Windows 7 At Work

There are many advantages to using Windows 7 in your workplace. If you are currently a Windows XP user and thinking of upgrading to Windows 7, TimbukTech can assist you in making this migration across your office.

There are a few major differences between XP and 7 and a few subtle improvements to how you accomplish tasks. While Windows 7 is the most up-to-date version of Windows, TimbukTech services all version and can help you decide which would be the best fit for your office. If you're new to Windows 7, there are some subtle improvements to how you accomplish a certain task. For example, joining your business network is much faster, but a little bit different. In Windows XP and prior versions of Windows, available domains can be selected at the login screen. In Windows 7, the appropriate domain is already supplied for a user depending on his or her role within your company.

Regardless of the operating system you're running, the staff at TimbukTech can assist in setting up your office computers, training your staff and monitoring your network to prevent any problems. Contact us today for complete details or visit TimbukTech.com

VOIP Is Taking Over

Hang up on that huge phone bill for good and choose VOIP! At TimbukTech, we know that you have options when it comes to your phone service, but we wanted to make sure you know that we are one of those options! With our premium VOIP (Voice Over Internet) communications services, you can have reliable, always working phone systems in your office at a fraction of the cost of what you're paying now.

VOIP Phone services use the Internet to route phone calls making the service very flexible and scaleable for your growing business. Remember the days when you needed a big, clunky box mounted somewhere in the workplace to allow your phone extensions to talk to each other. Each phone had to be hard wired back to this massive box in order for it to work at all, and having phone extensions in multiple office locations across town or in another town was almost unheard of.

Now, with TimbukTech's VOIP service, you are able to give each of your employees a dedicated line, dedicated extension and dedicated phone that they can simply plug into the internet at their desk and it just works. Simple. Contact us today to learn more about how VOIP can help your business grow and expand all while saving you money!
