Software and Hardware Installation

Choosing the right tool for the job can be difficult. Equally, choosing and installing the right software package can be fraught with pitfalls. Typical problems encountered are:

  • Wrong software was bought and money wasted.
  • The chosen software was available at a cheaper price.
  • The software / hardware will not work on the existing computer. (A typical problem with older computers).
  • Users being unable to use the all the functions provided. This is typical with complex printers / scanners that have not been installed correctly.
  • Being unable to share documents due to incompatible software.

All the above pitfalls are easily avoided.

Home Example 1

A client of mine complained that their computer was running very slow and wanted some purchasing advice. Upon investigation, the computer performance was re-instated to original level. The final cost was less than £100 rather than several hundred for a new computer.

Business Example 1

Employees in the same company cannot share documents because each employee is using a different word processing package.

Business Example 2

New PCs were bought to replace older models. However, upon installation, it was discovered that the printers, scanners and software will not work on the new computers. There was considerable additional cost to replace all the printers and upgrade the software. These additional costs had not been budgeted.
