Repairs and Maintenance
Is your computer crashing or freezing in the middle of an application? Perhaps software has become corrupt or a hardware conflict is causing the problem. Perhaps the computer won't even boot.
PC Man can get you back up and running.

Servers
A Business Server gives you the capability to store all your data on one massive storage device (the Server) freeing up your individual PC's to run just the applications instead of dealing with hefty storage issues. This leaves the computers to run faster and more efficiently.
All machines connected to the network are able to access files stored on the server. Computers can be backed up daily to this central location adding a simple restore of lost files in the event of hardware failure. Can be accessed both in the office and remotely.

Secure Back Ups
PC Man can help you to protect all your media and data by making regular copies of your important data called "backups". These can be taken from all computers on your network and stored centrally on your new SME Business server or on another secure hard drive.
This way if anything should happen to your computer - all your data is safely backed up so that we can have you up and running in no time!

Data Services
Disposing of an old computer hard drive? Make sure all the data has been destroyed. Do not let any personal data get in to the wrong hands. Data destruction is the only secure way to have data removed from a hard drive. All hard drives are thoroughly wiped clean. Simply deleting files or reformatting the drive is not good enough. With data recovery programmes the hard drive and any data can still be accessed. The data has to be covered with zeroes and random patterns which make it unreadable by data restoration software.We have secure data destruction packages to meet any level of requirements.

What our clients say about us:
“Our business relies on networked and hosted systems, which means the quality of those systems and our IT support are probably the most important things we need for the business to function properly.
PC Man gives us the quality and reliability we need, but also understands that as we are a small business, we need value for money, and support that we can scale up as the business grows. Highly recommended.”
Kate Hartley, Partner
Carrot Communications

'We have been using PC Man since late 2006 and have found them to be really useful. We do not have the need for a full time PC person so PC Man is ideal. They always turn up when they say they will. When we need them they come the same day or the day after.
They are punctual and reliable. The engineer is clear and precise and doesn’t use PC language that we don’t understand'
Chris Mason
Albemarle College

'Top quality stuff. Plenty of people know how to deal with computers, but not necessarily how to deal with people. Michael's experience in the corporate world has obviously stood him in good stead. He was every bit as professional and thorough as the best IT professionals I have dealt with at work in big organisations. I would thoroughly recommend him to potential clients whether they be home or business users.' Roger N
'PC Man has been a fantastic support to The Awareness Centre and Managing Director. We do not hesitate when recommending this company onto other organisations because we trust them 100% with our computer network.
They are reliable and will always respond promptly to us if we have any IT technical problems so that we do not lose any business. They have also built us a new website which we are really pleased with.
Michaela McCarthy, MD
The Awareness Centre
'From the first day I engaged PC Man I have had nothing but instant help and support when required, that's what you need when your business can flounder if the machines break down. Always helpful, competent and speedy. I recommend their services wholeheartedly.'
Andrew Czezowski, MD

'I have had great success with PC Man from the IT perspective where Michael has always saved the day. Recently, I also hired Vicki from PC Man for some design work. I have started a new business and needed a website quickly but was put off by the complexity and expense. After speaking with Vicki I realized that it didn’t have to be as complicated or expensive as I was being told elsewhere. As the business concept evolved my requirements changed and Vicki was always able to offer intelligent, shrewd, practical advice that made the whole process so easy. Her technical skills are clearly evident but her design skills are incomparable. I now have a beautiful, user friendly site that I am proud to have as the ‘window’ of my business.
The customer response to the site itself has been well beyond my expectations. I would whole heartedly recommend PC Man – Michael and Vicki make quite a team.'
Melissa Merchant, Owner

'I am a self-employed person who unfortunately combines being technophobic with being utterly dependent on email, so when my laptop suffered a hard disk failure I felt positively ill.
This was not helped by the indifferent reaction I received when I phoned a well-known computer repair company. How lucky I was that the next number I tried, basically at random, from a business directory, was that for PC Man.
I received polite, courteous and helpful service, costs were transparent, I did not feel patronised, and everything was explained to me in terms I could understand. What's more, although I called near to the end of the working day, PC Man swung into action, worked on my machine overnight, kept me updated with progress, and returned my laptop as good as new first thing the next morning. I had forgotten that service like this existed!
I will certainly recommend PC Man to my friends and will use the company for all my future IT needs.'
