uses the Internet as its primary source of information in both business-to-business and business-to-consumer transactions. Therefore, few companies can credibly justify not having an Internet presence, even if it's nothing but a single page presenting basic service and contact information. Thanks to some strategic business alliances and our network of skilled and talented professionals, Blade Technologies can design, code, register, host, and update your business web site for far less than these services can be obtained by the general public.

Software Development
Often, off-the-shelf "shrink-wrapped" software simply cannot meet the needs of niche and small-market businesses. Fortunately, Blade Technologies can create software tailored to your business model and day-to-day operations. Once completed, your business will have the exceedingly valuable benefit of priority, on-site support from technicians and engineers. It's true that the initial cost for custom software development can be considerable, but there are ways to lower costs without sacrificing quality, and long-term benefits usually far outweigh the total costs. Call Blade today for a free consultation to determine whether a custom software solution is right for your business. Back to Index
 
System Analysis, Design, and Integration
Years of disparate purchases, company mergers, evolving technologies, and growing business needs can result in dissimilar internal systems that can't effectively communicate with one-another. Blade Technologies can bring your motley machines into harmonious existence with its analysis, design, and integration skills, often effectively lowering the cost of businesses operations across the board.

Training
For most individuals and some businesses, the equipment is more than adequate, it's just the operators that need a little reconfiguring. :) Blade Technologies knows that computer systems are intimidating, infuriating, and utterly foreign to many people. In this light, we offer both individual and group classes covering Windows, Microsoft Office, WordPerfect, web design, and virtually any other computer-related topic. We can even create and teach curriculum customized to your business. Providing your employees with a little training can both increase morale and decrease business operation costs. Back to Index
