Calgary private school connected with a local Calgary IT support firm for what it thought was the right solution, only to discover that the solution lacked a robust backup strategy, and the server was overkill for the school’s small network.

Calgary, AB -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/09/2012 -- When decision makers at a Calgary private school with a dozen computer users needed a second opinion on the school's brand new IT system, they turned to trusted Calgary IT support firm, CTECH Consulting Group to put them back on track.

Cookie cutter IT solutions no longer work. Businesses today must have solutions tailored to their particular requirements and end goals. For one Calgary private school, its previous Calgary IT service provider failed to understand the big picture and designed a solution to meet current needs but didn't consider future ones.

"This is a great example of putting the technology first and the client's needs second in my opinion," said Fransen. "At CTECH, we always put the needs of our clients first, then design the right IT solution tailored to meet their needs today and tomorrow."

CTECH worked with some of the technology introduced by the previous IT supplier, but some things, like an LTO tape drive, simply didn't make business sense. CTECH sold the LTO tape drive to another firm where this technology provided value and used the resulting funds to design a backup and disaster recovery solution that met the needs of the Calgary private school.

Now the Calgary private school's needs have been properly satisfied by CTECH. Along with its tailored IT solution, the school enjoys a fully staffed, 24-hour help desk, monitoring, and remote and on-site IT support.

CTECH is the top Information Technology (IT) security services company that Calgary businesses can depend on to provide comprehensive solutions that will walk them through the three-step process of Build IT, Support IT and Grow IT. As a local Calgary Dell Partner, CTECH locks in on Dell SecureWorks as the best security solution to not only grow their IT -- but to keep it safe.

Calgary, AB -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/31/2011 -- To lots of businesses, purchases of servers, computers, and other Information Technology (IT) equipment and applications are a major investment for them. Oftentimes, by the time they've made their purchases, they don't have any funds left to think about purchasing a solution that will not only protect their equipment, but also their data. CTECH recognizes that and has a solution that they recommend to their clients.

Cyber thieves are getting bolder every day. They are becoming more polished at developing new and more destructive ways to hack into networks, websites, applications -- and their data. Security is probably one of the most common areas that businesses tend to ignore and can be one of the most costly areas if those cyber thieves gain access to an organization's systems.

According to Carl Fransen, President of CTECH Consulting Group, Inc., "Security needs to be of prime concern to each and every business owner. It can take a long time to build up your technology and information used on a daily basis but only a few minutes for someone intent on doing them harm to destroy everything they have worked so hard for. That's why CTECH has locked in on Dell SecureWorks as a security solution for businesses."

CTECH Security Services are designed to have the minimal overhead on your business with the maximum efficiency. Dell SecureWorks matches that description perfectly. Dell SecureWorks delivers real-time protection against existing and up-and-coming threats and vulnerabilities that may crop up. With iSensorTM, business owners can rest easy knowing that their business will receive protection round-the-clock from incoming and outgoing threats. This built-in security monitor is just one of several proprietary systems that provides the basis for SecureWorks.

CTECH sends out a call to local Calgary businesses to donate a computer for a needy cause. Their goal is lofty given the time constraints, but they know they can do it with help from those willing to lend a helping hand.

Calgary, AB -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/07/2011 -- Nowadays it seems like every house has 1-2 computers. That is not always the case however. Many low-income households cannot afford a computer. That is why CTECH is on a mission -- a mission to collect 200 computers and donate them to the Computers for Low Income Calgarians (CLIC) Foundation.

The CLIC program provides home computers to individuals and families in Calgary who might not be able to afford them. The program is hosted by the Calgary Drop-in & Rehab Centre (The DI). The DI's philosophy is to be a compassionate voice for the down and out low-income population of Calgary - without regard to the circumstances that led up to their demise.

CTECH wants to help. According to Carl Fransen, President of CTECH, "The DI Centre donations have been drying up. They are 200 computers short and the waiting list has grown to over 5 months. CTECH can do something about that, and we do so with pleasure."

CTECH is determined to have these computers in the hands of the people who need them by Christmas. There will be staff members who will even pick up the donations, and in exchange, will give 1 hour of system consulting time in exchange for any donation.

CTECH operates on the building blocks of Build IT, Grow IT and Support IT to provide their clients with the complete satisfaction and confidence in their technology systems. CTECH's professional Calgary IT services team will not rest until the client is satisfied with the needed servicing.
